I think it's a worthwhile read for anyone who wants to think critically about the value of an "elite" education. It does a great job outlining the ways in which "elite" institutions perpetuate social inequalities, whether racial/ethnic or socioeconomic. I think it kind of falters, though, when it tries to justify that the solution to these inequalities is for students to study liberal arts. It's one of those "I agree with your premises but not your conclusions"-type deals for me. I think the solution is just, like, get RID of the mechanisms that allow for this perpetuation... so I'm still not sure how convincing kids to study liberal arts will help us achieve this, despite the arguments given in the book :|
