[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes it feels like these elite institutions could simply reserve 25% of their spots for low-SES students and leave the remaining 75% for everyone else—without all the extra theatrics—focusing on academics for the sake of academics, rather than acting like exclusive social hubs for the wealthy. Instead, what’s happening now sends a discouraging message: you can work incredibly hard, but if your family is neither poor enough nor rich enough—the situation most students fall into—there’s no place for you. Not poor enough to inspire institutional sympathy, not wealthy enough to offer “network value.” It makes you wonder what the purpose of an elite college even is anymore.

And again, how much do these elitists want to drain the average people's time, money and energy...They work so hard to be exclusive so they can keep the wealthy 1% to themselves, and make sure the rest are poor FOEVER[/quote]

State colleges and HBCU do a better job at educating low income and lower middle clad Americans than elite colleges

Wouldn’t that create a new stigma, where it’s income DEI instead of race
