Ep. 177 - Nov. 6, 2019 - Paul Tough and The Years That Matter Most

Paul Tough, author of "The Years That Matter Most: How College Makes or Breaks Us," sits down with EdNext Editor-in-chief Marty West to discuss the book, and how the higher education admissions process tends to work to the benefit of affluent students at the expense of those from lower-income backgrounds. Matthew Chingos recently reviewed the book for Education Next in "Privilege Worth Perpetuating." https://www.educationnext.org/privilege-worth-perpetuating-book-review-the-years-that-matter-most-tough/
