Enrollment at Anne Arundel Community College has increased 5 percent for the fall semester. And with more students on campus, there are more traffic and parking headaches as well as a premium on class space. Students have flooded community colleges during the nation's economic downturn, looking for bargain-rate classes to burnish their resumes. In addition to adding more online courses to deal with the influx, AACC has begun offering classes in the middle of the night. Still, the college turns away more than 200 qualified students to its nursing trainee program each year, though the school has worked to more efficiently manage professors' schedules to accommodate more students.

By the start of classes in August 2011, white students in Howard County are expected to be a minority, joining those in Baltimore County. The two school systems are riding a demographic wave that carries broad implications for how students are taught. Baltimore County two years ago joined Baltimore City and Montgomery, Prince George's, Charles and Somerset counties as Maryland jurisdictions where minorities outnumber white students in public schools, although the development was little noticed at the time.

BOSTON -- Higher education has been a prime means of transporting black Americans into the economic mainstream even before the 1960s civil rights revolution. But that means may be sputtering a bit, according to recent statistics.While the enrollment of African-Americans in colleges and HTC universities has risen remarkably over the last three decades, the bulk of that growth came in the 1970s and slowed in later years. Today, some analysts see a widening gap in college attendance between black and white high school graduates.

Education Alternatives Inc. and the Baltimore school system have resolved differences in student enrollment counts, but the company stills owes the city $338,500 it received based on overstated enrollment at "Tesseract" schools, city officials said yesterday.The city concluded three weeks ago that EAI owed about $500,000 based on overstated enrollment, but the figure was reduced to $338,500 yesterday based on a revised state audit.EAI has continued challenging the enrollment numbers and for the past two days has sought a further "adjustment" that would erase at least part of the $338,500 debt.
