When Less is More: Prioritizing Open Access
(October 2017)
When Less is More: Prioritizing Open Access looks at the mythical full-time equivalent student. Too often, the college community equates all students with full-time equivalents (FTE).

Quantifying support based on FTE may be damaging to community colleges in terms of funding and the support services needed for all students.
