Mr. Harold O. Levy is a former chancellor of the New York City public schools.
He wrote a powerful piece in the NY Times last week saying that the gap between the numbers of rich and poor college graduates is growing.
He also wrote that he is dying of A.L.S.

With his illness lending the article extra gravitas, Mr Levy details a difficult problem and the many factors contributing to the worsening inequality.
In a group of 38 selected U.S. colleges, including five in the Ivy League, more students came from families in the top 1 percent of the income scale than from the entire bottom 60 percent.
Mr Levy and a journalist colleague prescribe many necessary, and difficult, fixes. For example, ending admission preference for the children of alumni.
At Color Accounting we believe we are pushing in the direction of educational equality.
We are committed to democratizing accounting literacy by making the skill easy and accessible to all. We advocate for the adoption of new and innovative teaching approaches. The fewer people who need to rewrite failed exams, pay for expensive tutoring - and who aim lower in their careers than they should - the better.
We are convinced that making accounting easy to learn is a step toward making education available to all who want it and deserve it.
Here’s to you, Mr Levy. Godspeed on your journey.
