Rosenberg felt that some of these messages crossed the line into bigotry. One note accused Israel of harvesting the organs of murdered Palestinians. Another, from a medical-school resident, warned of a sinister, unnamed group of people 'pulling the strings, who have orchestrated every war to ever happen, the ones who profit off of death and sickness.'

Antisemitism in higher education is a systemic problem that affects a broad swath of America's colleges and universities. The evidence demonstrates that antisemitism on campus is driven by persistent leadership failures and radical faculty and student groups that legitimize and foment antisemitism in classrooms and on campus grounds.

Dating while being in academia is difficult in a lot of ways, especially with my working style-I tend to go full throttle, for lack of a better word. So the full-on t

Known as ExStra, this is a permanent national funding programme designed to strengthen research at the nation's top universities and make them more competitive internationally. While the ExStra programme allows for up to 15 "Excellent Universities" (Exzellenzuniversitaten), only ten institutions have made the grade for the next round of funding.

A student's personal narrative of what it's like to earn a college degree while at the same time raising a child. A look back at the rich sounds and music of a New York City neighborhood, recorded by a recording artist in the 1950s. Feelings of loss and displacement among the lifelong residents of a Georgia town when their community became a popular vacation hot spot.

The sale agreement gives GW the option to maintain programs at VSTC for up to five years "while we plan thoughtfully and deliberately for the future," Granberg wrote in her message to the community. She described the move as part of a "broader strategy to strengthen GW's long-term financial health and to invest more deeply in our academic mission and community."

My reporting charts the changes the foundation has undergone since 2018, when Elizabeth Alexander, a noted poet, became its president. The nonprofit has become more and more openly political; in 2020, Alexander declared that Mellon would prioritize 'social justice in all of its grantmaking' going forward. Because Mellon is the country's largest humanities funder by several orders of magnitude, larger even than the federal government, this new direction has

Around 1.9 million people with university-level qualifications were at risk of poverty in 2025, an increase of 350,000 compared with 2022. The figures from Germany's official statistics office were released in response to a request from the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW). The rise comes as the number of graduates grew to 21 million nationwide. Yet data from the Federal Employment Agency show unemployment among academics climbed to 3.3%, up from 2.2% three years earlier.

All but 14 of the 45 universities placed under investigation for participating in the PhD Project and allegedly violating civil rights law have agreed to cease partnering with the organization, the Education Department announced Thursday.

"It got me to thinking about political lines, pendulums, they're always moving ... I kind of think that way about tenure," Republican Justin Lafferty told his subcommittee Wednesday in a brief but wide-ranging explanation for dropping the bill. According to a video of the meeting posted on the state General Assembly's website, Lafferty said tenure goes back to the 1600s or 1700s, "a time when there weren't that many highly educated folks," so "it was very important to keep the best and the brightest."

As the Class of 2026 prepares to enter the workforce this summer, they-like last year's graduates and those already in the job market-are facing what economists now call a "low hire, low fire" economy. Whether this is driven by AI or other economic factors remains hotly debated, but the causes are beside the point for new grads looking for jobs postgraduation in an economy marked by a pullback in early-career hiring.

Higher education as we know it is on the verge of becoming obsolete, Thriving in the future will come not from collecting credentials but from cultivating unique perspectives, agency, emotional awareness, and strong human bonds. I encourage young people to focus on two things: the art of connecting deeply with others, and the inner work of connecting with themselves.

During those 10 years, her students have created 63 new articles and edited 588 others, adding 332,000 words and more than 3,000 citations across pages that have collectively been viewed more than 900 million times.
