The only overview of research on the uniquely American community
college system, which is increasingly becoming the site of entry
for students seeking a higher education. This new volume shows why
America's community colleges increasingly find themselves at the
epicenter of social conflict, surrounded by unresolved questions
such as: In a country based on the notion of equal opportunity,
shouldn't all high school graduates have access to higher
education? Are access and excellence really compatible? What is the
real work of community colleges? Is it to provide transfer programs
for students going on to baccalaureate colleges or training workers
for careers in business and industry? In this comprehensive guide,
readers will find not only a solid grounding in the latest research
on these difficult questions but also a thoughtful analysis of the
social forces that gave rise to American community colleges and
still shape them today. Five narrative chapters address the
history, evolution, and current issues facing community colleges
Three additional chapters include a chronology; a listing of
organizations, associations, and agencies; and an annotated listing
of print and nonprint resources
