I was devastated by FAMU but thought okay that’s Florida

But this… WE ARE A BLUE STATE

Finding Purpose Again: Launching Black At College to Empower Students and Families Empowering Black Students in the College Search: Tools and Resources to Navigate Admissions, Financial Aid, and Campus Culture

And here’s the backstory: jennthetutor.substack.com/p/finding-pu...

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.

oh cool- so that is not what I signed in my promissory note so I am so happy to hear about this change

I worked with ChatGpt to create the bracket and then made some adjustments to ensure UC colleges weren't paired up in the first round.

Have fun #collegerankingbracket

Then I remember it is #MarchMadness So here we go. I would love to see everyone create their own rankings and give rationales behind it and give information students need to make informed choices.

At first, I thought of dividing the colleges up in categories from Ben& Jerry's Costco to Telsa, Target, Walmart, McDonalds.

Recently I had a conversation with Brandon Mack , Alicia Oglesby, and @seanwhitten.bsky.social where fit and the need to have exercise additional scrutiny was discussed at length.

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.

Target takes a hit: $12.4 billion in value lost after boycott Economic blackout over company shuttering diversity commitment

Some schools climbed, some dropped, and a few barely moved. This is just the start. Check out part 1 of the findings here:

Thanks to Sean E. Whitten for helping when I texted, "I don’t know how to IPEDS good."

Reevaluating College Rankings: Black Enrollment Trends and Accountability (2019–2024) Onyx Guide to College Search©- Part I US News Rankings v. Black Degree Seeking Enrollment Rankings

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

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
