It’s no secret that our institutions face a national crisis of college readiness.

Each semester, large numbers of students arrive on our campuses unprepared for the rigors of college-level work. In addition to the financial and emotional burdens that accompany the reality of testing into developmental courses is an uphill struggle to degree completion that too many of our students face from day one.
