Op-Ed by David Brooks in the New York Times, October 31 2011. Brooks finds that the disparity between college grads and non-grads is much more glaring than that of the "1%" who are the focus of the Occupy Wall Street and similar movements. And he finds that this disparity is seen in small cities and towns all over America. Not only does he cite income disparity, but also family structure and things like health risks.

A program of the Greater Texas Foundation (GTF). Studying a cohort of 250,000 students who were in 9th grade in 1997, data showed that 75,000 "who graduated high school and enrolled in college left empty-handed." GTF then worked with FSG Social Impact Advisors to look at persistence and completion as they restructured their post-secondary scholarship funding. Two related reports are available on this page.
