By drawing attention to the persistent economic and cultural barriers that continue to thwart the equity imperative upon which the American Dream is built, Verschelden brings us closer to being able to fulfill the true promise of American higher education--that of educating for democracy. --Lynn Pasquerella, President of the Association of American Colleges and Universities Author InformationCia Verschelden has worked in higher education for over three decades.
