Puerto Rico is subject to a number of unique barriers to accessing college whether they leave the island or stay. These barriers simply don’t exist for any other US state or territory and are a direct result of its colonial relationship with the United States. It’s an issue close to my own heart and something that I’m really glad to try to emphasize in our national debate about college access along with my guests today, longtime college access professionals and current college counselors in Puerto Rico, Celeste Suris-Rosselli and DJ Meehan.
Chronicle of Higher Education reporter Fernanda Zamudio-Suarez visited the island of Puerto Rico to see how people were recovering at its most important institution of higher education, the University of Puerto Rico.
