Anthony "Tony" Jack, Harvard professor and author of "The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges are Failing Disadvantaged Students" talks with ACE hosts Jon Fansmith and Lorelle Espinosa about his own experience as a poor, but privileged, student and why getting into college is not the last hurdle students like him face at elite colleges and other institutions. Jack offers unique solutions to challenges like food insecurity, social isolation, and something he calls the "hidden curriculum." Our hosts then talk about some recent higher ed news such as HBCU Week and a new report criticizing a recent fix to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.
