With the earlier article, this is also in lieu of affirmative action and education.
This one focuses more on social inequality in general population in higher education.
In the article, they mention that it's not just about going to any college; going to elite schools is almost like inheritance and that is part of the reason the population rate of students from poorer half the country has not risen in the last 10 years.
After reading the article, I looked further into aid programs that support and raises awareness of possibility of students from lower income class going to elite colleges for little money. The statistics of race of students in those programs were also interesting to look because they were very two races heavy.( http://www.abetterchance.org/abetterchance.aspx?pgID=970)
