First of all, I 💯 agree with you that all employees should be paid a living wage!

Obviously some people will fall on hard times despite what they’re paid, so it’s good to have this service in general. Let’s hope not too many employees have to utilize this on the regular.

This is a public community college in Florida. If it’s anything like my public university here in North Carolina, the state probably allocates the salary budget through legislation, and the school itself has very little (if any) say in what employees earn. So, unless I’m mistaken, the blame for the living wage argument would rest solely on the state; and if that’s the case, I would give kudos to the college for offering this service in spite of the state.
