The Reckoning: Community Colleges in Crisis.

Community colleges in the US are facing an enrollment decline of 37% since 2010, with fewer than half of students earning any kind of credential. Critics argue that poor success rates and faceless bureaucracies are to blame, while advocates defend community colleges as serving students who need the most support but without the money to provide it. The spurning of community colleges has implications for the national economy, which relies on their graduates to fill many of the jobs in which there are shortages.
