However, the institutions at which students enroll differ widely from one another. Some enjoy tremendous endowment savings and\/or collect resources via research, which then offsets the funds that students contribute. Other institutions rely heavily on student tuition payments. These schools may struggle to remain solvent, and their students often bear the lion’s share of educational costs. \u003ci\u003eUnequal Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e identifies and explains the sources of stratification that differentiate colleges and universities in the United States. Barrett J. Taylor and Brendan Cantwell use quantitative analysis to map the contours of this system. They then explain the mechanisms that sustain it and illustrate the ways in which rising institutional inequality has limited individual opportunity, especially for students of color and low-income individuals. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Unequal Higher Education\u003cbr\u003e 1          The Roots of Unequal Higher Education                  \u003cbr\u003e 2          A Field Account of Unequal Higher Education                    \u003cbr\u003e 3          Mapping Unequal Higher Education \u003cbr\u003e 4          Unequal Public Higher Education: Stratification and Drift              \u003cbr\u003e 5          Unequal Private Higher Education: Persistent Inequalities   \u003cbr\u003e 6          Unequal Higher Education and Student Opportunity                                   \u003cbr\u003e 7          Consequences of Unequal Higher Education: Student Success and Mortgaged Futures                 \u003cbr\u003e 8          Contesting Unequal Higher Education                      \u003cbr\u003e Appendix\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e Index  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52563724402968,"sku":"9780813593494","price":28.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/unequal-higher-education-wealth-status-and-student-opportunity-paperback-softback-9780813593494","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
