Ideas Podcast | Achieving college success for vulnerable students
Listen in to the Ideas Podcast with Anthony Jack who discusses the entrenched inequities that harm our most vulnerable students and what colleges can do to help them excel.
Elite colleges are boasting unprecedented numbers with respect to diversity, with some schools admitting their first majority-minority classes. But when the twin pandemics of COVID-19 and racial unrest gripped the world, schools scrambled to figure out what to do with the diversity they so fervently recruited. And disadvantaged students suffered. Class Dismissed exposes how woefully unprepared colleges were to support these students and shares their stories of how they were left to weather the storm alone and unprotected.
