While I agree with many of the author's ideas on how campuses should be, I would like to see those things for the comfort of working class students, not the education of the upper class (that would take much more than on campus exposure). 

The focus on doing this for the upper class students and the separation of the working class from the educated (among other things in the article) reflects the same arrogance the author tries to address. There are plenty of educated working class people - educated both in and out of the campuses.  

I went to school later in life because I came from one of the poorest sectors of the working class. I graduated in the top 3% of my class, went to grad school, and became a teacher. Some of the most educated (and I mean in university subjects) people I know have not been to college. Some of the dumbest have PhDs.
