"Their insistence on seeing the college as it used to be, rather than as it is, has not helped Mechanicsville — in fact, it has harmed the community. What keeps them holding on? Why won’t they pull the plug?"

For nearly 30 years, Knoxville College has been open without accreditation. Its buildings sit abandoned and dead bodies have been found on the campus.
Still, alumni are determined to revive the college to its former glory.

When I was covering higher ed in Knoxville, I lost track of how many times Knoxville College announced a new president, plan for restoring buildings or a plan for reopening.

Dikembe Mutombo IS the reason why I became a Nuggets fan. They are my hometown team but he is the player who made me care! This image is etched in my memory for life!!
He made my first generation self and my African parents to so proud.
What a loss. 💔

Pro-Palestinian activists at UMich are trying a new tactic to pressure the u to divest from Israel - getting elected to run the student government and refusing to disburse money to student groups until the university meets their demands. chronicle.com/article/divest…

Months ago, I started reading a newsletter about the dysfunctions of Pomona's English department.

FAMU’s interim president demanded the resignation of key members of his cabinet, effective immediately.
The call comes less than a week after a report found negligence in how the university handled a botched $237-million donation.

VA’s gov and house speaker are going back and forth on Lindsay Burke’s GMU board seat.
My story from last month revealing the ties between Project 2025 and the board:

Inbox: House Speaker @DonScott757 writes to @GovernorVA urging him to remove Dr. Lindsey Burke - who authored the education chapter of Project 2025’s mandate for leadership - from George Mason University’s Board of Visitors. Youngkin writes back that he won’t.

Is Howard University coconut-pilled? The short answer is “maybe.”
Here’s why the university must delicately balance supporting its alumna and avoiding partisan political statements:
