What is Diversity?
They all presents their own unique voice that no one can replace
Colleges, especially pubic schools, are unable to fulfil the needs of a students
To relief financial stress, some students work and study at the same time, but
jobs are often low-wage minimum wage jobs
But this slows down college graduation process, which may in turn increase
college costs
Academic Barrier: students are the proletariats who wants to improve their
socioeconomic position, and the school is like the bourgeoisie who fails to
fulfil the fundamental funding to provide education
Resources: students are perpetuating in their own class because they cannot
afford academic support, and hence remains to stay in their socioeconomic
class
Work and Study: students slow down their graduation time or receive a lower
grade to support their financial needs.
This removes the financial barrier of tuition from low-income students and
serves a better incentive for students to go to college
College drop-outs is often because they found income more appealing than
knowledge
Final Words
One Barrier of Diversity is that low-income young adults choose work over
college. They fail to see the potential that college brings to them.
