Quadcast: Thinking beyond elite admissions with Kara Miller

On today’s Quadcast, Boston Globe correspondent Kara Miller comments on the new report by Raj Chetty, David Deming and John Friedman,  Diversifying Society’s Leaders? The Determinants and Causal Effects of Admission to Highly Selective Private Colleges, which points out the disproportionate admission of affluent students at elite colleges in comparison to students of comparable profiles with less means.  Miller questions whether the hyper focus on who gets into so few schools takes away from the broader issue of opening up more opportunities across the board.
