BC Film Series
The Berkeley Carroll
Film Series presents
IVORY TOWER
Save the date: Wednesday
November 19, 2014 @ 7:00 pm
181 Lincoln Place, Performance Space
Including Q&A after the film with the filmmakers and BC parents Andrew Rossi (director) and Kate Novack (producer). They will be joined in conversation with BC parent Nancy Rosenthal (Nurse Nancy) and BC Alum Chandler Rosenthal (BC 2010, Yale 2014).
As tuition rates spiral beyond reach and student loan debt passes $1 trillion (more than credit card debt), IVORY TOWER asks: Is college worth the cost? From the halls of Harvard, to public colleges in financial crisis, to Silicon Valley, filmmaker Andrew Rossi (PAGE ONE: INSIDE THE NEW YORK TIMES) assembles an urgent portrait of a great American institution at the breaking point.
Through profiles at Arizona State, Cooper Union, and San Jose State -among several others-IVORY TOWER reveals how colleges in the United States, long regarded as leaders in higher education, came to embrace a business model that often promotes expansion over quality learning. But along the way we also find unique programs, from
Stanford to the free desert school Deep Springs to the historically black all women's college Spelman, where the potential for life-changing college experiences endure. Ultimately, IVORY TOWER asks, what price will society pay if higher education cannot revolutionize college as
we know it and evolve a sustainable economic model?
