Question
1. Cohen and Brawer (2003) note that community college students are characterized by two terms, number and variety. Your professor noted that the community college students are served as a broad market segment. What do you think this means? Does a broad student market make recruitment and instruction complex issues for community college administration? In what ways is this process complex? What factors to you see in the recruitment and instruction process? Name at least three and why.

2. 2. In the text, Cohen and Brawer note that increased numbers of community college students are of lower academic ability. Cross (1971) also notes that the majority of community college students entering open enrollment “are of the lower half of high school classes, academically and socio-economically”. While this indicates that Cross’ egalitarian model is operative, is motivating lower ability students challenging for instructors? What sort of issues might arise in student attendance and instruction?
3. 3. Cohen and Brawer argue that for most community college students that their higher educational choices are a community college education or nothing. What factors are involved in that sole choice? How does this impact minority students? Is funding the only factor for them? What other issues do you sense are impacting them?
