Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NPR Favorite Book of the Year Winner of the Critics’ Choice Book Award, American Educational Studies Association Winner of the Mirra Komarovsky Book Award Winner of the CEP–Mildred García Award for Exemplary Scholarship “Eye-opening...Brings home the pain and reality of on-campus poverty and puts the blame squarely on elite institutions.” —Washington Post “Jack’s investigation redirects attention from the matter of access to the matter of inclusion...His book challenges universities to support the diversity they indulge in advertising.” —New Yorker “The lesson is plain—simply admitting low-income students is just the start of a university’s obligations. Once they’re on campus, colleges must show them that they are full-fledged citizen.” —David Kirp, American Prospect “This book should be studied closely by anyone interested in improving diversity and inclusion in higher education and provides a moving call to action for us all.” —Raj Chetty, Harvard University The Ivy League looks different than it used to. College presidents and deans of admission have opened their doors—and their coffers—to support a more diverse student body. But is it enough just to admit these students? In this bracing exposé, Anthony Jack shows that many students’ struggles continue long after they’ve settled in their dorms. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This powerfully argued book documents how university policies and campus culture can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why some students are harder hit than others.

Book excerpt: Table of Contents Published by VM eBook Chapter One. In which, like most people who tell their own stories, I begin with the histories of other people. Chapter Two. My father does what most sailors do—He makes a foolish marriage, one of the consequences of which is brought to light at the end of the chapter. Chapter Three. In which my mother proves herself a tender wife, and at the same time shows her patriotism and devotion to her country. Chapter Four. In which I tell the reader all I can recollect about myself, and moreover prove the truth of the old adage “that it is a wise child who knows its own father.” Chapter Five. My father and mother meet after an absence of six years. She discovers that he is no longer a Coxswain but a Boatswain’s Mate. Chapter Six. A bright pleasant evening after a squall, in which the art of angling is introduced in a way which would have added to the knowledge of Izaac Walton himself. Chapter Seven. In which my mother gives my father a scriptural lesson. My father’s grief at parting with an old friend—He expostulates with my mother and quits the house. Chapter Eight. In which the doctor pays a visit and receives no fee; and I am obliged to work very hard to procure myself a livelihood. Chapter Nine. In which I take a cruise contrary to the received rules of navigation—On my return from a cold expedition, I meet with a cold reception. Chapter Ten. In which I narrate what I consider the most fortunate incident in my life; and Ben the Whaler confides to me a very strange history. Chapter Eleven. In which the doctor lets out some very novel modes of medical treatment, which are attended with the greatest success. Chapter Twelve. I prefer a suit to Old Nanny, and procure a new suit of clothes—The advantage of being well dressed—You may walk out with the ladies. Chapter Thirteen. I am so unfashionable as to pay my debts—Ben’s opinion as to my father’s return—the chances exemplified in the list of killed and wounded—the L’Orient blowing up, and the Royal George going down. The Loss of the Royal George. Chapter Fourteen. My father makes his appearance, having left his leg, but not his tail, behind him—My father is pensioned off by my mother as well as by his country. Chapter Fifteen. In which is proved the truth of the proverb “When your own house is made of glass, you never should be the first to throw stones.” Chapter Sixteen. Showing how Old Nanny fell sick and got well again. Chapter Seventeen. A morning concert, in which the opposition is as great as black to white. Chapter Eighteen. I get into very doubtful company—I am tempted, and, like a true son of Adam, I fall. Chapter Nineteen. I am tempted again—My pride is roused, and my course of life is changed in consequence. Chapter Twenty. Much ado about nothing; or, a specimen of modern patronage. Chapter Twenty One. A most important present is made to me; and, as it will eventually appear, the generosity of the giver is rewarded. Chapter Twenty Two. In which a story is begun and not finished, which I think the reader will regret as much as, at the time, I did. Chapter Twenty Three. “Recollect,” says the fellow, “you have thrown overboard a black tom cat!” Chapter Twenty Four. Bramble’s method of education proves very effective—he also points out a position in which you may prefer your enemies to your friends. Chapter Twenty Five. In which Bramble points out to me that singing is part of the profession of a pilot. Chapter Twenty Six. In which I go afloat, and obtain some knowledge of the English Channel. Chapter Twenty Seven. Showing the importance on board ship of a rope’s end well applied. Chapter Twenty Eight. Some little difference in the proceeds of this chapter, and my former “copper for Poor Jack, your Honour.” Chapter Twenty Nine. In which I learn the history of Old Nanny. Chapter Thirty. Strong symptoms of mutiny, which is fortunately quelled by granting a supply. Chapter Thirty One. In which my father proves he can give good advice as well as Peter Anderson. Chapter Thirty Two. In which there is a hop, skip, and a jump. Chapter Thirty Three. In which the sine qua non of all novels is, for the first time, introduced. Chapter Thirty Four. More cry than wool—Bramble would dig a pit for another and tumbles in along with him. Chapter Thirty Five. We have great hopes of not seeing the inside of a French prison, but we are disappointed. Chapter Thirty Six. With those powerful agents, fire and water, we contrive to escape from a French prison. Chapter Thirty Seven. Another escape, more fortunate than the one recorded in the preceding chapter. Chapter Thirty Eight. Which is all about love—Bramble confides to me all his acquaintance with the tender passion. Chapter Thirty Nine. In which I receive a very severe blow from a party or parties unknown. Chapter Forty. Showing the great advantages to be derived from patronage. Chapter Forty One. In which it is proved that sailors have very correct ideas as to metempsychosis. Chapter Forty Two. A heavy gale, a wreck and a rescue. Chapter Forty Three. A scene in the hospital, and a strange discovery. Chapter Forty Four. Spicer discloses strange matters. Chapter Forty Five. Spicer’s death. Chapter Forty Six. In which Mrs St. Felix refuses a splendid offer which I am duly empowered to make to her. Chapter Forty Seven. In which a new character appears upon the stage, and I play the part of a pilot on shore. Chapter Forty Eight. My sister Virginia is at last placed in a situation which is satisfactory to my mother as well as to herself. Chapter Forty Nine. My father, much to his surprise, has a bit of land to put his foot upon, and say, “This is my own.” Chapter Fifty. An adventure which at first promised to be the most unfortunate, and eventually proved the most fortunate in my life. Chapter Fifty One. Being the last chapter, the reader may pretty well guess the contents of it. Chapter Fifty Two. Finale.
