The suit accuses the school’s faculty and administration of snubbing high-profile white male applicants. The 30-page complaint gets so many facts wrong that it is difficult to know where to begin. Since the plaintiffs decided to make the “high-demand, low-supply field” of tax law an example, I’d like to acknowledge one undeniably true statement: there are very few mino

The recent Gallup/Lumina Foundation poll, The State of Higher Education 2024 , underscores Americans’ growing lack of confidence in higher education. When Gallup first measured confidence in higher education in 2015, those who said they had a great deal or quite a lot of confidence were at 57%. The current survey clocks this at 36%.

Even after the exams and papers are done, students at New Hampshire’s community colleges have sometimes faced another headache: credit transfers. Across the state’s public higher education systems, not all completed courses at a community college are helpful for a given degree at a public four-year college or university. A student pursuing an engineering degree, for instance, might learn too late that the algebra-based physics course they took in community college is less useful toward their fou
For the past several years, the Dr. N. Joyce Payne Center for Social Justice (CSJ) has been bringing together crucial voices and perspectives to positively impact Black life in American society.

Over the last year, University of President C.
The fall of affirmative action and political push to close DEI offices are forcing more colleges and universities to reexamine how they can support a diverse student body without running into state compliance trouble. Lottery admissions might be a solution, a report by Acuity Insights suggests. Lottery admissions introduce an “element of randomness” into the applicant selection process.
