- Nice Morning Edition piece summarizing the market revolution in higher ed, as it’s playing out in Texas.
- A new Florida U plans to do away with tenure altogether, replacing it with renewable contracts. (Obvi, not everyone’s psyched. The comments section is pretty interesting).
- A new U Penn report looks at the state and future of HBCUs, which have been attacked of late.
- A Brookings report tried to finally answer the “should everyone go to college” question once and for all. Judging from the response, they failed to convince everyone.
- In other news, in the wake of the Boston Bombings, student visas have become the focus of Homeland Security (even though neither suspect was on one). Unclear whether it’ll make it harder to study here, but some worry that the issue might get dragged into larger immigration debates.
