This book explores the complexities of community colleges and
global counterparts by focusing on critical analysis of
governance, leadership, and mission. These complexities represent
emerging and evolving phenomena that impact the institutions’
ability to a) serve students; b) offer sound curricula; c) admit
and retain students; d) increase completion rates; e) create
viable and sustained partnerships locally and internationally; f)
address the needs of unique populations; g) funding and
sustainability, and h) support staff development to enhance
faculty and staff excellence.

This work will introduce and elaborate upon these topics to
highlight not only the challenges of the field in a variety of
countries worldwide, but to also begin to build comparative
understanding of the field at large. In that these
institutions are now identified, it is time to academically
address their role in higher education.
