At its best, higher education levels the playing field, providing each and every learner with a fair shake–but the reality is quite the opposite: the postsecondary landscape within the US today only magnifies existing inequities. Reams of research reveal there is a direct correlation between a student’s family income and the likelihood that s/he will enter a postsecondary program. According to the Pell Institute, “Once known for wide accessibility to and excellence within its higher education system, the U.S. now has an educational system that sorts students in ways that have profound implications for later life chances.”

Changing this requires out-of-the-box thinking to remove barriers and offer more access points to education for students across family income groups and socioeconomic status.

Cengage just announced Cengage Unlimited, a first-of-its-kind subscription that gives students access to all the company’s digital higher education materials—more than 20,000 products across 70 disciplines and more than 675 courses—for $119.99 a semester, no matter how many Cengage materials they use.
