Ivory Tower is a film that shows a half century process of dismantling of the public subsidy lines to higher education students in the United States and the gradual increase in private funding that transforms new graduates in debtors even before they are workers. It makes clear the commodification style of higher education in the country as a historical process that simultaneously preaches the consumption of student devices; the relentless pursuit of social prestige and the gradual decomposition of the residential graduation model, so dear to the American educational tradition.
