Victoria's favorite part of working with C2i:
"My favorite project so far has been on the test-optional admissions policy. It was fascinating seeing how Covid-19 and peer influence impacted the various schools and their test policies."

RISE is such an impactful program at @DavidsonCollege, and many @C2Initiative students take part in it. I’m glad RISE is finally getting the national attention it deserves.

The @UNC_System Board of Governors has voted to end DEI programs on all of its campuses. I spoke with @ReubenJones1 of Spectrum News about what that means for higher education institutions in North Carolina.
23 May 2024
NEW:
The UNC Board of Governors has voted to eliminate DEI at all of its schools across NC.
It comes after the UNC Chapel-Hill Board voted to cut diversity funding.
Earlier this week I reported on how this is part of a growing nationwide trend. @ChrisMarsicano #ncpol

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an uptick in the unionization of residence life and research employees, two groups which often include students.

This month, the @AnnenbergInst at @BrownUniversity posted a working paper on campus unionizations authored by C2i student Steve Mirabello '25, Assistant Director @Rylie_Martin_, and Founding Director @ChrisMarsicano. Check it out here: edworkingpapers.com/ai24-966

The original C2i data collection used in this study is unique in that it includes all campus employees, not just faculty. Most previous research has ignored the unionization efforts of staff such as maintenance workers, food workers, and campus security.

The study examines trends in unionization at private colleges and universities since 2007. It found that the majority of unionization elections were organized by staff (67.86%), followed by contingent faculty (~30%).

I enjoyed speaking with the good folks at @CNBC about the divestment movement on college campuses due to the Israel-Gaza conflict a few weeks ago. Here is the video that came out of that interview.

They predict that this trend may persist after the pandemic, particularly among marginalized groups. However, new data from the @NSClearinghouse show an increase in college enrollment among 21 year-olds, suggesting that gap years may have become more popular due to COVID.

This is one of many trends to keep an eye on as higher education evolves throughout the 21st century.
