DEAR HARRIETTE: I am supposed to reconnect with a friend I have not seen in about a year. During the pandemic, we became close, and she was one of the only people I went out to see. Then she started dating someone and began to change as their relationship progressed.
By barring the use of race in college admissions, the Supreme Court has focused attention on a critical question: Who gets into the most elite institutions of higher learning? But the current furor masks an equally important issue: Once they gain admission, how do those students afford to pay their bills and stay in school?
