Extreme wealth stratification is occurring among institutions of higher education, says this report from The Education Trust. In 2013, roughly 3.6 percent of colleges and universities—138 in total—held 75 percent of all postsecondary endowment wealth. Yet, nearly half of these institutions are in the bottom 5 percent nationally for their enrollment of first-time, full-time Pell Grant recipients, the report says.
