Around 50% of higher education in the United States is done at community colleges. Tuition accounts for 2/3 of our budget. State subsidy for 1/3. In the past the numbers were reversed. Enrollment in higher education went through a decade long decline. It is now the case that colleges are chasing tuition dollars. Students are the client.

Sure, but they don't set the rules; sure, they do much of the education, but much of the demand for them comess from bachelor’s-degree bound students, so the course selection is set by what bachelor’s degree granting institutions accept.

Matriculation agreements are based on content covered not on whether or not the students learned the material. But since community colleges have less grade inflation than other institutions passing our classes means more.

The Higher Learning Commision is a farce. It’s purpose is for sinecures for its employees.

Ok, but as long as the institution is taking public money, the government can impose rules and regulations on the school.

That’s the Higher Learning Commission’s job. Partly their job. The HLC is a joke and an expensive farce.
