#College students see F-1 visas canceled in new #Trump tactic
« …school officials say the govt is quietly deleting foreign student records instead of going thru colleges, as done in the past.
Students are being ordered to leave the country with a suddenness that universities have rarely seen.
In the past, when int’l students had entry visas revoked, they could keep legal residency. »
US people who have 529s for their kids, beware. The stock market drop is destroying their balances.
I hate this timeline.
**We Need to Do Something About Student Writing**
Liza Libes
“_Most of my students, of course, are not training to create the next Great American Novel. Most of my students will continue on to secure professions in tech, medicine, law, or business. But every one of these students will benefit from good communication skills—and every one of these students is currently being failed by an education system that deemphasizes reading and writing._”

Is #College Still Worth It Economically?
Yes—but who benefits most is constantly changing
In 2023, the last year for which data is available, 25- to 34-year-olds with a bachelor’s degree earned exactly 200%—or twice as much—as people from the same cohort without one did. That’s a nice chunk of change, sure, but as more of the population earns a degree, that premium is getting smaller. In 1960 young adults with a degree saw the premium in their earning power peak at 237%.

What do you study for DUST^2? Why is this important?
"I lead the atmospheric dust transport part of DUST^2, which includes figuring out where dust is coming from, what weather conditions make it move, and how it impacts air quality where people live."

Here's an interesting way to fund universities:
https://tiereddemocraticgovernance.org/blog_details.php?blog_cat_id=18&id=47
Students get their education.
Students do not have student loans.
Universities and colleges get their money.
Universities and colleges design their syllabus as they see fit.

**The Average College Student Is Illiterate**
Hilarius Bookbinder
“_I’m not saying our students just prefer genre books or graphic novels or whatever. No, our average graduate literally could not read a serious adult novel cover-to-cover and understand what they read. They just couldn’t do it. They don’t have the desire to try, the vocabulary to grasp what they read, and most certainly not the attention span to finish._”
