<p>“Colleges like Harvard are interested in attracting kids of blue collar workers not necessarily because blue collar workers are low income, but because blue collar workers’ offspring are unusual at colleges like Harvard.”</p>
<p>Assuming facts not in evidence. 
If they were “interested” in attracting kids of blue collar workers, they’ve had them. There is no shortage of intelligent, gifted blue-collar kids. There is no shortage of money at these institutions, no shortage of outreach efforts shown to be successful at other schools, and no shortage of efforts that could be made to ensure the kids succeed. If the schools were “that” interested, the kids would be there already.</p>
