View this email in your browser Insights, analysis and must reads from CNN's Fareed Zakaria and the Global Public Square team, compiled by Global Briefing editor Chris Good   Dec. 29, 2019 On Today's Show On CNN at 10 a.m. ET:   Today, CNN will air Fareed's most recent special report, Scheme and Scandal: Inside the College Admissions Crisis.   The American dream became a criminal conspiracy in the bribery scandal that made national headlines, but Fareed goes beyond it to survey the landscape of America's college-admissions system—including the myriad ways in which it can advantage the wealthy, from high-priced counseling services to legacy admissions to the side door of athletics.   Fareed looks at the history of legacy admissions and the SAT (both born at Harvard, the former as a way to keep Jewish applicants out), private counseling and test-prep packages that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and one school that does things differently: Kentucky's Berea College, where education is free and only low-income students are admitted.   Interviewed in the special are journalist and author Malcolm Gladwell; Daniel Golden, author of The Price of Admission; Allen Koh, CEO of Cardinal Education; Nicholas Lemann, former Columbia Journalism dean and author of The Big Test; and Daniel Markovits, author of The Meritocracy Trap. unsubscribe from this list Copyright © 2019 Cable News Network, Inc.
