broad access
By 1997, seven out of ten first-year students in the CUNY system were failing at least one remedial test in reading, writing or maths (meaning that they had not learnt it to high-school standard). A report commissioned by the city in 1999 concluded that “Central to CUNY's historic mission is a commitment to provide broad access, but its students' high drop-out rates and low graduation rates raise the question: ‘Access to what?’ ”
I think this phrase has a interconnection with the sentence "Access to what". But I can't understand the meaning of this phrase, even the sentence. Could you tell me what it means?
