| Jayla Moody Marshall, Diverse Issues in Higher Education SHARE: Facebook • LinkedIn Despite years of chronic underfunding, Historically Black Colleges and Universities are engines of economic opportunity for an array of students—many from underserved communities.

| Michael Horn and Jeff Selingo, Future U SHARE: Facebook • LinkedIn It's become a common question in the higher education community: How will artificial intelligence transform teaching and learning? In this interview, bestselling author and professor of computer science at Georgetown University, Cal Newport, discusses AI’s academic and operational implications, its ethical and practical considerations, and the stages and timeline over which college leaders, professors, students, and others can expect this technological transformation to unfold. |
| Jessica Blake, Inside Higher Ed SHARE: Facebook • LinkedIn Current formulas for awarding federal student financial aid are based primarily on income and don’t fully account for wealth inequality, especially by race. Students from low-income and low-wealth families—who are disproportionately Black and Latino—often have to take out more student loans to attend college. New research argues that a supplemental Wealth-Based Pell Grant will help eliminate racial disparities in student loan borrowing and make debt-free college a reality for many more students. |

Against this backdrop, some colleges are offering new courses designed to help students both academically and in terms of their well-being. Can such courses actually help students study more effectively and navigate college successfully? Several professors weigh in. |

Many states have banned or tried to implement anti-DEI legislation, while others are applying pressure to college officials through intensive reviews. In some cases, college leaders are preemptively winding down DEI initiatives ahead of potential changes in laws. Here's a round-up of the most recent rollbacks to DEI on college campuses. |
| Briana Mendez-Padilla, CalMatters SHARE: Facebook • LinkedIn From 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., a nondescript parking lot at Long Beach City College serves as much more than just a place to park. The lot is a designated area for Long Beach City College’s Safe Parking Program, an initiative from the college’s Basic Needs Center that offers safe overnight parking for students and connects them to resources like showers and Wi-Fi. The program was created to address a particular student demographic: homeless students living in their cars. |
