For the first time in the lifetimes of many Americans, inflation has become a legitimate concern. In the last year, the Consumer Price Index increased at a 6.2 percent clip —a rate not seen this century. Trends in inflation over the last two decades (BLS graphic).

In The Teaching Archive: A New History for Literary Study Dr. Rachel Sagner Buurma and Dr. Laura Heffernan turn to archives from the actual classrooms of major literary critics of the past century to see what the available course documents tell about the history of the teaching of literature. This approach contrasts with existing histories, such as Gerald Graff's Professing Literature , which are based on archives of published works about teaching rather than archives of teaching itself.

As learners there is new hope in credentials earned and a future to pursue. As I reflect on my time wearing both of these hats, I recognize the strength of my conviction, the hope I have stems not only from my why, which I share below, but also from the community I surround myself with — virtually or

Determining rental comps to use when valuating multifamily real estate is highly important. Especially when you're looking to add value to the asset after a renovation. Part of the process involves some sort of online membership-based software that can query all the assets in a market. Some of it is a gut feeling about whether a comp matches and some of it is an investor's knowledge of the market.

NOTE: This post was updated on February 2, 2022 to reflect substantial changes between the initial and final Carnegie data releases. Every three years, Indiana University’s Center on Postsecondary Research has updated Carnegie classifications–a key measure of prestige for some colleges that helps define peer groups. Much of the higher education community looks closely at these lists, and doesn’t hesitate to share their opinions about whether they are correctly classified.

Joanne Ricevuto , Harcum College. Laura McLaughlin , Neumann University What do you do when you are on Zoom (or whatever platform you use) during a virtual meeting? Be honest. Do you pay attention the entire time, or do you multitask by doing other work or texting a colleague to say how boring the meeting is that it should have been an email? Well, if you're not paying attention during Zoom meetings, why do we expect our students to be any different?

Upon graduation, today’s students are facing a unique problem: the job market is full of positions designated as “entry-level,” but many of those positions actually require several years’ worth of experience.
