Getting in is half the fight. The Privileged Poor reveals how-and why-disadvantaged students struggle at elite colleges, and points out what universities can do differently if these students are to flourish.

The Ivy Little league looks unique of it used to. University presidents and deans of entrance have opened their doors-and their coffers-to support a more diverse student body. But could it be enough merely to admit these students? In The Privileged Poor, Anthony Jack port reveals that the struggles of much less privileged learners continue longer after they’ve came on campus. Entrance, they quickly find out, is not the same as approval. This bracing and required book files how university plans and ethnicities can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why these procedures hit some students harder than others.

If we truly want our top schools to be motors of chance, university plans and campus cultures will have to change. Jack port provides concrete assistance to help universities reduce these concealed disadvantages-advice we cannot afford to disregard.
