"There is certainly much to celebrate about higher education today. Many more students from all classes are getting four-year degrees and reaping their benefits. But those broad gains mask the fact that poor and working-class students have nevertheless been falling behind; for them, not having a degree remains the norm." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article reports that "almost one in three Americans in their mid-20's are college dropouts," most of them "from poor and working-class families" and examines the reasons "why so many low-income students fall from the college ranks."
