This study analyzed survey feedback from faculty (N = 849) at 12 different colleges at the City University of New York (CUNY), from both 2-year and 4-year institutions, across a range of disciplines, from both tenured and untenured faculty, and from both part-time and full- time faculty. Respondents, overall, identified worsening academic literacies, a reduction in academic standards, and an overall reduction in student success since developmental education has been phased out. Faculty also suggested an array of policy, curricular, and classroom-level solutions that would help student outcomes in post-remedial academia. These included reinstating exam-based placement protocols, developing students’ academic literacies more rigorously, and re-offering pre-requisite (remedial) coursework.

This qualitative study employed a thematic analysis of student responses to a semi-structured interview that asked students about their hesitancy to transfer to a 4-year institution. Participants included students enrolled in a collaborative NSF-sponsored S-STEM scholarship project between three community colleges and a large public university (all in the same large metropolitan area). The project included elements that are well documented in the literature to encourage transfer. These include advising visits by university staff, clear articulation pathways, scholarship support to assist with costs, peer and near peer mentoring opportunities, and cohort-building activities between campuses and on each individual campus. Transfer rates in this group were higher, but still many students with declared interest in transferring did not transfer on time or at all. The authors identified numerous hidden risks and barriers to transfer, in addition to the well-known ones found in the literature. These include additional academic, financial, social, logistical and external/family related barriers. A theme common to many of these barriers was complex bureaucratic processes and events outside of student’s direct control. Many student comments highlighted the importance of in-person connections, mentoring and advising.","PeriodicalId":51558,"journal":{"name":"Community College Journal of Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135199904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing item response theory (IRT), the UBQ was evaluated with a sample of 1155 community college students at one large community college on the west coast. In addition, other constructs were measured to ascertain the validity and further understand belonging in community college settings, including academic self-efficacy, intrinsic resilience, and ethnic identity. The results indicate the same three-factor solution as the UBQ when used with four-year university students, (a) Affiliation with (Community) College, (b) Campus Support and Acceptance, and (c) Faculty/Staff Relations. Four items were removed due to a lack of fit with the community college setting and poor reliability with their respective subscales and the total scale.

Moreover, research has also found that community college students, many of them students of Color, rely heavily on family to persist toward graduation. As a result, this study analyzes qualitative data from 14 community college students who reported on whether they viewed their family as financial education resources and what specific lessons they learned from their family to improve their financial wellness. Results suggest many community college students may not have family with extensive experience in and knowledge of financial sectors (e.g., banking, finance, investment) and education concepts (e.g., savings accounts, building credit, budgeting), and therefore, have little financial education to impart. In addition, many community college students’ financial education was limited to knowledge of saving, with students rarely reporting their family imparting any education about many other finance concepts. Finally, community college students witnessed reverse role modeling when it came to money management from their parents, often teaching these students what not to do with their finances. Implications for community college research, policy, and practice are addressed.Plain Language SummaryThis study reported on how 14 community college students viewed their family/family members as sources of financial education. Findings suggest these students learn little, if anything, from their families to improve their financial wellness.

The following research questions guide the study: 1) How has the pandemic and concurrent sociopolitical contexts influence the way staff, faculty, and administrators approach their work? 2) How do practitioners describe their experiences supporting formerly incarcerated students? 3) How are challenges and opportunities toward sustaining their programs described? I used a basic qualitative approach to collect interview data with 15 staff, faculty, and administrators. Once data were transcribed, I engaged in open and axial coding to capture participants’ words, which developed into categories and emergent themes. Faculty and staff expressed profound care for students and their programs and acted on this care by challenging deficit-perspectives and advocating for students’ needs. Despite many programs’ funding concerns, participants shared how they gain support for currently and formerly incarcerated students by developing webs of support toward a more inclusive campus environment. Findings reveal how practitioners respond to and meet students’ personal and academic needs by allocating and sharing relevant resources like housing support and advising services. Staff often assume a case management role for students and advocate for their programs’ needs such as funding and physical meeting spaces. Findings affirm the need for colleges to expand their support for formerly incarcerated students and develop intentional spaces toward empowerment and desistance.","PeriodicalId":51558,"journal":{"name":"Community College Journal of Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135886055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
