Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This resolution recognizes April as "Community College Month" to celebrate the more than 1,000 community colleges across the United States. The resolution highlights that these institutions serve approximately 10.5 million students and play a critical role in providing affordable access to higher education, workforce training, and economic opportunity. Community colleges charge an average annual tuition of $4,050 for in-district students and serve a diverse population including working adults, low-income students, parents, veterans, and first-generation college students. The resolution notes that community colleges contribute significantly to the nation's economy, with their alumni generating nearly $900 billion in added income to the national economy and every dollar of public funding returning $6.80 in tax revenue. This is a symbolic resolution with no funding or implementation requirements, simply asking Congress to recognize the importance of community colleges to American prosperity and competitiveness.
