I was devastated by FAMU but thought okay that’s Florida But this… WE ARE A BLUE STATE And with Y*ungk*n’s appointments to the Board, im sick

What I’m working on over on #admissionstok

Can we submit NACAC button ideas @collegewise ? Is it time for a collab

Some students get into college & still can’t afford to go default advice Community college Scholarships (disschoalared.org) Loans there are other options Some schools are still taking apps with aid (nacacnet.org/nowavailable) Gap years with a solid plan. CC with strategy linktr.ee/jennthetutor

starting to see what is worth fighting for & Harvard has drawn the line in the sand at funding FOR INDEPENDENT graduation celebrations for Arab, Black, Indigenous,Latinx, first-generation, low-income, & Asian American, Pacific Islander, & Desi students www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Today I launch Black At College – a resource designed to empower Black students and their families in the college search process. From analyzing financial aid offers to understanding campus culture, this tool helps you make informed, empowered decisions. BlackatCollege.com

I have been talking to my historically underrepresented students about fit. Especially, my Black students. Yes, we have the rankings from US News and World report but there are colleges in the top 30 of those rankings where my students lose their light, fail to thrive, and do not have support

Do yall ever try to sleep but then remember important events in history and become concerned about being on the wrong side of what feels like a fast approaching global war and start deconstructing the parallels

Old rich man buys a car when he is chauffeured everywhere. Meanwhile, Americans can't afford housing or food and the stock market is crashing taking Americans 401ks.

It’s definitely happening

Just feeds into what I've been saying in talks and to reporters lately... The Federal Government has become an unreliable partner and I can easily see them screwing up Fin Aid (Pell and Loans) or intentionally withholding it in the fall.

Colleges are rolling back DEI, thinking it's the safe move. Target just lost $12.4 billion after a boycott. Ignoring the Black community has consequences I analyzed the U.S. News college rankings using IPEDS to see how Black degree-seeking enrollment changed from '19 to '23 📖 Blog: bit.ly/4imZfgk

It all makes sense once you realize a recession is actually a good thing for the 1%.

Me: it’s unnecessary manipulation @seanwhitten.bsky.social: well all manipulation is unnecessary #4daystilfriday #manipulationmonday

Some Native American colleges are subject to federal staffing cuts. It's an American tragedy. Alan Blinder, one of our best, with a gutting story from Kansas. Will Bill Self turn up to pay the fired hoops coach, now working as a volunteer? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/u...

Seeing Al Green being escorted from the House reminded me of the time Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert weren’t.

God dammit this report is going around without being checked. CR checked two of each product, it’s effectively statistically insignificant and essentially a self review. May as well be a concerned blogger. Give me a study published in a journal.

Yale… Yale Law School

A reminder JD Vance’s intellect and approach to life was cultivated by Yale law school Many of the people who intellectually power this administration and J*n6 were intellectually developed at the Ivy League

My sister @abigailspanberger.com popped up on YouTube which was great timing because mom was upset about the state of the kitchen so I said “your daughter is on tv” Yall this is a picture of her and not me- I know we look so similar

When people want to talk to me about the backlash against US higher ed but don't want to mention racism, this is one of the key reasons I become very annoyed (Also the data used to create this post had its contract canceled this month so are won't be able to track things like this in the future)

Living near Quantico means hearing a loud bang, checking the schedule and realizing testing will be happening from 7 am until Midnight from now until end of month and feeling grateful because if the sound is continuous for days your body will adjust and block it out better

May we all be loved as much as some of you love politicians. Amen.

You can feel the fear and panic everywhere you go

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA. The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

soon enough, the mere presence of black and latino students on campus will be illegal racial discrimination against white students www.insidehighered.com/news/diversi...

The folks who answered the phone whenever I called about FAFSA-related issues were consistently the kindest and most helpful customer service folks I've interacted with. 😡

My colleague @adamhsays.com tells the plain truth about the Trump administration's radical and perversely ahistorical attack on campus-based programs that serve students of color. www.insidehighered.com/news/diversi...

Everybody need to know!📢 Letter is saying “we are the masters, we use our tools for white supremacy, one of our tools of racial discrimination is standardized tests, go back to using masters tools or we take your money” it’s a warning & a ransom note (First saw letter from @adamhsays.com)

Thank you @seanwhitten.bsky.social for letting me know that test required has been endorsed by the facist racist administration that upholds supremacy What a win for College Board and ACT www.ed.gov/media/docume...

Shout out to everyone who voted for Y*ungk*n and let him put forth a board that approved this

The simplest solution is to just start saying President Elon and Vice President Tr*mp Tr*mps ego won’t let that go on too long - Elon will be gone

Brilliant- this is exactly what happened

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

These comments from sent to me from red note sum it up for me

I’m try to record a song on the radio with your tape deck and get mad when you get a snippet of the Dj speaking years old

I love this tik tok trend

NACAC caught a photo of myself and @jennthetutor.bsky.social talking about the Real Housewives 😂

Y’all know what I remember? When colleges had snipers on roofs directed to “oversight” of THEIR STUDENTS/FACULTY during RIGHTFUL PROTEST… And yet, tailgates are the welcomed occupation of campuses *Dora voice* How many standards do you see? *Dora pause and break 4th wall* Double! That’s right!

Gentle reminder to admissions professionals: if you don’t want applicants to take a rejection personally, please don’t call it a “personal essay” or keep asking them to write about their innermost selves so that you can try to peer into their souls.

When you realize you are the problem Me: why don’t you care enough about me to let me know about the drop @seanwh10.bsky.social: so you didn’t check your text or voicemail
