This study assessed the critical issues facing community colleges in Tennessee and measured the degree of consensus among the policy-making bodies concerning the importance of the issues. Data were collected by means of a survey questionnaire administered by telephone and mail. A composite list of critical items was compiled by arranging the mean ratings of each item for the four respondent groups. Twelve items emerged as the most critical issues. Additionally, 18 items were listed as critical by one or more groups but the combined mean scores did not meet the criteria established for criticalness. F tests were conducted to determine if significant differences existed for the four groups. The results generally indicated a consensus among the four policy-making bodies concerning the critical issues. State and national implications are discussed.
