quietfan 233 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Does anyone have a link to a good summary/review of everything that has gone on in the Jr. College system that has been in the state news so much recently? (Or perhaps the time to objectively summarize everything yourself?) I know the 2-yr system has been rife with political patronage and favoritism for decades, but I somehow missed out on the beginning of the most recent scandals and was hoping for a "Cliff's Notes" version to help me catch up.

Brett J. Blackledge won a Pulitzer for his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterinbham 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Hey, the junior college system had its origins with George Wallace. Shouldn't that tell you everything you need to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much just what I was looking for...although I see I've got my reading cut out for me.I don't think any of this comes as a surprize to anyone who's watched the 2-Year system over the years, however. Just nice to see something being done about it. [Although politicians being what they are in Alabama, I'm not holding my breath to see how far "reform" will really go.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
