1,000 students receiving degrees and/or certificates translates into 10% of the enrolled 10,000 Full-time equivalent students meeting the main mission of degree/certificate completion of the California Community College System. MSJC’s current budget of $100,000,000 million dollars translates into a taxpayer cost of $100,000 per student receiving a degree and/or certificate.
Numerous students enrolled through the front door, but few leaving the back door with completed degrees/certificates. Completion rates should become a focused prioritiy within every institution and administrative salaries should be tied to performance in this area. Non-accountability, golden parachutes and local politics have replaced old school accountability.
