The privileged poor : how elite colleges are failing disadvantaged students / Anthony Abraham Jack. by Jack, Anthony Abraham, author. Cambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, 2019. Subjects Low-income college students -- United States -- Attitudes.   Poor -- Education (Higher) -- United States.   Education, Higher -- Social aspects -- United States. ISBN:  9780674976894 (hardcover : alk. paper) : 0674976894 (hardcover : alk. paper) Description:  276 pages ; 22 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  College presidents and deans of admission have opened their doors--and their coffers--to support a more diverse student body. But is it enough just to let them in? In The Privileged Poor, Anthony Jack reveals that the struggles of less privileged students continue long after they've arrived on campus. In their first weeks they quickly learn that admission does not mean acceptance. In this bracing and necessary book, Jack documents how university policies and cultures can exacerbate preexisting inequalities, and reveals why these policies hit some students harder than others. If we truly want our top colleges to be engines of opportunity, university policies and campus cultures will have to change. Jack provides concrete advice to help schools reduce these hidden disadvantages--advice we cannot afford to ignore.--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 378.19826 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList
