  • Where Should We Site Our Community College
    Copyright 2013 Patrick S. Noonan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Urban v. Suburban: The Examination of the Debate Over Where to Site Two New Jersey Community Colleges by Patrick S. Noonan A dissertation submitted to The Graduate School of Education Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education In Social and Philosophical Foundations of Education Approved by: ____________________________________________________ Dr. Benjamin Justice, Chair ____________________________________________________ Dr. Bruce Baker, Committee ____________________________________________________ Dr. Randall Westbrook, Committee New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2013 ABSTRACT This research examines the debate surrounding the site selection of several New Jersey community colleges. It takes into account the 1960s time period in which they were founded. The process to establish a community college commenced with each county establishing a committee to assess whether or not there was a need to institute a county college within its boundaries. As each county deliberated where to locate its community college, New Jersey experienced civil unrest, a demographic shift from the cities to the suburbs, and race riots. In this study, two New Jersey counties, Essex and Mercer, are thoroughly studied in depth as to how they chose the sites for their community college. Two other counties, Passaic and Middlesex, are studied as a means of comparison. These counties were chosen since they contained urban and suburban locations as possible locales for their community college. These decisions were watched very closely by the community, the press, and many civic and religious organizations. The primary research question is: How did each of the two counties approach its decision where to site its community college and in what ways did the concept of race influence that decision? To examine these decisions, I adhere to a standard methodology of history where a review and analysis of primary and secondary sources are the key components.
