Addressing Transportation Barriers Faced by Community College Students in New York City: An Intervention with Free MetroCards
ABSTRACT Community colleges disproportionately enroll low-income families, where many of them come from households earning under $50,000 a year. However, attending community college can still be unaffordable for these families, particularly in a city with a high cost of living. Each year, many students from the City University of New York (CUNY) struggle to cover non-tuition expenses like MetroCards or transit passes, textbooks, technology access, and/or childcare, and this could lead them to drop-out. This study examined the experiences of community college students enrolled at two CUNY community colleges. Treatment students were randomly assigned to receive free monthly MetroCards from Nov 2023 to June 2024. The experiences of treatment and control students were collected via surveys and their academic data was provided by CUNY. Survey results underscore the crucial role of public transportation, with most respondents reporting use of public transportation for school. An overwhelming 90% of them considered public transportation somewhat unaffordable or unaffordable. Treatment students also expressed appreciation for the free MetroCards. Without worrying about how to afford transportation, they could focus on their academics. When compared with control students, treatment students who picked up their free monthly MetroCards at least once during the study were more likely to persist into the Spring 2024 semester. They were also more likely to persist into the Fall 2024 semester or graduate in Summer 2024. This highlights the importance of addressing non-academic needs, such as transportation, of low-income students, which then have implications for their persistence in college.

Many students who enter community college are deemed underprepared for college-level courses and are referred to developmental (remedial) education courses to build their math, reading, or writing skills. These students often struggle in developmental courses and in college more broadly. To help them, the City University of New York (CUNY) developed CUNY Start. CUNY Start targets incoming students who are assessed as needing remediation in math, reading, and writing. The program delays college matriculation (enrollment in a degree program) for one semester and provides intensive instruction in math, reading, and writing during that semester with a prescribed instructional approach. It also provides advising, tutoring, and a weekly seminar that teaches students skills they need to succeed in college. Students pay only $75 for the program and do not use financial aid. CUNY Start’s underlying theory of change posits that students with substantial developmental course requirements are best served through an intensive model, designed to build academic preparedness and college skills before matriculation. The program’s designers hypothesize that compared with students in standard college courses (including standard developmental education courses), a higher proportion of CUNY Start students will complete developmental education and that they will do so more quickly. Because CUNY Start students spend a semester building their basic skills before matriculating, they are expected to earn fewer college credits in the short term. Over the longer term, the expectation is that CUNY Start students will have higher retention rates (that is, more of them will stay in college), higher college-level credit accumulation, and higher graduation rates. MDRC, CUNY, and the Community College Research Center at Teachers College, Columbia University, are partnering to evaluate CUNY Start using a random assignment research design, supported by a grant from the federal Institute of Education Sciences. Eligible students at four CUNY community colleges were assigned at random to the program group, whose members could participate in CUNY Start, or to the control group, whose members could receive the colleges’ standard courses and services, including standard developmental education courses. Findings in this report include: •CUNY Start was implemented as it was designed, and the contrast between the program and the colleges’ standard courses and services was substantial. •During the first semester in the study, program group students made substantially more progress through developmental education than control group students; effects were especially large in math. In contrast, during that same semester, control group students earned more college credits than program group students, as predicted by CUNY Start’s designers. •During the second semester, program group students enrolled at CUNY colleges (that is, participated in CUNY Start or enrolled in any non-CUNY Start courses as matriculated students) at a higher rate than control group students. Subsequent follow-up data will be analyzed to assess sample members’ persistence in college, college credit accumulation, and graduation rates. If CUNY Start’s short-term trade-off results in the hypothesized longer-term gains, the program will serve as an important model for serving students with substantial developmental course requirements.

Cefaclor, a new oral cephalosporin, was administered to 18 normal human volunteers in either single or multiple doses of 250 and 500 mg. Mean serum concentrations of 6.09 and 12.8 microgram/ml were achieved 1 hour after single oral doses of 250 and 500 mg, respectively. The serum concentrations declined rapidly and no drug was detected at 4 hours. Very high concentrations of cefaclor were found in urine during the first 8 hours after ingestion of the drug. Forty-three per cent of the total dose was excreted in urine during the first 8 hours. There was no accumulation of drug in serum during the multiple-dose studies.

IN 1999, the City University of New York (CUNY) abolished remedial programs in its four-year colleges and began to rely on standardized test scores as criteria both for exiting remediation and for admission to bachelor's programs. By doing that, the university has in effect eradicated its three-decade-old open admissions policy, argue CUNY watchers (Crain; Lavin; Reitano; cf. Beaky). This policy change has also sharpened the distinction between community colleges and senior colleges, and increased roadblocks on the education path from two-year college to bachelor's program within CUNY. Although senior colleges have become more selective by adopting the SAT as crucial admission requirement, community colleges remain open door institutions in the system, continuing to admit all applicants who have high school diploma or other equivalent credentials. However, students in community colleges are now required to demonstrate their competence in English and mathematics by obtaining certain minimum scores in national, state, or CUNY's standardized tests. In addition, those with 45 credits must take and pass the CUNY Proficiency Exam as a community college exit exam and the gatekeeper to the junior year (Reitano 98). So while admission to four-year program (not necessarily the students' first

Editors' Note Red Washburn and Brianne Waychoff This issue Solidão hits during a critical moment transnationally. It lands during a global pandemic, with calamitous events from Trump and Bolsonaro worldwide. However, as Arundhati Roy states, "The pandemic is a portal" (Roy 2021). This time has allowed us to reimagine life and solidarity in order to resuscitate them during social isolation. It is a clarion call to reorganize life to repair ubiquitous underemployment and unemployment, inadequate health care, inhumane incarceration, sexual harassment against women, anti-Black police violence, trans dehumanization, totalitarian regimes, environmental destruction, Indigenous genocide, and the defunding of Black, race, ethnic studies; women's, gender, and sexuality studies; and LGBTQ studies. Of particular alarm is the predicament facing Indigenous people in the Brazilian Amazon—the loss of life, culture, nature, and habitat—as a result of the climate crisis and corporate wealth. The possibilities of the portal include a recentering of marginality, for example, Black and Indigenous women's and trans people's lives and words. The gateway from one way of life to the next demands we move beyond thought to practice freedom, a revolution that begins with decolonizing our minds and curricula as well as a massive restructuring of social institutions that shifts priorities to people over profit. The guest editors of this issue, along with the writers and artists who contributed to it, address many of these topics in-depth, thereby expanding the scholarship robustly. We are grateful to the guest editors for doing this issue, the first issue to come out during our editorship. We want to thank WSQ, including the editorial board, the poetry, prose, and art editors, and editorial assistants. In particular, we want to extend a hearty thank-you the editorial assistants, Amy Iafrate, Alex Johnson, Joe Goodale, and Ivy Bryan, all of whom worked [End Page 12] tirelessly on communicating with the scholars, writers, and artists to make this issue happen. In addition, we want to extend a generous thank-you to Dána-Ain Davis, Director of the Center for the Study of Women in Society, and administrative staff Eileen Liang and Jennifer Bae for providing WSQ with internships in feminist publishing for graduate students in women's and gender studies at the City University of New York. Our partnership has significantly enriched the quality of the journal for our feminist communities across CUNY and beyond. We are greatly indebted to the Feminist Press for all its help with scheduling, copyediting, and distributing our issues, especially to Interim Executive Director Lauren Rosemary Hook and Assistant Editor Nick Whitney. We also wish to thank Associate Director of the Center for the Humanities Kendra Sullivan, as well as Jordan Lord and Sampson Starkweather for collaborating with us and building a new vision for the journal, including aiding with publicity, administrative matters, and translations for this issue. We acknowledge the support we have received from the National Women's Studies Association, namely President Kaye Wise Whitehead and Interim Executive Director Jen Ash, as well as the Community of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP). Lastly, we want to thank each other as general editors of WSQ for navigating a difficult editorial transition during austerity and doing so with feminist generosity. We are looking forward to celebrating the legacy of WSQ, its fiftieth anniversary hitting during our leadership, and creating a sustainable future for it at the City University of New York.
