| Book Description | The book analyses and evaluates several key community college reform programs that emerged after the recession of 2008 and as a result of major initiatives in california, new york, tennessee, florida, connecticut and wisconsin. Because of the economic downturn in the early 21st century, an already eroding financial base for public higher education saw even further losses. At the same time, enrollments were booming, particularly in the two-year sector where many students who would have traditionally forgone a college education, were now enrolling to ensure their competitiveness in a harsh labor market. Chapters in this book examine the development and implementation of initiatives and accountability measures imposed across the states by the obama administration, and consider their effectiveness in reducing the impact of the loss of students, and their role in improving courses. |
