Have you heard of Kay McClenney? You may know her as part of the team that developed the nine principles of good practice for assessing student learning published by the American Association for Higher Education. She is a well known community college researcher who believes that the work she has done reveals that "options do not work for first-generation students." Dr. McClenney argues that limiting the structured pathways to graduation can produce positive results for students who choose to attend a community college.
