Summary:
"Historically,
community
colleges have served societal and functional
missions
that expanded over time, with the result of trying to achieve multiple goals for multiple audiences. This volume explores the
forces
currently
shaping
community
college
missions
and the resulting tension between stated goals, assumed goals, and achievement of those goals. In an era of increasing accountability, tighter coupling, and the need to do ever more with fewer resources, mission focus is vital to
college
survival. This work explores such issues as: the unspoken social contract, transfer, developmental education, noncredit education, dual enrollment, workforce development, the free
college
movement, and planning for the future. The topics are explored thoughtfully from both scholarly and practical perspectives, highlighting the
forces
that shape
community
college
missions
