Lower Ed: The Troubling Rise of For-Profit Colleges in the New Economy by Tressie McMillan Cottom

4.0

Her experience and analysis of it is interesting - but the (predictably, leftist) politics are heavy-handed and lacking internal consistency. The BLM and socialism lenses are overused, as is the word "inequality." As other reviews have said, this is her PhD dissertation revised into a book, which is fine, though it really could have done with more editing. Scrapes by with four stars for telling interesting and rarely-heard stories about the people who go to for-profit colleges.
