Wonder how much these new classes will cost. My gut feeling is they'll be at least triple what previous classes were.

As to not disrupting present activities, I can more or less buy this statement. A lot of the rec center room usage was for previous classes. It may be more difficult for new clubs to get a room, though.
My first year of college at the ripe old age of 19 the school cafeteria welcomed people from the state retirement facility. Unfortunately, not many of they came. I did befriend a brilliant guy in his 80's and I learned far more from him then from too many of the professors.

I also took some night courses where ???? about half the class were vets and/or working people. Again, it was a great leaning experience.

Perhaps, whomever came up with that 30+ would find a note from their parents OK.
