Problems with Educational Opportunities
What the Media Doesn't Tell You host, Larry Velvel, interviews Colleen O'Brien, head of The Pell Institute for the Study of Opportunity in Higher Education. The discussion centers around the lack of media portrayal of difficulties middle and lower economic class individuals have in gaining entrance to, adjusting to and financing higher education. They discuss why the media seems to focus only on the "elite" educational institutions and those who can manage to attain entrance to them.
