Guest: Paul Tough
In the wake of the college admission scandal, education journalist PAUL TOUGH takes a critical look at our higher education system, who benefits, and the students it leaves behind. Tough examines how colleges continue to favor wealthy students, the problems with standardized testing, and the attempts to level the playing field for low-income and first generation students. His new book is The Years That Matter Most: How College Makes or Break Us.
