The American Association of Community Colleges recently issued a new policy brief. In Rebalancing the Mission: The Community College Completion Challenge, the organization addresses what it means for community colleges to embrace completion in the same way that they have historically embraced access. In the report, one of the fundamental challenges is stated: "Funding community colleges at one fifth the amount that public 4-year institutions receive and expecting community colleges to provide the services and opportunities needed to reach an ambitious national completion goal is a problematic proposition."
