Jabbar, Huriya; Sánchez, Joanna; Epstein, Eliza – Urban Review: Issues and Ideas in Public Education, 2017
Community colleges have received renewed attention from policymakers seeking to increase college attendance and completion rates because they provide open access to postsecondary education for historically marginalized students.
