• The Impact of Developmental Education on Community College Persistence and Vertical Transfer (2014, background): “Moreover, many argue that taxpayers are being “double billed” for teaching college students academic skills already taught at the K-12 level (Merisotis & Phipps, 2000; Saxon & Boylan, 2001).”
• Remediation in the Community College (2008, background): “…cost $118.3 million, 53% of which was paid by the state (Office of Program Policy and Government Accountability, 2006).2 Not surprisingly, state legislatures, which often pay for remediation, question the need to pay twice for academic preparation of the same skills (Merisotis & Phipps, 2000).”
• Using Multiple Measures to Make Math Placement Decisions: Implications for Access and Success in Community Colleges (2015, background): “remediation, a variety of measures are utilized to identify student skill level and college preparedness (Conley 2007; Merisotis and Phipps 2000; Porter and Polikoff 2012).”
• Competing Explanations of Undergraduate Noncompletion (2011, background): “Supporters of developmental education counter that remediation has long served a useful function and is especially important for maintaining access for disadvantaged groups (McCabe, 2000; Merisotis & Phipps, 1998, 2000).”
• Double Jeopardy: Testing the Effects of Multiple Basic Skill Deficiencies on Successful Remediation (2007, background): “The phrase ‘‘Matthew Effect,’’ coined by Merton (1968), has been extended to describe this finding among remedial students (Bahr, n.”
• Effects of Exposure to Part-time Faculty on Community College Transfer (2008, background): “Merisotis and Phipps (2000) emphasized the need to have remedial programs that assist the academic development of underprepared students.”
• Measuring Academic Readiness for College (2012, background): “For one, there is no common definition across institutions of what remedial education comprises (Merisotis & Phipps, 2000).”
