Going, we are just going to get more of the same so please give a lot more scrutiny. This was not a very good chance for the public to weigh in before your review in october, but the fact about student debt, too, i want to reenforce that. The feds are starting to say if a school is producing a lot of debt and a lot of students who dont get jobs in their field when they graduate maybe they shouldnt guarantee the student loans. Maybe that should also play into our consideration. President melgar thank you. Any other Public Comment on this item . Public comment is closed. Commissioner fung. In the development of the Student Housing metering as indicated by the project sponsor approximately 30 of their enrollment, were statistics provided to staff on the other enrollees in terms, as an example percentage of commuters versus noncommuters . Thank you. That is a question of comparative analysis of the academy to other institutions . No in terms of balance of students. That was part of the dis
Behalf of 16 Community Groups and the commission knows this. The Development Team is also fully aware of this.

Build the Affordable Housing maybe 900,000. 40 units. If it was only 500,000, that would be 80 units. I object to the secrecy around the negotiations and the internal workings of the university there. Again, mcdonalds makes money from actually land leasing. They buy the land and then they get a tenant to be a franchisee. It looks like the aau is in the same boat as the people who own the university on the one hand through various llcs own the sites that in the future they can choose to sell off in different ways.
