presently growing; (3)the leadership of the United States in postsecondary education provision is eroding; and (4)future increases in enrollments will be composed significantly of “non-traditional” students.4Each point is discussed briefly below.Ongoing growth of community collegesWhile some of the community college growth has leveled in the last two years, the nation hasseen a tremendous growth in the past 15 years in this sector. Currently, community colleges(CCs) serve more first generation college students, those who are traditionally underrepresentedin science technology, engineering and math (STEM) and others with financial needs. Accordingto the American Council of Community Colleges, full time enrollment in CCs remain stable,with

A SPSW frame is comprised of a rectangular system ofrigidly jointed columns and beams with a thin steel infill plate which resists the lateral forcesdeveloped during earthquake ground motions. The flexural rigidity of the frame and the shearstrength of the plate is the source of lateral stiffness
