A 7 page proposal for expanding Community College of Philadelphia (CCP) by holding classes at local high schools to create regional centers for adult working students. The main campus already is crowded and enrollment is expected to continue to increase. Holding night classes at area high schools reduces students' commuting time and transportation costs, and enables CCP to expand with little more cost than paying the school board for extra utility use.

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
is the nations fifth largest city (Gibson, 1998) and growing, making it more difficult with each passing year to reach a single location of any business or campus in a
convenient length of time. Increasing numbers of adult students seek education of the type furnished by the community college, which accounts for increased enrollment in all areas of the
country. The proposal here is to add satellite sites throughout the city so that Community College of Philadelphia (CCP) classes are convenient to
students regardless of where they live in the area. In addition to holding classes at the main campus, CCP also would hold classes in the Northwest, West and Northeast
sections of town. Background Philadelphias metropolitan area is located in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The city has workers who live in
both states, and CCP also has students who live in New Jersey. With 2.3 million workers over the age of 16, traffic in
Philadelphia is heavy and commutes can be long. As of the time of the 2000 census, nearly 40 percent of Philadelphias workers drove at least 30 minutes to work
one way; more than 10 percent of those drove for an hour (General Summary Report, n.d.). Most community college students are working adults
with varied educational backgrounds: * Some are just out of high school; * Others have returned to school after an absence of a few or many years; * Still others
seek additional training to keep pace with changes in the job market; * Some seek to enhance employment opportunities available to them. Dr.
