Experts say higher education is an industry in turmoil. The collateral damage is widespread
AMHERST, Mass. — The parking lots are mostly vacant. Locked and dark, many of the buildings are lifeless but for dying plants in dusty pots. One of the few people visible is a white-bearded man on a riding mower, tending to an empty lawn as if by habit. This is not a factory or office park abandoned by its tenants. It’s Hampshire College, a once-celebrated liberal arts school that will shut down in December. That makes it the latest in a steady stream of colleges that are closing or merging, at a rate that last year reached the equivalent of nearly…

Working American families are footing the bill for Trump’s war of choice and chaotic tariffs—meanwhile, he and his family have raked in nearly $3 billion in cash and gifts.
A grayscale image of Donald Trump in the center pointing forward, flanked by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump smiling and clapping in suits with red ties. White bold text at the top reads: "6 in 10 U.S. adults believe Trump is profiting from the presidency either unethically or illegally. How much has Trump profited?" The graphic cites an AP-NORC poll (2026) and features the Center for American Progress logo.

School vouchers are the toll roads of public education. Those with money get the fast lane; everyone else gets the potholes. Diverting public dollars to private interests isn’t freedom. It’s privatization at public expense. Keep public schools public. #StopVouchers
