| Short Description: | The report, "The Rising Price of Inequality," is the first part of a study on access and persistence that the independent committee, which advises Congress and the secretary of education, was directed to undertake as part of the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008. It builds on the committee's earlier work, including the 2006 report "Mortgaging Our Future." |
| Annotation: | The report, "The Rising Price of Inequality," is the first part of a study on access and persistence that the independent committee, which advises Congress and the secretary of education, was directed to undertake as part of the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008. It builds on the committee's earlier work, including the 2006 report "Mortgaging Our Future." The new report uses data from the Education Department's National Center for Education Statistics to examine the access and success of a subset of low- and moderate-income students who graduated from high school and appear academically qualified to attend a four-year college. If grant aid were sufficient, those students would be expected to enroll and persist at a rate similar to their higher-income peers, the report says
t builds on the committee's earlier work, including the 2006 report "Mortgaging Our Future."
