Abstract	These background papers were developed for the use of the California Commission for the Review of the Master Plan for Higher Education in preparing its report, "The Challenge of Change: A Reassessment of the California Community Colleges." Section 1 provides an introduction to the role of California's community colleges in its postsecondary education system and the legislative support for that system. Section 2 offers information on California's current socioeconomic and demographic composition, including data on the socioeconomic characteristics of the community college student population. Section 3 considers factors related to access and success, such as the changing definition of access, tensions created by demands for "competitive excellence" and "egalitarianism," recent legislation, and a proposed new strategy. Section 4 focuses on the mission and functions of California's community colleges, while section 5 looks at the community college faculty and administrators in terms of credentials, affirmative action, full-/part-time faculty, compensation, collective bargaining, professional development, and tenure. After section 6 considers issues related to community college governance, section 7 offers financial information on expenses and capital outlay. Finally, section 8 describes features of a new master plan for postsecondary education in California. Appendices include commissioner votes and comments on recommendations, information on the commission and its process, related legislation, and references. (EJV)
