Some Colleges Have More Students From the Top 1 Percent Than the Bottom 60.

I think that this article very well shows how unequal the college landscape in America is. Despite frequent claims from colleges that equality and diversity has risen, the article documents that there has been no significant improvement, on the contrary, the economic equality at elite colleges actually has sunken and the 1% make up a larger share than ever.

At 38 colleges and universities in America, including five in the Ivy League – Dartmouth, Princeton, Yale, Penn and Brown – a greater number of students comes from the 1% percent than from the whole bottom 60% percent, as measured by the income of parents.
