Consensus Reached on Workforce Pell, Earnings Test Looms The committee will now move on to how to hold all programs accountable, and ED officials say they plan to create a level playing field, hinting at an overhaul of gainful employment. https://bit.ly/44q7MKO #EDUSky #HigherEd #AcademicSky

Spending on administration is up 38% since 2013. MSCF faculty? Only 5%. This isn’t a funding issue—it’s a priorities issue. Invest in the people who teach Minnesota’s workforce. #FundFaculty #MSCFStrong #mnleg Pppppppppppp}#MinnesotaState

Minnesota State has already spent $300 million with millions still to come for the Workday system. The result? Missed paychecks, benefit disruption, confusion, and added burdens on the people educating Minnesota’s future workforce. #MinnStateEdu #mnleg #mscfstrong

Our colleges train Minnesota’s future workforce and fuel the state’s economy. Strong faculty = strong communities. A fair contract isn’t unreasonable—it’s essential. #MinnesotaState #mnleg #mscfstrong

As the DEI Crackdown Escalates, Faculty Choose Between Silence and Resistance While one professor says faculty are “pre-emptively censoring themselves” in response, others are defiant—while another is asking himself, “What would I be willing to lose my job for?” #HigherEd #EDUSky bit.ly/413XhLP

Anxiety over immigration enforcement on college campuses has grown following a flurry of incidents across the nation. A Trump administration order rescinded a decade-old policy protecting colleges from ICE raids. While some colleges are complying, others are pushing back. chroni.cl/4gqbmHH

You've probably heard some things about the chaos at the Minnesota Legislature: House Democrats refusing to show up, Republicans threatening not to seat a DFL representative, a senator facing burglary charges. Your questions about the Legislature, answered: minnesotareformer.com/2025/01/14/y...

Today in the Senate, DFL Leader Erin Murphy and Republican Leader Mark Johnson announced that they have reached an organizing agreement for the Senate during the temporary tie that resulted after the death of Senator Kari Dziedzic. #mnleg

I couldn’t agree with this more! “When more money goes to private colleges, fewer people receive grants, and when tuition goes up, everyone pays more.” Well said, Professor Bineham. Private school vouchers have gotten out of hand. We have to prioritize public education.
