Students pay way too much, professors don’t get paid enough, and many community college students that aspire to go on to get a Bachelor’s degree aren’t able to.

They discuss how Tade found a school that was willing to come on board and align with his mission, the challenges of getting investors on board, and what he thinks it will take to make the higher education system more equitable.
