Stimulus funds + Community Colleges

By Peter Brigham posted on Fri, 2009-07-17 15:11 , 314 reads, 0 comments

With our recent work at Lorain Community College and in the Massachusetts community colleges, this NY Times opinion piece caught my eye.  The Stimulus package includes $12 billion plan aimed at producing 5 million more community college grads by 2020. The logic of the targeted funding appeals to me: an emphasis on education and a sector that has been long ignored.  Mr. Brooks points out that the funds are not focused on new buildings (well, there's some money but not a lot); rather, the stimulus includes money for programs and innovation in teaching a diverse population.
