Woodroof, Robert H., Ed.
New Direction for Community Colleges, v18 n1 Spr 1990
A rapid decline in the number of private liberal arts junior colleges is forcing educators to examine the status of this special sector of higher education. This monograph focuses on the history and future of these colleges in higher education, the marketing of private junior colleges, institutional assessment, church-related colleges, computer instruction in junior colleges, and adjunct and full-time faculty ratios. The following articles are included: (1) "A History of Resilience," by Robert H. Woodroof; (2) "The Private Junior College in Higher Education's Future," by Nelson M. Hoffman, Jr.; (3) "A Professional Approach to Marketing the Private Junior College," by Peter T. Mitchell; (4) "Assessment, the Affordable Way," by John H. Williams; (5) "Expanding the Religious Heterogeneity of the Student Body," by George D. Fields, Jr.; (6) "Instructional Use of Computers in the Junior College," by Gordon L. Wells; (7) "The Adjunct/Full-Time Faculty Ratio," by Milton L. Smith; and (8) "Doubts about the Future of the Private Liberal Arts Junior College," by Robert H. Woodroof. (VVC)
