This book aims to deepen public understanding of the community college and to challenge our
longstanding reliance on a deficit model for defining this important  powerful  and
transformative institution. Featuring a unique combination of data and research  Sullivan seeks
to help redefine  update  and reshape public perception about community colleges. This book
gives serious attention to student voices  and includes narratives written by community college
students about their experiences attending college at an open admissions institution. Sullivan
examines the history of the modern community college and the economic model that is driving
much of the current discussion in higher education today. Sullivan argues that the community
college has done much to promote social justice and economic equality in America since the
founding of the modern community college in 1947 by the Truman Commission.
