GRASSROOTS ORGANIZERS FIGHTING INEQUITABLE ADMISSIONS AND CORPORATE CAREER FUNNELING AT "ELITE" COLLEGES
12 IVY-PLUS COLLEGES COLLECTIVELY HAVE OVER
$260 BILLION
IN THEIR ENDOWMENTS.
AND IT IS ALMOST ALL TAX-EXEMPT, COSTING THE TAX-PAYER OVER
$20 BILLION.
PER YEAR.
THAT'S ENOUGH TO NEARLY
DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF PELL GRANT RECIPIENTS OR PAY FOR 70 PERCENT OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION'S DEBT FORGIVENESS PLAN.
THE QUESTION IS,
ARE THEY DOING ENOUGH
TO DESERVE THIS PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT?
WE SAY
NOT EVEN CLOSE.
AND HERE'S WHY
THEIR ADMISSIONS OVERWHELMINGLY FAVOR THE WEALTHY.
THEY FUNNEL THEIR STUDENTS INTO TECH, FINANCE, AND CONSULTING.
MORE STUDENTS COME FROM FAMILIES IN THE
TOP 1%
THAN THE ENTIRE BOTTOM 50%
AT THE EXPENSE OF
SOCIAL IMPACT CAREERS,
IT'S COMMON FOR
MORE THAN 50%
OF WORKING GRADUATES TO
ENTER THESE SECTORS.
THIS EXACERBATES INEQUALITY AND DIVERTS YOUNG LEADERS AWAY FROM OUR COUNTRY'S MOST PRESSING ISSUES.
STUDENTS WANT CHANGE. CLASS ACTION EMPOWERS THEM TO MAKE IT.
