A more efficient process is underway for filing the 2025-26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Jeremy Singer According to U.S. Secretary of Education Dr. Miguel A. Cordona, the new process is informed by conversations with and feedback from students, institutions, and other stakeholders following a challenging 2024-25 FAFSA cycle. “Thanks to the partnership of our stakeholders, we’ve developed a better implementation process for 2025-26,” said Cardona.
After the state required post-tenure reviews, roughly one-fifth of the UF professors evaluated in the first round were either found lacking, decided to leave or chose to give up research—and likely their tenure with it. At Florida State, by contrast, all professors passed muster. Post-tenure reviews aren’t a new phenomenon in higher education. The American Association of University Professors has had a stance on them going back to 1983, and in 1999 it released a report saying they should be for
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., is providing grants to its chapters in support of voter education, registration, and mobilization efforts for the 2024 U. S. election cycle.

Florida A&M University Florida A&M University The final report is out regarding the controversial $237 million donation to Florida A&M University announced May 4, and it concludes that “senior leadership at the University were deceived by, and allowed themselves to be deceived by, the Donor — Mr. Gregory Gerami.” Mishandling of the dubious gift from Gerami and the Issac Batterson 7th Family Trust may be connected to the resignation and reassignment of at least two leaders at the univ
The department says taking attendance will help ensure Title IV funds are used properly. Online-facing faculty said it will create a financial and time burden.

A new report from EdTrust suggests that state leaders should review their Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) investments to prioritize funding those programs that were successful and would most equitably benefit students. Nancy Duchesneau “Some students, including students of color, students from low-income households, or of LGBTQ+ identity, faced greater mental health challenges during the pandemic, and it’s essential that school leaders, when dealing with budget constrain
A third-party investigation of the historic donation to Florida A&M University from a mysterious donor finds the gift was worthless—and that the university’s now-resigned president pressured staff to move forward despite concerns. The largest donation Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University ever received is “fraudulent” and the donor’s valuation of the gift was “baseless,” according to a third-party investigation by Pennsylvania-based law firm Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC.

Just like those in other disciplines, we must persuade students of its value and help them cultivate ways to enhance clarity of expression and style, writes James Ball. If you want to ask someone about good writing or the latest innovation in writing instruction, you would naturally call a professor of English or composition.

For colleges and universities to keep technology running smoothly and securely, IT teams need to know what’s going on. Systems monitoring generates that information, while observability puts it to use. “The largest data stores that we manage are security monitoring logs, and there’s a lot of noise in that data. Observability lets you pull the signal out of the noise,” says University of California, San Diego CIO Vince Kellen.
As public institutions of higher education in red states across the country (and in some purple ones as well) rush to limit, and even outlaw, efforts to support diversity, equity, and inclusion on their campuses, officials in those states are simultaneously twisting themselves into pretzels as they attempt to communicate a dubious message that their actions are in no way intended to negatively impact students of color.

With pandemic-era federal stimulus money drying up, the dust is beginning to settle on private colleges’ and universities’ balance sheets. And as the demographic cliff closes in, threatening to wreak havoc starting in 2026, students should be all the wiser on which schools are in good financial health before they park their money. That’s how Forbes frames its latest analysis of nearly 900 private colleges’ finances in which more than half of all schools earned a C or wors

2U (TWOU), the online program manager for a number of elite and brand name schools has been suspended from the NASDAQ today for regulatory non-compliance. A number of law firms have also announced potential shareholder lawsuits as 2U attempts to reorganize.Their contention is that shareholders were misled by key executives of 2U.

Universities are investing heavily in attracting the adult learner, and justifiably so. The demand for undergraduate degrees is shrinking and the demographic cliff is upon us. Even without these factors, the total addressable market for adult learners—students aged 25 and over—is exponentially greater than that of undergraduate students. This creates a seemingly limitless opportunity for universities to increase revenue while navigating a changing educational landscape.

When Max Kenner met Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s wife Gwen more than a decade ago, he immediately knew he’d found an ally.
