California determines how much money each community college gets using the 'Student Centered Funding Formula' (SCFF), which has three parts: - 70% based on # students (adjusted for whether they're part time or full time) - 20% based on # students who receive Pell Grants or similar - 10% based on student outcomes like graduation or transfers to four-year colleges Fake students would inflate the first two. So, even if fake students deflate the final item (eventually), what incentive do community college leaders (who presumably care about the number of staff they're able to employ) have to expel fake students, or even to be honest about their prevalence?
