Most of their students are lower-income, and many are trying to become the first member of their family to earn a college degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you spend time on any of these campuses, you are likely to come away feeling inspired. The students have often endured hardship \u2014 like a dysfunctional high school, an abusive relationship or wartime military service \u2014 and figured out how to keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may also notice something else: The colleges trying to educate these students are doing so on a shoestring budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">West Kentucky spends $7,200 annually per student on education \u2014 money that needs to cover the salaries of professors and support staff, as well as labs and other educational resources. Alcorn State (in Mississippi) and Santa Fe (in Florida) each spend less than $14,000. So does Borough of Manhattan Community College, in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to guess how much money Ivy League colleges spend on education per student each year? About $100,000 on average, according to a report by Third Way. Elite public universities often spend more than $30,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These funding gaps exacerbate both economic and racial inequality. \u201cThe dollars don\u2019t go to the people who truly need it,\u201d Jeff Strohl, of Georgetown University\u2019s Center on Education and the Workforce, told me. Without enough resources, working-class colleges tend to have low graduation rates. Many of their students struggle to find good-paying jobs and to repay their college loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/12\/18\/briefing\/moderna-vaccine-biden-deb-haaland-hacking.html?searchResultPosition=2\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/12\/18\/briefing\/moderna-vaccine-biden-deb-haaland-hacking.html?searchResultPosition=2\" target=\"_blank\">Lire la Suite:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/0knfQ70wLgqEERehzs9igs\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New-York Times-The Morning The least for those who need it most Alcorn State University, Santa Fe College and West Kentucky Community and Technical College are all working-class colleges.
