A new book by Boston University professor Anthony Abraham Jack explores how universities regularly fail students of color.
In “Class Dismissed: When Colleges Ignore Inequality and Students Pay the Price” — out next week — we learn how inequalities in students’ lives and universities’ lack of support for these students can make college success a tall order for many.
Jack joins host Deepa Fernandes for more on his book, his findings and the students he heard from.
