College students have enough to do without having to also provide a service to the community.
An educated person is a great benefit to society. It may not be what the board had in mind adding hours to the already crammed schedule of the average college student but the result is a greater benefit than the original plan. Those students who do have the time for extracurricular community service so far none found more power to you. Most students however, do not. We encourage students to volunteer at the YMCA or at the local library, but don t make it a requirement.
