Over the last few days, we have seen countless opinions internal and external to the HBCU community regarding the exit of Coach Prime [Deion Sanders] from Jackson State University. There have been many opinions flying across Twitter, Facebook, and even national news stations like CNN.

During the Empower Learners for the Age of AI (ELAI) conference earlier in December 2022, it became apparent to me personally that not only does Artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to revolutionize the field of education, but that it already is.

This space has been created to lend a voice to the 48,000 academic workers from the University of California system, which includes more than 19,000 members of UAW 2865 currently on strike. These folks are not the first or the last group of academic workers to strike, but their struggle may become a model (or lesson learned) for other academic union campaigns.

HBCUs are getting an admissions boost from a top-notch CRM system acquired through a nonprofit initiative to level the playing field in higher ed technology. CRM, for those who don’t know, stands for customer relationship management, and it can be critical to successful recruitment and enrollment. But due to the cost of some CRM technology, a number of HBCUs were losing ground due to their outdated admissions platforms—in fact, a few were still processing paper applications, says Cecilia M

A new study conducted by the ultra-conservative Manhattan Institute and published by the City Journal claims to prove that Critical Race Theory (CRT) is being taught in K-12 education. However, their claim is false, because they misrepresented CRT to prove their point. According to the study, evidence that CRT is being taught in school comes from recent high school graduates endorsing the following four statements: (1) “America is a systemically racist country,” (2) “white people have white priv
