 Listen to CCRC Director Thomas Bailey's Interview on the Public Radio Show Justice TalkingBy: Thomas Bailey — Justice Talking (November 19, 2007)The college admissions process has changed significantly in recent years, particularly for those seeking to get into the nation’s most elite universities.

And does the increased use of private college counselors and expensive test prep courses allow some students to game the system?

CCRC Director Thomas Bailey discussed the important role of community colleges in providing access to postsecondary education.
