Description

Higher education was historically built for a narrow group of privileged students. While policies have changed over time to improve access, many institutional practices and unexamined assumptions continue to create barriers. This book examines how the current climate in higher education impacts poor and working-class populations, often leading to significant disparities in degree completion rates across different social classes. Data indicates that many institutions fail to provide the specific support required for poor and working-class students to achieve social mobility. This text explores the programs and practices needed to serve and sustain these students through their academic journeys. It provides an analysis of why current systems often fall short and what can be done to bridge the gap in student success and degree attainment.
