In Community Colleges and the Access Effect: Why Open Admissions Suppresses Achievement,
Juliet Lilledahl Scherer and Mirra Leigh Anson provide readers with a
thought-provoking dive into the realities of the completion agenda, financial
aid policy, and the unfortunate impact of open access on the most vulnerable
students who enter community colleges: those who lack college-level skills and
test into developmental courses. This book gives social justice educators a new
perspective on issues of equity and open access to education in community
colleges.
