Adult Learners: Why They Are Important to the 21st Century College or University.
Bash, Lee
Journal of Continuing Higher Education, v51 n3 p18-26 Fall 2003
College-based adult learning programs are beset by low status, lack of institutional support, cash-cow syndrome, lack of faculty investment, and the dichotomy of traditional/adult students. The academy should embrace an entrepreneurial mission in order to adapt to the challenges of the 21st century. (Contains 15 references.) (SK)
