The New Reality for Higher Education

The community college here in Las Vegas has upgraded itself to a full college. That just ups the "prestige" not to mention salarys. The function of a community college should be to provide specialized training needed by local industry. It should also project coming needs like "solar technicians and installers" and set up programs to provide additional knowledge for people to survive in the workplace. It has to be flexible and aware of what's going on. It should also provide the math, science and english remediation needed for students to enter 4-year colleges and suceed. It's a terrible waste to have college professors spending their time doing this.
