THE COMMUNITYJUNIOR COLLEGE AND ITS ECONOMIC VALUE: A 3YEAR STUDY

abstract

• As local governments tighten their budgets, communityjunior colleges are often caught in the squeeze. Economic impact studies are often appropriate to help explain the monetary benefits of a local communityjunior college. Temple Junior College evaluated its impact on the local Temple, Texas, economy over a 3year period. The results have been used as a meaningful public relations tool that has allowed the administration to explain the value of the college in quantitative terms. 1994 Taylor and Francis.
