“In their report, ‘Mobility Report Cards: The Role of Colleges in Intergenerational Mobility,’ five researchers measured how many students were able to jump from the lowest income bracket (bottom 20 percent) to the top bracket (highest 20 percent) about a decade after graduating from college. They published their report for The Equality of Opportunity Project, a group of economists looking for ways to address chronic poverty. This latest report is an effort to show which colleges help the most children advance in income and suggests policymakers at the federal, state, and college levels use the data to reassess their priorities.”
