Textul de pe ultima copertă
“Indispensable reading for anyone who wants to think more deeply, practically, democratically, and constructively with students and teachers about how to repair the Wasteland by reclaiming public higher education in the United States.”
—Mary G. Dietz, Northwestern University, USA
“At a time when universities across the nation are centrally concerned with issues of diversity and inclusion as well as student success, Saving Public Higher Education offers ground-breaking insights and guidance. Organized around eleven inspiring and heart-breaking voices, this book lays bare so many fault-lines in our national discourse on race and educational opportunity, and also points to positive ways to address the nation’s challenges.”
—Joan Burton, University of Maryland, USA

In this book, eleven recent college graduates describe in vivid detail their journeys from racially segregated, underfunded public schools to a state university, and the obstacles they encountered along the way. Chapters highlight personal accounts of poverty, violence, and bullying in childhood, the persistence of racism on the university campus and the inability of faculty and administrators to combat it. Overcoming all-too-common barriers, these eleven students persevered, earned their degrees and continued on to graduate school and professional careers. The authors conclude the book with policy proposals that not only address the issues raised by the students, but that would also restore public education to its original role as an engine of opportunity and driver of democracy.
