To the Editor: Beverly T. Watkins’s article on transfer of community-college students to bachelor’s-degree programs seems to place the burden of blame for the transfer difficulties . . . on the two-year institutions (“Two-Year Institutions Under Pressure to Ease Transfers,” February 7). However, the experience of most community colleges is that the difficulty in transferring lies in . . . bachelor’s-degree programs’ unwillingness to accept community- college education as equal.
The real heart of transfer problems can be resolved, I believe, with increased communication at the departmental level, between faculty members at both institutions. . . . Projects involving faculty exchanges and joint departmental meetings would go a long way toward improving articulation between institutions and to easing the transfer process for the community-college student.
