If anyone knows - I has always thought from their pr that the Lynch Foundation subsidizes the cost of students in schools learning TM. Then in perusing the wikileaks documents that were mentioned here on FFL, I found this:
Description of the procedure involved in teaching the TM program in schools financed by the David Lynch Foundation. "The school signs the letter of intent and the school profile. The letter has to be signed by principal, attorney, superintendent or all the major players. They fax these forms to David Lynch Foundation and the Foundation then seeks approval for this program from MVED. Once approved, then they can be taught at $625/person. Then school is entered into a lottery. The next lottery is end of Jan. If approved, two stages -- initially $625/person for top administrators, the faculty (1 teacher per 10 students), a small group of parents. Secondly, the students. If more teachers or parents who are not servicing the students are interested, they may get in on the $625 fee." This makes it sound kind of like the Foundation reduces the fee on paper to $625, then charges the people that amount, for a net financial gain for the Movement and the Lynch Foundation. I looked for some explanation of fees on the Lynch website but there is none. Anyone know, are they charging the students the $625 or does the Foundation pay that amount on behalf of the students?
