title = "The cr{\`e}me de la cr{\`e}me: Stratification and accumulative advantage within us private research universities",
abstract = "This chapter examines how changing field conditions for US private research universities relate to stratification and accumulation of economic and cultural capital at a handful of elite institutions. We used latent profile analysis to identify and describe subgroups of institutions by endowment holdings and enrollment demand, and drew on descriptive data to examine how levels of resources within these subgroups changed over time. Findings indicated that by restricting seats and recruiting high-scoring students, a small number of private research institutions maintained their position, using these gains along with growth in endowment investments to leverage additional resources.",
