The Article “Community College Faculty Involvement in Decision-Making” analyses the perceptions of community college faculty and their participation in the decision –making.

One hundred Community College faculty from the Midwest were surveyed in different categories, finance, instruction, personnel, institutional mission and students. The category that they felt more part of the decision making process was in instruction and the least was in finances. In general, most of the faculty felt that the administration was autocratic.

Well Facilitated Learning Community

The article College Makes New Connections With Service-Learning Program from the Chronicle of Higher Education described how a group of college administrators, professors, students and community can make a difference in the community by working together.

At Wagner College, on Staten Island the faculty and provost stared a program where Community College students can take a service-learning course and help the community at the same time. This is a great example in how a well-facilitated learning community can help and benefit the school and the community as a whole. This article shows that the learning community is still analyzing the outcomes of the program.
