"But universities have a moral and civic duty to teach students how to consider and weigh contrary viewpoints, and how to accept differences of opinion as a healthy feature of a diverse society. Disagreement is in the nature of democracies."

Adding Cal, Stanford, SMU is the best bad idea the ACC has - Luke DeCock

https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/luke-decock/article278825809.html

- The additions make the ACC measurably worse in football, men’s basketball.
- This expansion isn’t action. It’s reaction.
- If Notre Dame favors expansion, caveat emptor.

…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).

The Nation - The Evisceration of a Public University

#Free #communitycollege would, of course, be amazing, but #subsidizing all #public #highereducation would be a larger benefit to the country, given that #public #colleges and #universities serve the largest percentage of #students nationwide.

as a former academic, i TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THIS! i was earning less money (by far) to teach than my students were earning

Since the 1970s, many #colleges & #universities have become #predatory financial giants, while mountains of student debt pile up & #academic work becomes ever more precarious. An ascendant academic #labor movement may be key to reversing these trends

Well said, Ms. Goldberg!

“Selective American #colleges tend to have more 🚺 than 🚹 applicants; to maintain something approaching a #gender balance, some have adopted lower standards for men.
In other words, it often takes deliberate intervention —
One might call it affirmative action — to create a student body in which women don’t predominate.
New College isn’t jettisoning gender ideology. It’s just adopting a different one.”
