| Abstract | Community colleges are essential to meet state educational attainment goals, yet the colleges are largely underfunded to serve underprepared students entering through the open door of access. As resource-dependent institutions, community colleges need to engage in the politics of higher education through advocacy. This chapter presents results from a qualitative study of community college advocacy practices in three states with bifurcated higher education governance. Interviews with the community college system, state community college board, state president, and trustee association leaders, and college presidents and trustees were conducted to identify advocacy practices and challenges to increase state appropriations in support of the completion agenda. Findings point to three advocacy challenges, the stigma of community colleges, competition with the university system for limited state higher education funding, and getting the attention of legislators to understand the value of community college degrees and credentials. The chapter offers recommendations for expanded advocacy. (As Provided). |
