College of Western Idaho president sees 'dynamic disruption' at community colleges, as dual-credit students flood in - BETSY Z. RUSSELL, Idaho Press
College of Western Idaho President Bert Glandon said everything is changing when it comes to Idaho’s community colleges, as they’re flooded with more and more high school students taking dual-credit classes. Within the next year and a half to two years, Glandon said, dual credit is “going to change the whole term of what retention is at a community college.” Increasingly, students will be showing up with as many as 35 college credits — which means rather than serving them for two years to get an associate’s degree, they might stay at a community college for just a single semester before they move on to a university or the workforce.
