Quirk-Bailey, Sheila K. – ProQuest LLC, 2015
The historical focus of community college administrators has been student access. Recently, the focus has expanded to include completion as calls for accountability increase and college officials realize that the opportunities they provide go largely unrealized unless students earn credentials. In 2010, Goldrick-Rab demonstrated that the major…

But despite this growing education gap, dropout rates have remained…
