“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.” (Harvard University Press)

Dr. Molly Hare will be the facilitator of the spring 2023 book read! Molly is the Director of the Faculty Center for Teaching Excellence at Indiana State University and is a co-chair of the programming subcommittee for LEAP Indiana.
