Student Learning Outcomes
In the recession of 2008-09, community colleges were experiencing record enrollment
increases. Meanwhile, state governments, with their loss in revenue, were being forced
to cut funding to the institutions. To meet the growing enrollment demand and still
provide access to higher education, institutions needed to increase revenue. Their
only options were to raise tuition and fees or reduce operating costs. With the public
outcry about the rising cost of higher education, the question of whether community
colleges practiced cost containment or not needed to be explored.
In an exhaustive search of the literature it was found that a study of cost containment
practices in higher education was done for public four-year colleges and universities,
but not for public community colleges. A survey, titled The Public Community College
Cost Containment Questionnaire, was sent to 981 community colleges to assess if cost
containment practices were being utilized for fiscal year 2008-iv09. The responses
demonstrated that institutions placed a strong importance on cost containment practices.
It was found that the most savings documented by the institutions were realized through
the following: facility and infrastructure energy management, adjustments to staffing
levels, and changes in academic and extracurricular activities.
