This is the first comprehensive and contemporary history of the largest and most diverse public system of higher education in the United States. Serving over 2 million students annually—approximately one-quarter of the nation's community college undergraduates—California’s 116 community colleges play an indispensable role in career and transfer education in North America and have maintained an outsized influence on the evolution of postsecondary education nationally. A College for All Californians chronicles the sector's emergence from K–12 institutions, its evolving mission and growth following World War II and the G.I. Bill For Education, the expansion of its ever-broadening mission, and its essential role in the 1960 Master Plan for Higher Education. Chapters cover California’s junior and community colleges’ development, mission, governance, faculty, finances, athletics, student support services, and more. It also examines the successes and ongoing political, financial, and educational challenges confronting this uniquely American educational experiment. Book Features: Encapsulates the evolution and contemporary status of our nation’s largest and most diverse undergraduate education system.Examines how the colleges were influenced by the political, economic, and social issues of the day.Includes new historical information affecting postsecondary education in California.Analyzes some of the most important current and emerging issues that will continue to influence California’s community colleges.

"It is by far the best study that I know of on community colleges. It comes at a critical time in the history of these institutions. It is carefully reasoned, beautifully written, and sound in its conclusions."—Howard R. Bowen; Professor of Economics and Education, Claremont Graduate School "...and excellent piece of work....Its quality is high and the book is significant. Its significance stems from the fact that it deals with an area of higher education not yet explored by other writings."—Earl F. Cheit; Dean, Schools of Business Administration; University of California, Berkeley "...a great job of describing and clarifying the issues....The book should become 'required reading' for our field...a very fine piece of work that will be a valuable tool for educators, students, and policy-makers."—Roger Yarrington; Vice President, Research and Development, American Association of Community and Junior Colleges "...a thorough job of compiling the pertinent data; of identifying key questions; and of focusing upon central, rather than tangential, issues....Leaders and policy-makers in community colleges and in governmental positions will undoubtedly find the work an invaluable resource."—Bill J. Priest; Chancellor Emeritus, Dallas County Community College District

The California Community Colleges is the largest system of higher education in the United States with more than 2 million students enrolled in 115 colleges. The system consists of 73 local community college districts, which are responsible for governance of the colleges. This dissertation examines the finances of those districts. Extensive research suggests educational inputs affect student outcomes, and recent reforms in California, such as a new state-administered Student Centered Funding Formula and the California College Promise, assume changes in community college finances will support educational improvement. However, little is known about how the districts' finances vary today. Using administrative data from the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office (CCCCO), I find that revenues and expenditures vary meaningfully across the system, exceeding standards of fairness drawn from prior literature. Further, although prior research suggests that low-income students require greater support to achieve similar outcomes, my analysis does not find evidence that districts who enroll higher proportions of these students receive greater revenues or incur greater expenditures the students may need. Finally, some districts, and even some receiving higher per-student revenues relative to other districts, appear to be facing challenges when indicators of financial health (i.e., deficits and fund balances) are measured. These results can inform state-level policy to better target the distribution of funds. They can also assist local leaders in setting priorities in their budgets.
