Exclusivity and Elite Universities

Scott acknowledges that some elite universities have become increasingly exclusive, which he sees as problematic. However, he points out that not all universities should be painted with the same brush and that there are differences among them. He agrees that Harvard's exclusivity is a concern, given its vast endowment and limited admissions. Scott believes that some universities, like the University of California, are fighting against this trend by expanding access to education and creating more on-ramps to the middle class for students who may not pursue traditional four-year degrees. He donated to his alma maters, UCLA and Berkeley, as he sees them actively working towards inclusivity and offering certification programs to help lift up young men and women with valuable skills.
