"Boosting student transfers from community colleges to four-year institutions is a matter of getting all the right policies and programs in place."
Can Community Colleges Save the U.S. Economy?
July 2009 - time.com
"Community colleges are deeply unsexy. This fact tends to make even the biggest advocates of these two-year schools—which educate nearly half of U.S. undergraduates—sound defensive, almost a tad whiny. 'We don't have the bands. We don't have the football teams that everybody wants to boost,' says Stephen Kinslow, president of Texas' Austin Community College (ACC). 'Most people don't understand community colleges very well at all.' And by 'most people,' he means the graduates of fancy four-year schools who get elected and set budget priorities."

July 2009 - insidehighered.com
"There is concern, however, that a significant number of low-income students will be thwarted in their efforts to transfer from nearby community colleges. By closing off spring admission in 2010, as it plans to do, the system will leave some community college students with nowhere to go."

"The University of Houston-Victoria was started in 1973 as an upper-level institution to allow community college students access to bachelor's and master's degrees. Even though we are becoming a destination university, UHV will still welcome many students from area community colleges."
'Clustering' among UTEP student-athletes
July 2009 - kvia.com
"It's called clustering when a large percentage of student-athletes from the same college team end up studying the same major. But does it happen by choice or by design?"
Concordia expands online courses

"Concordia University Texas announced earlier this week it will expand its offerings of online courses as part of a partnership with the Online Consortium of Independent Colleges and Universities."
NVCC 'Guarantees' Admission to State Colleges
