New employees, current leaders, graduate students, legislators, and boards of trustees need a grounded sense of the magnitude of the community college sector. 'Minding the Dream' evokes the laudatory goals of the early pioneers of the community college movement, while accurately framing key programs and political conundrums challenging community colleges. 'Minding the Dream' celebrates community colleges' successes and is scrupulously honest about their failings."-- _cfrom the publisher.
