Requests:  0 Summary:  "Mandery--a professor at a public college that serves low- and middle-income students--contrasts the lip service paid to "opportunity" by so many elite colleges and universities with schools that actually walk the walk. Weaving in shocking data and captivating interviews with students and administrators alike, Poison Ivy also synthesizes fascinating insider information on everything from how students are evaluated, unfair tax breaks, and questionable fundraising practices to suburban rituals, testing, tutoring, tuition schemes, and more. This bold, provocative indictment of America's elite colleges shows us what's at stake in a faulty system--and what will be possible if we muster the collective will to transform it."-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 378.73 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 378.73 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 378.73 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList
