Class Dismissed

When Colleges Ignore Inequality and Students Pay the Price

Beschreibung

"A revealing account of the entrenched inequities that harm our most vulnerable students and what colleges can do to help them excel. A provocative and much-needed book, Class Dismissed paints an intimate and unflinchingly candid portrait of the challenges of undergraduate life for disadvantaged students even in elite schools that invest millions to diversify their student body. Moreover, Jack offers guidance on how to make students' path to graduation less treacherous--guidance colleges would be wise to follow."--
