Somehow, economic diversity waits in line behind other priorities in #highereducation—read the article for the names of offending selective #colleges and #universities. I’m not naming names because my own public, state university isn’t doing that great of a job itself. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/09/07/magazine/duke-economic-diversity.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Guest Essay by Debra Satz and Dan Edelstein
"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).

#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.”

So, what would take to get Clemson, UNC and Florida State out of the ACC grant of rights deal before 2036?
Here's an innovative plan that would only cost about ... (in Dr. Evil's voice) ...A BILLION DOLLARS!

@maripuerta Not a bug, but a feature. They hate #HigherEducation and will destroy it if they can't turn #colleges into MAGA indoctrination centers.
