WCC might buy WCC

Or, just to be a bit more clear: Washtenaw Community College might take over the Washtenaw Country Club, according to this article in the AANews. Here’s a quote:

“We’re not looking for a golf course, we’re not shopping for one and we’re not going to buy one,” [Washtenaw Community College President Larry] Whitworth [...]
