In Whistling Vivaldi, social psychologist Claude Steele conducts various studies around FGLI performance in universities — specifically in those harder intro courses. He finds that minority students from less privileged backgrounds are often barred from higher level professions and graduate programs because of weeder classes and the lack of support within. Students that are not FGLI and from privileged families already have preparation from better schools, tutors and strategies that work. Moreover, FGLI students tend to isolate themselves due to an institutional failure to build study skills throughout high school. Practically, it can be seen clearly that weeder courses are not equalizers. In fact, they exacerbate inequality and continue to push wealthy and privileged students to the top while putting down minority and low-income students.
