Geography, Race, and Class: A Case Study of the Role of Geography at an Urban Public University.

De Oliver, Miguel

American Journal of Education, v106 n2 p273-301 Feb 1998

Presents a case study involving the University of Texas (San Antonio) revealing the role of geography in aggravating race and class inequities among university students. It shows that the spatial location of the school on the urban periphery contributes to various disparities in auxiliary educational costs for the very groups of students that the institution was established to serve.
