neat parable
CUNY does not appear alongside Harvard and Stanford on lists of America's top colleges, but its recent transformation offers a neat parable of meritocracy revisited.
Could you tell me what the writer want to express or rewrite this sentence in a more comprehensive way?
PS: I rewrote the sentence here:
The implication within the transformation of CUNY make the elite education system looking back to it and deliberating on it.

So "neat parable" means "a good example"? But I still can't get the point of the context, especially the phrase "meritocracy revisited". How can you translate such a short phrase into a long sentence? Could you show your train of thought?

rpsh How can you translate such a short phrase into a long sentence? Could you show your train of thought?No, not really. Did you look up 'meritocracy'? I don't know the significance of 'revisited' there, so I omitted the concept in my paraphrase. Perhaps it refers to ear

This is the original link. In the article, CUNY just embarked on its legendary voyage, so I think it does't refer to its earlier greatness. Could you re-paraphrase this sentence after reading the context? Thank you so much!
