[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the subheading: “Once ladders of social mobility, universities increasingly reinforce existing wealth, fueling a backlash that helped elect [b]Donald Trump[/b].” LOL. There’s a connection between the rankings and Trump’s election? Who knew?[/quote] Obviously, it's not a direct connection. But it is fair to say that yes, there is hostility toward elite institutions that are no longer accessible to average people. For example, it is very difficult for an average student from Ohio or Michigan or Texas to even gain admission to their state flagship. That is a marked change from 30 years ago when their parents were growing up -- and yes, it breeds class and economic resentment. Increasingly people feel that the system is rigged against them. [/quote] Don't think that is true for Texas. Much easier to get into UT-Austin in-state.[/quote]
