• Enrollment of black and Hispanic students, too, is generally much higher at community colleges than at four-year institutions. [...]if four-year colleges want their student body to resemble the nation, recruiting community-college students is essential. To increase the number of college graduates, we need to make it easier for many more of the millions of community-college students to transfer to a four-year college and earn their degrees. Just as important, continuing-education programs at four-year colleges and universities should be enlisted to help community-college graduates earn their degrees while working full time.
