Top-rated Massachusetts colleges scored poorly on economic mobility index, measuring assistance to low-income students
“U.S. News and World Report just released their annual list of best colleges and universities, but as the most elite schools in Massachusetts top the rankings, many of them are doing comparatively little to help low-income students earn more later in life, according to another recently-released college ranking system by left-leaning think tank Third Way. According to The Economic Mobility Index, highly-ranked schools like Harvard University, Boston University and Tufts University fall to near the bottom of the list when measured on how the proportion of low-income students they enroll along with the economic benefits they receive.”
