with Chancellor Brice W. Harris

California Community Colleges Chancellor Brice W. Harris introduces the first-of-its-kind accountability tool designed to measure student achievement and increase the number of students who earn certificates, degrees or transfer. The new online Student Success Scorecard will allow students, parents, and the public to track student outcomes at all 112 colleges, making California community colleges one of the most transparent systems of higher education in the country.
