re: Schmidt also notes that these schools spend just 40 percent of the money for financial aid on students with a documented financial need; the bulk of it goes to students they think will enhance the college's reputation or become big donors later in life. As a result, kids from the wealthiest quarter of the country are 25 times to go to a selective college than the bottom quarter -- so, big surprise, everything about college in America today still perpetuates historical privileges.

Not exactly shocking. It's been that way for as long as I remember. Want your kid in one of the best school, just donate his way in.

NEWS: WHITE KIDS STILL MORE PRIVILEGED.

Can't wait to read what Steve has to say about this 'blasphemy'.

BTW I have been checking out who drives Prius in this town. If they are younger, its professional women in their late 20s and 30s. Otherwise, the drivers skew older.
