HBCUs continue to conduct research and earn higher classifications, but do not recieve the same opportunities to train their doctoral students or have the best research facilities. www.theeduledger.com/institutions...

I really think that faculty need entrance and hype songs for conferences when we present papers and scholarly sessions. What would yours be?

I was recently featured in an investigative story about fraternity housing in Canada. thelocal.to/fraternities...

At this juncture, even private colleges are making excuses to backtrack from anything related to diversity. www.star-telegram.com/news/local/e...

Proposed cuts to HSI funding, if enacted, will cause further harm to underrespresented student communities who will be further pushed to the margins. azcir.org/news/2025/10...

I commend the efforts by Seton Hall, but it seems they achieved HSI status too late. They arrived to the office pizza party and all that is left is crust. www.theeduledger.com/institutions...

This was inevitable as the intention is to gut DOE, but I am unsure they have any backup plans for anything to properly function. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

We saw this coming, but I am curious which colleges opt into the compact. www.theeduledger.com/leadership-p...

I was featured on local Cleveland TV to discuss hazing prevention. www.cleveland19.com/2025/10/15/n...

This removing funding from other enrollment based MSIs is highly problematic. Many institutions use those funds for broad student success funding or other engagement initiatives which benefits students across campus. The interest convergence here is alarming. www.highereddive.com/news/mcmahon...

@dcollier74.bsky.social called this. This was a worry I had which mirrors when Louisana tried to ban Librarians from joining the American Library Association (ALA). www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

The lack of capacity, proximity, and relationships for research have disadvantaged the the historical opportunities to develop a research infrastructure that allows HBCUs to compete for major research grants. www.theeduledger.com/institutions...

Across the country, student groups and other organizations are working to fill the gaps left behind by campus centers and programs lost to a snowballing anti-DEI movement.

The hazing researchers include in this story are really amazing, but you would think they would include the Piazza Center which was founded as a response to hazing death. www.post-gazette.com/news/educati...

The 2026 Stop Campus Hazing Act is coming. How can colleges prepare? How can families talk about hazing? Our free TV bundle helps newsrooms. Check out the VOSOT, soundbite, raw video, & log with timecodes from our Q&A with @pietrosassophd.bsky.social: bit.ly/4ninMWn @delstateuniv.bsky.social

This is a cautionary tale. West Virginia eliminated their higher education administration programs several years ago as did Shepard. So, that state has 0 programs to prepare higher education administrators. www.insidehighered.com/news/busines...

For once, this is a good update to a story I previously shared about ROTC. www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-t...

Hazing should never be acceptable. Colleges do not have the capacity to consistently engage in prevention. apnews.com/article/univ...

This is unfortunate, especially because this is a nationally renowned and recognized department. West Virginia cut their higher education program too sometime ago. The entire state has no higher education/student affairs programs now.

Make no mistake, these bans are not grounded in Texas law, but rather in hateful prejudice. Angelo State University is going far beyond what new legislation requires, enforcing what some legislators unsuccessfully tried to pass.

Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has donated $70 million to the UNCF, the largest private provider of scholarships to minority students.

Why did "DIverse Issues in Education" become the "EDU Ledger?"

They will 100% villanize individual faculty or staff and probably pass additional rules like they have for corporations. However, if a white male speaks out and is racist then he will definitely get a pass. www.texastribune.org/2025/09/12/t...

Washington Post fires their last remaining Black opinion writer @karenattiah.bsky.social over the most benign comments in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder... Meanwhile Fox still has Brian Kilmeade who casually said all homeless people should be killed. Its all unfair & unbalanced. Wake up.

We must come to terms with the fact that it was a huge mistake to leave the online world largely unchecked, and that we urgently need to deal with a fragmented, radicalized and instrumentalized reality in many countries simultaneously and take action instead of remaining in shock or relativization.

Fraternity kitchens never make money. www.campustimes.org/2025/09/08/u...

The Education Department announced its intention Wednesday to end grant funding for minority-serving institutions, a move affecting hundreds of colleges that serve a disproportionate number of students from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups.

This is the definition of fascism and eliminating academic freedom. This is exactly why I left Texas. www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...

White christian nationalism continues to be a major threat to democracy. Fears of dispossesion and their belief of entitlement allign with the way in whitness seeks property. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IucG...

This is just the broad overextension of DEI suppression. mississippitoday.org/2025/09/04/m...

Again, 400 students and budget cuts. Another elite university with budget cuts. I am wondering when this wave will impact other institutions such as regional comprehensive institutions. www.fox32chicago.com/news/northwe...

400 positions and cutting more doctoral admissions is really difficult for any institution and compund that with $100 million is a lot of money. This unfortunate and disheartening for this elite university founded by William Rainey Harper. www.fox32chicago.com/news/uchicag...

This would be distasterous and would really undermine Texas Tech faculty autonomy.

Restricting an RA to college sports themes and university branding because of DEI restrictions is a inherent overreach. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eNk...

They always wanted to gut TRIO and let's be real, no federal grants are safe ever with this regime. www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

Fraternity is good for the soul and brotherhood is needed now, more than ever by college men of all identities who are academically adrift. Note: I do no like this media outlet, but this personal opinion piece I do agree with about the concept of "fraternity." www.nationalreview.com/magazine/202...

Why do fraternities still try to host concerts with concert promoters? This never works out and it still costs the chapter a lot of money. Contracting directly with the artist and their team is the best approach. statenews.com/article/2025...

I am deeply concerned about the reduction in admissions of humanities doctoral programs, particularly when we need them to lead national conversations about history and group identities such as social class or labor rights. www.insidehighered.com/news/admissi...

This just seems like click bait. Formal sorority rush is a competitive process, but students also have the opportunity to join informally through continuous open bidding in other semesters. www.newsrecord.org/opinion/opin...

I have always suggested and advocated for the elimination of deferred recruitment. There no data or implications for practice which support its efficacy. There is a theoretical assumption that is allows the students to develop new friends. gwhatchet.com/2025/08/25/f...

I have always advocated for the elimination of deferred recruitment.

This is unfortunate and unsurprising they would eliminate this program which was very influential for HBCUs and MSIs as well. www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-t...

What is happening to international students is outrageous. www.diverseeducation.com/leadership-p...

Fraternity/sorority moratoriums do not specifically extinguish organizational behaviors or facilitate changes on individual student behavior. They just drive the problems underground. www.timesfreepress.com/news/2025/au...

The purging of science grant monies will only injure and then deter future research. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I think we will continue to see more of this. However, they can pause admissions for science PhD programs too. This seems targeted. www.insidehighered.com/news/busines...

We continue to undermine promises made to student loan borrowers like me who were misguided by student loan forgiveness. www.diverseeducation.com/leadership-p...

I am confident @ibramxk.bsky.social will continue to do amazing scholarship and public engagement. I am excited to continue to use his work in my teaching for our doctoral students. www.diverseeducation.com/faculty-staf...

This has the potential to be transformative! www.diverseeducation.com/institutions...

HBCUs continue to evolve in new and exciting news. At DSU, we are growing our research and graduate programs. www.diverseeducation.com/institutions...
