In this March 31, 2010 photo, Tania DeLeon, 20, right, an administration of justice major at Folsom Lake College, works with her supervisor Sarah Aldea in the Outreach department at her on-campus job in Folsom, Calif. DeLeon, who can't get into the classes she wants, must shuttle between two campuses 45 minutes apart and is spending spring break earning a paycheck so she can pay for gas and graduate on time. Grappling with record enrollments and plummeting state support, community colleges are grateful for the higher profile but disappointed that funding has yet to materialize to help them keep up with demand, let alone meet the Obama administration's goal to make the U.S. the global leader in college graduates again by 2020. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli)AP - Politicians and policymakers are lavishing unprecedented attention on community colleges, promoting them as engines to train workers in the recession and boost the country's college graduation rates.
