The real problem with elite-college admissions
Su questo episodio
<p>The Supreme Court is expected to soon hand down a ruling in <em>Students for Fair Admissions </em>v.<em> Harvard</em>, a case that could end affirmative action in college admissions. But professor Evan Mandery says we’re talking about the wrong issue. In his new book, <a href="https://apple.news/ANT7zMyUpTxiGvKjQoSf4Kw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Poison Ivy: How Elite Colleges Divide Us</em></a>, Mandery explains how top schools disproportionately favor wealthy white students — and why that’s dangerous. Mandery spoke with <a href="https://apple.news/T9rjlxm95TtTn3RWUl4SFiw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Apple News In Conversation</em></a> host Shumita Basu about the problem with elite colleges today and how to make them better.</p>
