/ world today news/ On July 24, an article was published on the website of the “New York Times” in which it is said that family wealth is the basis for admission to elite American universities, and inequality in the field of education in the United States is a widespread problem.
The article also states that the universities of the so-called The Ivy League (the most prestigious institutions of higher education in the country) have always attracted children from the richest families, with the families of more than one-sixth of the students being part of the richest 1% of the US population. Children from these wealthy families are accepted into the Ivy League not because of grades, resumes, or academics, but because of family factors.
Susan Dinarski, an economist at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, commented: “The conclusion I draw from this study is that Ivy League universities do not have students from low-income families because the group simply does not want those students.”
