This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community colleges continue to play a vital role in the higher education system. However, the institutions' commitment to open access has been problematic for leaders as enrollments continue to increase, but the institutions' ability to maintain their services and remain committed to their mission has been decreased. With regard to state funding for education, community colleges generally exist as the least funded entity. Most states place a clear emphasis on financial support for K-12 institutions, often viewing institutions of higher learning as secondary in the funding process. The purpose of this study was to examine community college funding trends in other southern states in an effort to discover advantages associated with a stable funding process in Mississippi. The researcher used a finance survey to survey fifteen southern states in February 2008. Thirteen of the states returned a completed survey, with South Carolina and West Virginia declining participation. Results of the survey yielded several interesting findings. First, with the exception of Alabama, all of the surveyed states reported the utilization of funding formulas in the appropriation process to a certain degree. Second, the concept of community college governance is being actively explored by states that participated in this study. Finally, tuition and fees continue to rise among community colleges in the surveyed states, which undermines the institutions' ability to maintain their open-door policies. Several recommendations were also made as a result of this study. First, the State of Mississippi should reconsider how its public community colleges are governed. Second, the state's community college leaders should continue to press for full funding of the Mid-Level Funding Bill. Third, leaders should conduct periodic surveys of peer institutions in other SREB states. Fourth, leaders should continue to develop community college alumni associations and foundations. Finally, leaders should increase awareness of the state's community and junior colleges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smart financial management means more students served Community College Finance provides an introduction to best practices for community college leaders and their boards, with guidance on the complex regulations, processes, and considerations surrounding the financial management of these unique institutions. As community colleges continue to increase in importance, this book provides non-technical yet extensive information to guide current and future leaders toward the establishment of effective processes to secure and maintain the funding that is so crucial to the education and future of millions of students nationwide. Readers will gain insight into the background and foundation of community college finance and learn the essentials of practice in today's economic and political climate. The discussion covers student financial aid, tuition, budgeting, and more, and explores the future of federal policy and what it means for the institutions that play such a critical role in the nation's educational system. Over eight million students attend more than a thousand community colleges in the United States today, and those colleges are now facing the retirement of their founding generation of leadership. Meanwhile, the balance between traditional funding sources is shifting as new models and approaches are being implemented, and comprehensive, guiding resources are lacking. This book fills that need with expert insight reflecting current realities and a true understanding of the challenges community colleges face. Readers will: Delve into factors affecting funding and the cost of attendance Develop a budgeting style and process that serves the institution Learn to manage fiscal crises effectively without reducing standards Consider the future of federal policy and how it will affect budgeting At a time when a difficult economy raises questions about the value of higher education, the value that community colleges offer becomes ever more clear. Community College Finance provides the guidance leaders need to help their institutions flourish.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is by far the best study that I know of on community colleges. It comes at a critical time in the history of these institutions. It is carefully reasoned, beautifully written, and sound in its conclusions."—Howard R. Bowen; Professor of Economics and Education, Claremont Graduate School "...and excellent piece of work....Its quality is high and the book is significant. Its significance stems from the fact that it deals with an area of higher education not yet explored by other writings."—Earl F. Cheit; Dean, Schools of Business Administration; University of California, Berkeley "...a great job of describing and clarifying the issues....The book should become 'required reading' for our field...a very fine piece of work that will be a valuable tool for educators, students, and policy-makers."—Roger Yarrington; Vice President, Research and Development, American Association of Community and Junior Colleges "...a thorough job of compiling the pertinent data; of identifying key questions; and of focusing upon central, rather than tangential, issues....Leaders and policy-makers in community colleges and in governmental positions will undoubtedly find the work an invaluable resource."—Bill J. Priest; Chancellor Emeritus, Dallas County Community College District

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustaining fiscal support for community colleges has becoming increasingly difficult in an era marked by recurrent recessions, legislator reluctance to raise taxes, and intense competition for scarce resources from health care, K-12 education, and other pressing demands on state treasuries. After introductory chapters that provide historical, political, and economic perspectives on the fiscal environment in which commuity colleges operate, this volume describes institutional approaches to securing adequate funding in the face of fiscal uncertainty. Chapter authors provide guidelines for fundraising, leveraging corporate support through cooperative education programs, securing government grants for workforce development, managing mill levy elections for increased local tax support, and realigning budget priorities in the face of economic downturns. The volume also discusses the implications of today's changing fiscal environment for community college presidents and the skills they need to sustain adequate funding in the face of unpredictable revenue streams. This is the 132nd volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Community Colleges.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review of state approaches to community college financing includes information from 42 states, representing 97% of the total community college enrollments in the country. Section I offers a brief analysis of the status of community college financing in 1988, highlighting several changes in resource allocation methods. The report notes that funds are directed to institutions on the basis of individual and/or system negotiation instead of by full-time student equivalent (FTE); that the political influence of the system/institution has increasingly become a major factor in determining allocations; and that states are increasingly computing allocations based on a "cost to continue" with an increased number of instances of funding for defined categorical aid. Section II presents tables showing, for each state: (1) operating funds by source; (2) sources of state appropriations by percent for general operating and unrestricted funds; (3) mean expenditures of operating costs for credit programs; (4) rank order of states by reported expenditure per FTE student; (5) states reporting or anticipating changes in methods of financial support; (6) state funds which are categorical or for limited use; (7) sources of funds for capital outlay; (8) sources of funding for noncredit courses; (9) tuition/fee changes; (10) financial aid changes; (11) state provisions for colleges experiencing enrollment declines; and (12) state financial problems. Section III offers brief case studies of the financial situation in each state, grouped by type of funding method. Finally, section IV suggests revised criteria for financing community colleges. A 23-item bibliography is included. (UCM)
