@maxkenner I read your piece in the NYT and have long admired your work at BPI. We conduct rigorous evaluations of social programs. I wonder if you would be interested in a conversation? Thanks.

How big is the legacy boost? Legacies are about 4x more likely to be admitted to Ivy League schools. And, yes, legacy applicants are more likely to be white. nytimes.com/2023/07/27/ups…

A study limitation: it was conducted in 1 site (San Antonio), so replication in another study & site will be important to hopefully confirm the result. Disclosure: My former employer, Arnold Ventures, funded the 9-yr follow-up. Here's the study report: economicmobilitycorp.org/eleven-year-ga… 5/5

Another especially promising RCT finding of past 18 months: @EconMobility's study of @ProjectQUESTInc occupational training of low-income adults for well-paying healthcare jobs. Quick take: High-quality RCT finds sizable long-term earnings gains (15-20%, or about $5,000/year).1/5

Unreal. $386 million was approved by Congress to train veterans for high-paying jobs. A flood of for-profit training companies saw an opportunity. Sadly, just 397 veterans have landed jobs. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
