The Privileged Poor
How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students
Anthony Abraham Jack
The Privileged Poor tackles the struggles of disadvantaged students at elite colleges and how university policies and cultures can exacerbate preexisting inequalities. Despite efforts to recruit diversity, many lower-income students are left to flounder without the proper support. Drawing from interviews and personal experience, the author provides concrete advice on how these hidden disadvantages can be reduced. A necessary read for understanding how top colleges can truly be engines of opportunity.

@saragoldrickrab @tony_jack But I specifically raise that because I think Tony’s book is great but it’s not oriented around that either and that’s what you point to. – fuente2019-03-30T19:24:00.000Z
@lucillia_dawn @RodneyA_May @tony_jack If you read Tony’s book, you’ll learn about how those “choices” aren’t exactly choices...this is why I recommended it. – fuente
