Over the past few years, Republican state lawmakers have introduced more than 150 bills in 35 states that seek to curb academic freedom on campus. Twenty-one of these bills have been signed into law. #Academia#HigherEd#Colleges
If you are an #educator, you may have spent recent weeks grappling with your position with respect to #student#NonviolentResistance. You’re not alone, and in this moment, perhaps it is helpful to identify ways #teachers & staff at #schools, #colleges & #universities have supported students engaged in nonviolent #CivilResistance. Below, I will share a range of options, progressing from familiar #faculty roles to those with greater proximity to student #NonviolentAction.
Students continue to protest at campuses across the country, despite the risk of arrest. Some schools now threaten demonstrators with disciplinary action, while others promise the opposite.
Speaking as a #Chicagoan who has seen this mess before, please remember that the whole world is watching. The whole world is watching. The whole world is watching. The whole world is watching.

Canada's international student spike was blamed on private colleges. Here's what really happened | CBC News
“what has been framed as a nationwide explosion in international student numbers — prompting Ottawa to impose an immediate two-year cap — is disproportionately linked to a handful of schools, the vast bulk of them public institutions, predominantly in Ontario.” #Education#Students#Colleges#Universities#Canada
Amazing. And the college is a liberal-arts college.
"What’s unusual too is the diversity of the students who operate the reactor.
Virtually all Reed students receive their reactor operator licences before they are legally permitted to drink (21 in Oregon) and many before they have even learned to drive a car."
I really gotta wonder, how schools but more specifically #colleges and #universities, are indoctrinating #students when (in my experience) you can’t get them to follow rules of grammar, turn their work in on time, and to do the reading assignments?
What Republicans really want from #colleges#highereducation—well some of this blew my mind. I thought Republicans don’t like taxes. But they’d sure tax #university endowments if they could.
This week's congressional hearing illustrated the increasingly perilous road higher education institutions have been on
Stefanik, whose grilling of top university presidents this week became a viral moment, wants to take a deeper look at sources of funding as well as how diversity, equity and inclusion offices function and their treatment of #Jewish students.
Attal ressort le grand jeu ce matin pour évoquer des mesures censées remonter le niveau des élèves, qui "ne cesse de baisser". Les pistes ont déjà fuité dans Le Parisien: retour au redoublement (inefficace et stigmatisant selon la communauté éducative), "mettre le paquet sur les maths (air connu), ou la généralisation des groupes de niveaux au collège. "Le ministre veut se confronter aux enseignants", selon un proche. Il cherche la bagarre?
Finally, one of the #billionaires threatening to end donations to #colleges and threatening college students due to #antisemitism has spoken about #Elon Musk. And the billionaire is defending Elon. #Israel#Gaza
#Virginia Lawmaker Calls for Commission to Study State Universities’ History of Uprooting #Black Communities
In response to our reporting with the Virginia Center for Investigative Journalism, state Delegate Delores McQuinn said a task force could shed light on the impact of #college expansion in Virginia.
Officials are also calling for displaced families to receive redress, from scholarships to reparations.
#Virginia Law Allows the Papers of #University Presidents to Stay Secret, Limiting Public Oversight
A provision in state law exempts college presidents’ “working papers and correspondence” from disclosure even after they step down — as we found out when we asked about one ex-president’s role in campus expansions that uprooted a Black neighborhood.
Dropping out early is one of the main concerns in online higher education, especially during the first year of a degree.

#TrickleDownEconomics holds that #taxes should be cut for the wealthiest #Americans & biggest corps, that public investments in… #education, #infrastructure & #HealthCare should be shrunk, & good #jobs shipped overseas. It has exacerbated #inequality & systemic barriers that make it harder for #Black Americans to start a business, own a home, send their children to school & retire w/dignity.
…We’re taking on housing discrimination & increasing #Black homeownership. To date, we’ve invested >$7B in historically Black #colleges & #universities to prepare students for high-growth industries. We’ve approved >$116B in #StudentLoanDebtCancellation for 3.4M #Americans so that #borrowers receive the #relief they deserve. And a new #StudentDebt repayment plan is helping Black #students & #families cut in half their total lifetime payments per dollar borrowed.
"This is a union busting tactic. All of this is. Vouchers, charter schools standardized testing, and teacher evaluation schemes were all created with two purposes in mind: destroy the teachers' unions and privatize education. The end goal was 'dismantling tax-supported public education in urban areas' (Rooks 2017).
