A definite mix up of correlation & causation. There's no definition on disadvantaged / advantaged areas. Might be that the given figures: 72% 63%, 39% and 36%, just reflect the relative populations. Combined with the ongoing trend of people getting more educated, this might account for all of these figures. Also the article simply dismisses the size of tuitions. A tuition of say < 10000 £ / a year probably won't be a strong inequalizer. But the whole notion that Ivy league tuitions vs. no tuitions wouldn't effect the possibilities of people is foolish. The second point / infograph was more interesting though, and might bare more fruit for thought. Resources probably would be better allocated to pre uni. times.
