> Perhaps universities can (are?) getting involved in that. But until we do a better job as a country/society funding these programs for all, then disparities will persist. This is actually something I was thinking about reading through these comments. These universities should focus on "giving back" type programs, I think. Something like sending their professors to underprivileged schools to speak to or involve themselves in students lives. Mentorship programs that start much earlier in a child's life could make a massive difference. The problem with programs like that is they don't provide tangible results fast enough for administrator and politicians to justify themselves.
