For example, Kicker’s case study emphasizes that community colleges and universitiesmust work together to sustain a working partnership in establishing an effective transferpartnership [16], [18]. Other previous studies showed that if transfer policies implemented asystem that accepts upper-division courses, transfer students would have a smoother transition thatensures transfer student’s success [15]. Additionally, the Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADT)“does not guarantee completion of all prerequisite courses for an intended major but will allow astudent to complete their general education courses and be in junior standing” [13

In the case of themarket for used cars, much has been done since the 1970’s to mitigate structural inequity, and wecan certainly learn from them in addressing inequities in the transfer student market.2.1 Expert Verification and HistoryA major contributing factor to information asymmetry in the used car market is the fact that carsare highly complex mechanical structures, making it exceedingly difficult for non-experts to assesstheir quality. One method buyers have for dealing with this is through expert verification, namely,by having a trained mechanic inspect a car prior to purchasing it.We

as the most important sources of informationthough at least two students commented there was not enough information and they did their ownindependent research.We also asked students to comment on what they found to be the biggest challenge(s) during thetransfer process and specifically what would have helped in overcoming those challenges. By farthe most commonly mentioned reason was being unsure which classes would transfer from 2-yearto 4-year colleges, and understanding what the transfer prerequisites were. Some studentsmentioned that they attended multiple 2-year colleges and had greater difficulty figuring out whatclasses would and would not count toward their 4-year degree.A majority of post-transfer students (68%) reported having an
