| Gaia: | "The extraordinary story of how Georgia State University tore up the rulebook for educating lower-income students"-- Over the past decade Georgia State University has upended the conventional wisdom that large numbers of students are doomed to fail simply because of their economic background or the color of their skin. Instead, it has harnessed the power of big data to identify and remove the obstacles that previously stopped them from graduating and completely transformed their prospects. Gumbel delivers a blow-by-blow account of a long battle to determine whether universities exist for their students or vice versa. He tells the story through the visionary leaders who overcame fierce resistance to tear up the rules of their own institution and through the many remarkable students whose resilience and determination, often against daunting odds, inspired the work at every stage. -- adapted from jacket |
