Community college faculty clearly do more than teach. When the potential scholarly activities of full-time community college faculty are narrowly defined as research, however, mission creep is insinuated, and community colleges are accused of attempting to encroach upon the purview of four-year research institutions in an expression of "goal displacement." One way to invalidate the criticisms of mission creep is to apply a broader definition of scholarship to the activities of community college faculty. This brief suggests a perspective from which to view possible scholarly roles, responsibilities, and contributions of community college faculty.
