Stronger Community College Finance as a Lever for Student Success

AACC Annual Convention 2025
April 15, 2025

Nashville, TN

This session engaged audience members in considering both the challenges and opportunities inherent in moving towards more adequate, equitable, and effective community college funding. It will also provided an opportunity for audience members to explore how specific contextual factors in their states might affect such efforts. Specifically, the session considered the following themes: What are the opportunities and challenges to equitable community college finance and student outcomes? What does it really cost to support students through credential attainment? How can categorical funding allocations contribute to more equitable student outcomes? Researchers from HCM and CCRC gave short, Ted-talk-style presentations. A Representative from the Tennessee Board of Regents provided reactions and contextualize these findings presentations within the Tennessee funding landscape. Then, attendees broke into small groups to explore issues and questions raised by panelists and finally reconvene to share their enhanced understanding through a facilitated discussion.
