Unfortunately, despite 2½ years in the making, "The Heart of the Matter" never gets to the heart of the matter: the illiberal nature of liberal education at our leading colleges and universities.
不幸的是，尽管这份报告耗时2½年完成，但《核心问题》（"The Heart of the Matter"）从未触及问题的核心：我们顶尖大学和学院中自由教育的非自由本质。
The commission ignores that for several decades America's colleges and universities have produced graduates who don't know the content and character of liberal education and are thus deprived of its benefits.
该委员会忽视了一个事实，即几十年来，美国的大学和学院培养出来的毕业生并不了解自由教育的内容和本质，因此无法享受其带来的益处。
But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education, colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them.
但由于这类学生如果在高等教育中取得成功，最有可能在经济上取得进步，因此大学和学院几十年来一直致力于招收更多这样的学生。
And this becomes more of a problem when colleges don’t talk about the class advantages and disadvantages of different groups of students.
当大学不谈论不同学生群体在阶级上的优势和劣势时，这个问题会变得更加严重。
Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students’ educational experiences, many first-generation students lack insight about why they are struggling and do not understand how students ‘like them’ can improve.
由于美国的大学和学院很少承认社会阶级如何影响学生的教育经历，许多第一代学生缺乏对自己为何挣扎的洞察力，也不了解‘像他们这样’的学生该如何提高。
