Students in a new survey cite concerns about academic preparation, mental health and affordability. Many say college isn’t worth it. One in five high school students who say they won’t enroll in college cite their doubts about the value of college, up from 8 percent in 2019. This is a finding in a new report from EAB. The report summarizes the results of a new survey of more than 20,000 high school students—those whose college-going behaviors have been influenced by the pandemic.

The high school class of 2023 had an experience that was inevitably shaped by COVID-19. The pandemic hit when they were freshmen and many students endured over a year of remote learning, with limited access to school counseling services and extracurricular activities. Now, as the COVID cohort graduates and gets ready for higher education, a new report shows how the pandemic affected their college and career choices, both positively and negatively.

I had to take it down because ‘people’ proved incapable of reading the text above it which clearly stated it’s purpose. They insisted on trying to persuade me they had something to flog. Often these individuals, generalists, were most likely using AI to generate blog posts on some vaguely related theme.

If there’s any place that can take advantage of the higher speeds and increased frequencies that Wi-Fi 6 provides, it’s a college campus. Thousands of students need reliable Wi-Fi to take notes and study or to kick back with video games or Netflix. Meanwhile, researchers and professors use wireless for devices such as test equipment and drones, and the athletic department uses tablets during practices and games.

The vernacular definition of plagiarism is often “passing off someone else’s work as your own” or more fully, in the University of Oxford maternal guidance, “Presenting work or ideas from another source as your own, with or without consent of the original author, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement.” This later definition works better in the current climate in which generative AI assistants are being rolled out across many word-processing tools.
