College Sports Stares Down Its Doomsday Scenario

College Sports Stares Down Its Doomsday Scenario

March 08, 2024

It was clear how a vote by Dartmouth’s basketball team on unionizing would go from the moment players arrived to cast their ballots. Most of the 15-member roster walked over together, then stopped to pose with their arms wrapped around each other and a placard bearing the name of the Service Employees International Union.
Their decision to join SEIU Local 560 was immediately challenged by the school, which has begun to appeal the interpretation from the National Labor Relations Board that the basketball team are workers who should be able to collectively bargain their conditions of employment. But the greatest obstacle to the Big Green claiming they ended amateurism as we know it isn’t that their decision is rejected by the courts. It’s that someone else beats them to it.

Jewish, Muslim Students Fear Their Views Put Them in Danger

Jewish, Muslim Students Fear Their Views Put Them in Danger

March 08, 2024

More than half of Jewish and Muslim students, and a fifth of all college students, feel unsafe on campus because of their stances on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to a new report from the University of Chicago Project on Security and Threats, a nonpartisan research center on international politics and security. The report explores students’ fears and beliefs in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel and Israel’s ongoing assault on the Gaza Strip. The findings are based on national surveys of 5,000 students attending at least 600 four-year colleges and universities and 5,000 adults in the U.S. between December 2023 and January 2024.

Negotiators Fail to Bridge ‘Gulf’ on Reciprocity Changes

Negotiators Fail to Bridge ‘Gulf’ on Reciprocity Changes

March 08, 2024

The Biden administration can now move forward with its plans to give states greater authority over online programs after an advisory rule-making committee rejected a compromise proposal Thursday. The Education Department said last week that it wants to change the terms of state authorization reciprocity agreements to give state regulators more authority to enforce their own laws on out-of-state institutions that enroll their residents. Currently, reciprocity agreements allow colleges to enroll out-of-state students online without getting direct approvals from the individual states—and they exempt institutions from some laws in the states where the students are located.

College Students Love Sidechat. Colleges, Not So Much.

College Students Love Sidechat. Colleges, Not So Much.

March 08, 2024

College students love social media. But one app especially strikes their fancy. It's called Sidechat and it lets them gossip anonymously about all the latest campus drama. All they have to do is fork over their school email address. Colleges, on the other hand, don’t love Sidechat so much. And members of Congress are increasingly alarmed by its content.
