The End of Equal Opportunity in Higher Education?
Hartle, Terry W.; King, Jacqueline E.
College Board Review, n181 p8-15 Jul 1997

Academic underpreparation among low-income groups, more federal student aid for the middle class, and rising tuition at state institutions threaten to worsen the situation. (MSE)
