There's a checkpoint on just about every corner within the village. The department of correction is doing most of the checking in the village and the state police are on the outskirts of the village.

I don't know what that is except a recipe for cementing income inequality in this country rather than relieving it.

the polite way of saying it, I guess, is the way Dr. Scott-Clayton has said. College attainment is increasingly becoming less equal

That doesn't seem fair to me.

If you've got that evidence, I'd love to see it.

Because while the purchasing power in this country for things like television sets and bicycles and other things has grown dramatically, the percent of your income that you're going to have to spend just to hang on in college is…

if you're poor and you're smart, you have about a 10 percent chance still to graduate from college. If you're rich and you're stupid, you have a 90 percent chance

our system of higher education--and I would say combined with our system of K-12 education--is conspiring to compound income inequality in this country rather than relieve income inequality in this country

We are in a global economy today that is requiring that if you want to live in a middle class family, you need some attainment north of a high school education.

The purchasing power that's needed to afford an average college today is dramatically higher than it was 30 years ago or 40 years ago.
