It's got it all. Not only is it from the hated New York Times but the article is titled "Why You Can't Catch Up".

Not sure that study says what it thinks it says. The cohort of people going to Yale or Johns Hopkins is very different from the cohort of people going to tier 4 schools, in ways that have nothing at all to do with the name on their diploma. The inability to catch up has nothing to do with whether the college has given you the "tools" you need. In reality, for almost all people, those tools are there (or not there) way before they went to college.
