Class Dismissed: When Colleges Ignore Inequality and Students Pay the Price

Anthony Abraham Jack, author of “The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students” and “Class Dismissed: When Colleges Ignore Inequality and Students Pay the Price,” explores why colleges have been unprepared to support their most vulnerable students during times of crisis and more importantly, how we can move forward. Drawing on real-life examples, he offers simple yet strategic steps to create a more equitable experience for disadvantaged students. Jack’s eye-opening talk makes one thing clear: creating an inclusive workforce begins with transforming our colleges.
