Focus on the marginalized

Not sure where to put this but decided on a new thread.

There is a bit of a "uh huh, sure, what a surprise" to this, since it's a center at Georgetown producing the study, but worthwhile nonetheless for the data and analysis it adds:

Georgetown tops list of colleges with high ROI for low-income students

Noting that low-income students tend to see smaller long-term returns on their college investment than peers, a new analysis explores which types of institutions—and which individual institutions—tend to provide the greatest economic benefit.

Published by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce (CEW), the report finds that, overall, public institutions tend to offer the strongest return on investment (ROI) for low-income students, considering students’ expected 40-year earnings minus their college costs. The CEW defines low-income students as those whose families earn $30,000 or less annually, a category that includes more than one-third of all college students.

At the level of individual institutions, however, the 24 colleges and universities with the highest ROI for low-income students are private, nonprofit universities. Georgetown University tops the list; Stanford University, Harvard University, Tufts University, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology round out the top five.
