Which Higher Ed Cases Will SCOTUS Take On?

As the Supreme Court begins its new term this week, legal experts predict that higher education will be a frequent subject for the justices. Yet only two college-related cases-both of which center on transgender rights-are currently listed on the main docket. That's in large part because of a less formal but increasingly popular second list of cases known as the shadow docket. Historically, the shadow docket, also called the emergency docket, was used on rare occasions for just that-emergencies.

The Massachusetts colleges and universities offering free tuition for undergraduates

As college tuitions rise closer to $100,000 a year, both private and public Massachusetts colleges have made free tuition available to students with household incomes under amounts that range from $75,000 to $200,000. Due to the increase in financial aid, out-of-pocket costs have recently gone down nationwide, according to research from College Board. Many Mass. colleges offering free tuition to applicants under a certain household income have been announced over the past couple years, and have become available for students this fall 2025.

At Harvey Mudd, team teaching has been a distinguishing facet of the student experience for decades; most general education STEM courses for incoming students are taught by two or more professors.

As a college student, studying can be difficult and lonely. ChatGPT has become my go-to study buddy.

Last year, I began my first year of college. Like many first-year university students, I was excited about the opportunity to socialize, explore a new environment, and engage in campus life. That meant hanging out with friends in the dining hall, going out on weekends, and taking advantage of the university social environment. But things changed around exam season. With final exams sometimes accounting for more than 40% of my grade, my priorities shifted quickly.

Stop Labeling Students "First-Gen" (opinion)

One way to pursue this goal is to consider the role played by first-generation student success initiatives, which continue to enjoy broad public support. In the current climate, higher ed may be forgiven a rush to establish centers or initiatives for first-generation student success, as many colleges and universities already have. But before we get to raising funds and creating logos, let's pause and consider new ways to think about and organize such efforts to best meet the moment.

Scholarship Providers Say Data-Sharing Confusion Delays Aid

The Native Forward Scholars Fund, a scholarship provider for Native American students, typically doles out aid to about 1,300 students per year through 40 different scholarship programs. But this year, those funds were delayed; students started fall classes without knowing how much scholarship money was coming their way. The holdup stemmed from a breakdown in information-sharing between scholarship providers and colleges-a by-product of changes to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

A recent survey by Sova and the Beyond Transfer Policy Advisory Board found the average college student loses credits transferring between institutions and has to repeat courses they've already completed. Some students stop out of higher education altogether because transfer is too challenging.
