Teaching homeless individuals.

As a faith-based social service organization, we feel compelled to open our school doors to everyone, regardless of their financial status or lack thereof. And, since we cannot waive the fees for some and charge others, we decided to have a free tuition policy for all, resulting in a noble mission but in a school being broke (by choice I admit). Are there any suggestions?

Consistency or inconsistencies allowed?

Our institution focuses and enrolls primarily individuals who are mentally challenged (as per our mission statement as a social service agency). The modules repeatedly warn against inconsistencies regarding what can be perceived as discrimination or favoritism. Is there anything inappropriate with being overly patient, overly aware of confidentiality issues, or even extremely forgiving(i-e understanding adverse side effects caused by medications ingestion, excusing authorized absences and crisis hospitalizations), which may require make-up lectures/exams for example, or even, in certain cases, postponement of graduation?

The importance of the catalog

The catalog is like a buyer/reference material for the student to be able to refer to and gain clarity and understand about the school, and the program. What will happen is the school runs out of catalogs? Do they have to stop enrolling students?
