In "The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students," Anthony Abraham Jack draws on years of experience as a dean to present a powerful, compelling and disturbing history of the American university.

Elite colleges are supposed to be the best of the best in terms of education, but too often they are failing students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Anthony Abraham Jack's book, "The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students" attempts to address this problem by investigating how elite institutions disproportionately reach out to privileged students and fail those without privilege. In what may be an unpopular opinion, many of these institutions would benefit from enrolling more low-income students.

The ideal situation for students is that they attend a high-quality school from the beginning of their childhood until college graduation. However, many disadvantaged students are unable to attend these types of schools because of financial difficulties. In response, elite colleges offer lower tuition rates for these students. Anthony Abraham Jack's book 'The Privileged Poor' argues that this does not allow these students to truly succeed because it denies them access to other benefits like higher quality teachers.
