Bringing Social Class to the Diversity Challenge.

Vander Putten, Jim

About Campus, v6 n5 p14-19 Nov-Dec 2001

We need, says the author, to stop pretending that class doesn't exist and begin to critically consider it as rigorously as we do race and gender. Because social class can play a significant role in explaining the college experiences of women and students of color from working-class backgrounds, it must play a significant role in defining diversity.
