Coping with Workfare: The Experience of New York City's Community Colleges.
McCormick, Lynn
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v27 n6 p531-547 Jul 2003
Examines the extent to which urban community colleges are able to develop new programs for welfare recipients under welfare reform. Reports that, according to a survey of New York City's community colleges, although the policy environment has dampened new programming for welfare recipients among these institutions, some exemplary programs have emerged. States that staff activism, alternative pedagogies, and flexible organizational structures were key aspects of these programs. (Contains 30 references.) (RC)
