Effective State Board Leadership in Community College Development, Papers of a Workshop (San Francisco, September 26-27, 1968).

A workshop sponsored by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education was attended by members and staffs of state boards for community colleges and by interested representatives from states without such boards. More than 75 people represented 13 states. Its purpose was to broaden the participants' understanding of the issues of community colleges and to learn how various states have coped with their rapid growth. This report contains summaries of speeches by six consultants: (1) "Community College Systems Across the Nation," by Leland Medsker; (2) "The Community College in the American Educational System," by Thomas Shay; (3) "A Joint Presentation on Distribution of Responsibility Between State and Local Community College Boards," by Dale Tillery and Leland Medsker; (4)"Budgeting and Financing for State System Colleges: Some Trends and Guidelines," by Paul Elsner; (5) "Considerations in Building a Community College System--the 'If,''When,''Where,' and 'What' of Developing Community Colleges," by Frederick Giles, and (6) "New Models for Planning Community Colleges," by John E.
