University of California System Bans Fully Online Degrees

The 10-campus University of California system this month closed a loophole that could have let a student or department craft a stealth, fully online undergraduate degree through individually approved online courses.That loophole was closed with the approval of regulations which institute an undergraduate residency requirement.

Half of NYC students are behind in reading. Hundreds of CUNY tutors aim to change that.

Just after the school day winds down, a group of three students at Brooklyn's P.S. 40 sit in a semicircle and crack open "Looking for Lunch," an illustrated book with large print.With help from a tutor, they begin reading aloud in unison, running their fingers along words like "hungry" and "animals" as they go.
