| Abstract: | The vast majority of student in Israeli higher education attended in one of six universities until the early 1990s. After that the situation has changed dramatically because of the establishment and accreditation of the public and private colleges alongside the veteran universities. Some scholars say that the new colleges are nothing short of a lower track that diverts working class and minority students away from the elite universities and into less profitable positions in the labour market. This article examines this claim by comparing the occupational attainment and income of university graduates with those attained by private and public college graduates. |
