Descriere magazin:
Drawing on her personal experience as a former admissions counselor at two for-profit colleges and interviews with students, senior executives, and activists, Cottom explains the exorbitant price tags, the questionable credentials, and the lose-lose options for Americans seeking a better life. The best book yet on the complex lives and choices of for-profit students. -- The New York Times Book Review As featured on The Daily Show , NPR\'s Marketplace , and Fresh Air , the powerful, chilling tale (Carol Anderson, author of White Rage ) of higher education becoming an engine of social inequality Lower Ed is quickly becoming the definitive book on the fastest-growing sector of higher education at the turn of the twenty-first century: for-profit colleges. With sharp insight and deliberate acumen, Tressie McMillan Cottom--a sociologist who was once a recruiter at two for-profit colleges--expertly parses the fraught dynamics of this big-money industry. Drawing on more than one hundred interviews with students, employees, executives, and activists, Lower Ed details the benefits, pitfalls, and real costs of the expansion of for-profit colleges. Now with a new foreword by Stephanie Kelton, economic advisor to Bernie Sanders\'s presidential campaign, this smart and essential book cuts to the very core of our nation\'s broken social contracts and the challenges we face in our divided, unequal society.
