"Readers will finish the piece with a better understanding of social trends in parts of Oregon that might otherwise be overlooked, but they also gain a sense of the generational ambivalence toward higher education that has taken hold far beyond the Pacific Northwest."

If you're waiting on pins and needles for the result of the @bynum4thewin v. @RepLCD race... keep waiting. The 5:30 update has the count holding at 47.6% Bynum, 45.2% LCD and lots of ballots left to be counted. #orpol oregonlive.com/politics/2024…

Here are some of its secrets:
- All seniors apply to community college as a back up plan
- Every day of senior year includes 50 minutes of class with a school counselor
- Seniors prep binders full of resumes, transcripts, letters of rec they'll need for adulting

I'm so happy to finally unveil a series of stories I've been chipping away at for the last six months amazing photography by @bethnakamura.
Oregon high school graduates are opting out of higher ed. That's a problem for equity and the economy.

Today I bring you dispatches from rural Oregon, where another group has emerged as a cause for concern: boys.
Only 1/3 of rural boys went straight to college in 2019 and that rate was even lower for low-income, Latino and Indigenous graduates.
