Defending the Community College Equity
Agenda.
Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University
Press, 2006. 328 pp. (hb) $45. ISBN 0-8018-
8447-0. Address: Johns Hopkins University
Press, 2715 N. Charles St., Baltimore MD

Based on case studies of 15 community col-
leges in the United States, this volume dis-
cusses such themes as access, training for
information technology certification, counsel-
ing students in community colleges, credit
systems, and others. The commitment of the
book is ensuring that US community colleges
continue to provide access to lower income
and minority populations. Since community
colleges educate just under half the total stu-
dent population in the United States and they
provide access to students who could not oth-
erwise participate in postsecondary education,
they are of great importance.
