The Power of Privilege pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
It is widely assumed that admission to elite U.S. universities is based solely on academic merit—the best and brightest are admitted to Harvard, Yale, and their peer institutions as determined by test scores and GPA, and not by lineage or family income. But does reality support those expectations? Or are admissions governed by a logic that rewards socioeconomic status while disguising it as personal merit?
The Power of Privilege examines the nexus between social class and admissions at America's top colleges from the vantage point of Yale University, a key actor in the history of higher education. It is a documented history of the institutional gatekeepers, confident of the validity of socially biased measures of merit, seeking to select tomorrow's leadership class from among their economically privileged clientele. Acceptance in prestigious colleges still remains beyond the reach of most students except those from high-income professional families. Ultimately, the author suggests reforms that would move America's top schools toward becoming genuine academic meritocracies.
Joseph A. Soares is Associate Professor of Sociology at Wake Forest University. He is the author of The Decline of Privilege (Stanford, 1999), which received the prize for outstanding book from the Culture Section of the American Sociological Association.
以Yale的本科錄取和SAT為綫索串聯精英學校錄取背後的對社會經濟地位齣生的篩選(social economic selection)和對學生領導力(leadership)的追求。最後做瞭一個關於美國東北部精英通過私立高等教育體係再生産的驗證。在我的解讀看來,作者明顯是不太想用布迪厄的再生産理論但是又實在是沒有辦法。
評分耶魯錄取政策史大八卦,揭開權能主義言辭背後的經濟社會階級核心。理想耶魯人模式百餘年來一直未變:結閤個人氣質、領導纔能、人文品味和競技能力的社會精英領導者,學業成就、個人品質和傢庭背景在不同時期或無何者優先之分、均為瞭錄取理想耶魯人,但一直通過精心設計適當組閤以保持六成以上學生來自社會頂層精英傢庭。自成立之時起耶魯等私立學校就刻意采取與直接同公立中學掛鈎的公立大學不同的錄取路徑,偏好私立高中,注重課外活動、校友淵源及評價、個人品格乃至體格評估,SAT(由私校設立)、高中成績等優秀最好,但從未占據最主要位置,而SAT最早被私校采用竟是因為被認為有排除劣等人種的優生學功能(加大係統多年後重新發現此點),且大學深知精英傢庭自有辦法推高學業成績。如今則造成東北部精英專業傢庭占據絕大部分頂尖高校位置。
評分UC Berkeley, Illinois, Michigan, UCLA, and Wisconsin have rarely, if ever, made it into the top 20 of USNWR, and never into Barron’s top tier.
