The Community College Mission; Access or Anarchy?
Reitano, Joanne R.
Community Review, v10 n1-2 p5-12 Fall-Spr 1989-90
Urges two-year colleges to refocus their mission and goals in light of their poor image and status in higher education; their largely urban location; and their nontraditional, often high-risk, student population. Argues for cohesiveness in institutional mission, and new curricula more sensitive to students' urban context, demographics, and career aspirations. (DMM)
