Campus Technology: Nearly two-thirds of selective public institutions are enrolling fewer low-income students than they did in the late 1990s. At more than half of those universities (54 percent) the increase in affluent students came at the direct expense of low-income ones. That's what's revealed in the latest New America project to examine student mobility.
The authors behind "Moving on Up?" found that institutions reduced their share of students from the bottom 40 percent of income (less than $37,000 in 2013 dollars) while increasing their share from the top 20 percent (those with yearly earnings from $110,000 to more than $3 million).
