章节摘录
Private colleges and universities generally do better, partly because they offer smaller classes and morepersonal attention. But when it comes to a significant graduation gap, Bowdoin has company. Nearby ColbyCollege logged an 18-point difference between white and black graduates in 2007 and 25 points in 2006.Middlebury College in Vermont, another top school, had a 19-point gap in 2007 and a 22-point gap in 2006. Themost selective private schools——Harvard, Yale, and Princeton——show almost no gap between black and whitegraduation rates. But that may have more to do with their ability to select the best students. According to datagathered by Harvard Law School professor Lani Guinier, the most selective schools are more likely to chooseblacks who have at least one immigrant parent from Africa or the Caribbean than black students who aredescendants of American slaves. "Higher education has been able to duck this issue for years, particularly the more selective schools, by sayingthe responsibility is on the individual student," says Pennington of the Gates Foundation. "If they fail, it's theirfault." Some critics blame affirmative action——students admitted with lower test scores and grades from shaky highschools often struggle at elite schools. But a bigger problem may be that poor high schools often send their studentsto colleges for which they are "undermatched": they could get into more elite, richer schools, but instead go tocommunity colleges and low-rated state schools that lack the resources to help them. Some schools out for profitcynically increase tuitions and count on student loans and federal aid to foot the bill——knowing full well that thestudents won't make it. "The school keeps the money, but the kid leaves with loads of debt and no degree and noability to get a better job. Colleges are not holding up their end," says Amy Wilkins of the Education Trust. A college education is getting ever more expensive. Since 1982 tuitions have been rising at roughly twice therate of inf ation. In 2008 the net cost of attending a four-year public university——after financial aid——equaled 28%of median family income, while a. four-year private university cost 76% of median family income. Moreand more scholarships are based on merit, not need. Poorer students are not always the best-informed consumers.Often they wind up deeply in debt or simply unable to pay after a year or two and must drop out. There once was a time when universities took pride in their dropout rates. Professors would begin the year bysaying, "Look to the right and look to the left. One of you is not going to be here by the end of the year." But sucha Darwinian spirit is beginning to give way as at least a few colleges face up to the graduation gap. At theUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison, the gap has been roughly halved over the last three years. The university haspoured resources into peer counseling to help students from inner-city schools adjust to the rigor andfaster pace of a university classroom——and also to help minority students overcome the stereotype that they are lessqualified. Wisconsin has a " aserlike focus" on building up student skills in the first three months, according to viceprovost Damon Williams. ......
