Community Colleges Fear Proposed Changes to Pell The House’s budget would strip Pell Grants from many part-time students. That’s bad news for community colleges.

The Trump admin's attacks on higher education aren't just restricted to elite universities. Their choice to reduce the max Pell amount and make it impossible for part-time students to receive aid is abstruse. Crazy attack on CCs and all of the good they do. www.insidehighered.com/news/institu...

New from me and former colleagues at Aspen and CCRC: the second edition of the Transfer Playbook! We learned from practitioners nationwide over two years of fieldwork to identify the transfer practices that best position students to graduate with a bachelor's degree.

Mayor Muriel Bowser turns to Trump for help with DC’s economy, but I argue that lasting growth will come from looking inward rather than to the federal government. Full piece here: www.newamerica.org/the-thread/m...
