Alexander then looks beyond these trends to offer a series of distinct sc...

The Merit Myth: How Our Colleges Favor the Rich and Divide America FREE READ or DOWNLOAD The Merit Myth: How Our Colleges Favor the Rich and Divide America Colleges fiercely defend America’s deeply stratified higher education system, arguing that the most exclusive schools reward the brightest kids who have worked hard to get there. But it doesn’t actually work this way. As the recent college-admissions bribery scandal demonstrates, social inequalities and colleges’ pursuit of wealth and prestige stack the deck in favor of the children of privilege. For education scholar and critic Anthony P. Carnevale, it’s clear that colleges are not the places of aspiration and equal opportunity they claim to be. The Merit Myth  calls out our elite colleges for what they are: institutions that pay lip service to social mobility and meritocracy, while offering little of either. Through policies that exacerbate inequality, including generously funding so-called merit-based aid for already-wealthy ...

  The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students FREE READ or DOWNLOAD The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students The Ivy League looks different than it used to. 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 admit these students? In  The Privileged Poor , Anthony Jack reveals that the struggles of less privileged students continue long after they’ve arrived on campus. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This bracing and necessary book documents how university policies and cultures can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why these policies hit some students harder than others. Despite their lofty aspirations, top colleges hedge their bets by recruiting their new diversity largely from the same old sources, admitting scores of lower-income black, Latino, and white undergraduates fr...

Second, that cultural responsiveness will not flourish and succeed in schools without sustained efforts by school leaders to define and promote it.
