It is titled: The Role of Community Colleges in State Adult Education Systems: A National Analysis. The new 35-page publication is by Vanessa Morest of the Community College Research Center of Columbia University, with assistance from Kerry Charron, Annika Fasnacht, & Daniella Olibrice. The study presents and analyzes data drawn from several sources, including state directors of adult education, the National Reporting System, and the U.S. Census Bureau. Its broad aim is to examine the structure of adult education in the U.S. with special attention to the role of community colleges as a component of the national delivery system. Among many other findings, the report reveals that neither adult education nor community college systems are adequately aware of the large role that community colleges play as a service provider in adult education and literacy. Because NIFL's listserv security protocol blocks attached files, a pdf copy of the publication is available for download from the CAAL web site at http://www.caalusa.org (scroll down the left column to item 3). Readers are free to make as many copies of the publication as they need. The remaining five papers in this series of task force resource papers will be rolled out over the next few months. This publication and the CAAL Community College Study project generally are made possible by funding from the Ford Foundation, Household International, the Lumina Foundation for Education, the McGraw-Hill Companies, the Nellie-Mae Foundation, Verizon, Inc., and several individual donors. -- Gail Spangenberg President Council for Advancement of Adult Literacy 1221 Avenue of the Americas - 46th Floor New York, NY 10020 212-512-2362, fax 212-512-2610 www.caalusa.org
