When Less is More: Prioritizing Open Access

When Less is More: Prioritizing Open Access looks at the mythical full-time equivalent student. Too often, the college community equates all students with full-time equivalents (FTE). This occurs even when it is well known that, unlike other sectors of education, the majority of community college students simply do not enroll full time. Quantifying support based on FTE may be damaging to community colleges in terms of funding and the support services needed for all students.
