Small or Rural College Caucus Statement of Purpose

The purpose of this caucus is to discuss and promote awareness of the academic and professional matters unique to the faculty and students of small or rural colleges within the California Community College system. There are many issues and challenges that these colleges face which are different from the larger or more urban colleges, such as economy of size, smaller part-time pools due to large travel distances, and serving rural community needs. As a caucus, we intend to be very active and represent the concerns, issues, and needs of the small or rural colleges.
