About this audiobook
Just 20 percent of community college students complete a degree in the United States. Cheryl Hyman, chief of City Colleges of Chicago, is reshaping her school system not only to provide wide access to higher education, but to put students on the fastest track to relevant credentials. Hari Sreenivasan talks to Hyman, whose reforms have come with criticism for making major cuts.
