Liz Willen Dear reader,
Greetings from Los Angeles, where I’m at a conference listening to ([link removed]) earnest, thought-provoking discussions on the enrollment crisis in higher education, a topic we’ve been writing about for years at The Hechinger Report, and one made worse by the pandemic, demographic shifts and changing attitudes about college. There’s also much discussion of the potential impact of the upcoming Supreme Court decision on the use of race ([link removed]) in college admissions, another area we are exploring.
As colleges fret about selection and dwindling incoming classes, there are vast segments of the population whose lives can be transformed by the pursuit of a college degree, including an estimated 767,000 incarcerated Americans who will soon be able to apply for Pell grants to pursue a credential or a degree through an in-prison education program. Check out our story, also published in The Nation, on how California State University, Fullerton, is making the path through college smoother for formerly incarcerated students ([link removed]) by investing in supportive housing designed specifically for them.
Also this week, we shed some light on the many confusing and sometimes contradictory studies on the long-term value ([link removed]) of preschool, and hear more views ([link removed]) on the newly sanitized AP African American studies exam. As always, we want to hear your thoughts and ideas, and here’s my weekly reminder to sign up for our free newsletters ([link removed]) !
