Community College Advocate Sees Federal Support Gap
Dr. Martin, a high level official in the federal education chain, discusses barriers for community colleges and the need for dedicated legislation. She cites censorship of speeches, limited support, and a shift toward direct student grants amid a Senate and executive branch climate. Inflation and a higher cost sewer tax in Simonstown also surface as unrelated global notes.

Community colleges must adapt to evolving education mission
Dr. Martin argues that community colleges should offer valuable programs beyond two year training and avoid becoming parchment focused. She cites Kirkwood’s flexible options, growing older female enrollment, and the blend of academic and vocational content as essential, with future emphasis on outreach, shorter training, and better high school articulation.
