States Turn to Community Colleges as Route to Bachelor's Degree as 4-Year Campuses Face Tight Budgets and Overcrowding.
Mercer, Joyce
Chronicle of Higher Education, v38 n35 pA1,28 May 6 1992

Debate focuses on availability of appropriate resources, duplication of effort, and dilution of degree quality. (MSE)
