Link: http://www.gseis.ucla.edu/ERIC/eric.html.

This digest explores the community college's mission to increase student attendance and performance by improving faculty diversity. Community colleges are filled with multicultural, diverse students who bring different knowledge and skills to educational institutions. These students are also attracted to the community college for different reasons. The faculty/student relationship is seen as the core to the learning experience. Students have to be able to identify with the faculty, and faculty members have to be able to identify with the students.
