   Such generalizations are rampant in the media, according to Janice Albert, an instructor at Chabot College in Hayward, Calif., who chaired the 11-member Committee on the Public Image of the Two-Year College, which unanimously chose the winners. From newspaper articles that go to great lengths to list the details of a person's academic background, only to add they also attended an unnamed community college, to efforts by public figures and celebrities to hide their experiences at two-year institutions, Albert said the rebuffs are widespread. "It is time to bring recognition to the students, communities, and teachers connected with two-year colleges, who are vastly underrated and unfairly maligned in the press," Albert said. "By creating the TYCA Fame and TYCA Shame awards, we wanted to give our two-year teachers something to be proud of and a reason to laugh off the crazy insults we are exposed to." Albert and her colleagues on the committee, which was established in 1997 with the creation of TYCA, have been collecting examples of the good, the bad and the downright ugly in the hopes of raising awareness of the continuous rebuffs. "It is common practice in print that junior colleges are never named, even when high schools or other colleges are named specifically," Albert said.
