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.--|cProvided by publisher 650 0 College students|zUnited States|xAttitudes. 650 0 Minority college students|zUnited States|xAttitudes. 650 0 Cultural pluralism|zUnited States. 650 0 Multicultural education|zUnited States. 650 0 Minorities|xEducation (Higher)|zUnited States.
