Some students get into college & still can’t afford to go default advice Community college Scholarships (disschoalared.org) Loans there are other options Some schools are still taking apps with aid (nacacnet.org/nowavailable) Gap years with a solid plan. CC with strategy linktr.ee/jennthetutor

I have been talking to my historically underrepresented students about fit. Especially, my Black students. Yes, we have the rankings from US News and World report but there are colleges in the top 30 of those rankings where my students lose their light, fail to thrive, and do not have support

Just feeds into what I've been saying in talks and to reporters lately... The Federal Government has become an unreliable partner and I can easily see them screwing up Fin Aid (Pell and Loans) or intentionally withholding it in the fall.

Colleges are rolling back DEI, thinking it's the safe move. Target just lost $12.4 billion after a boycott. Ignoring the Black community has consequences I analyzed the U.S. News college rankings using IPEDS to see how Black degree-seeking enrollment changed from '19 to '23 📖 Blog: bit.ly/4imZfgk

God dammit this report is going around without being checked. CR checked two of each product, it’s effectively statistically insignificant and essentially a self review. May as well be a concerned blogger. Give me a study published in a journal.

A special episode of @jennthetutor.bsky.social on the “Dear Colleague” Letter and the attempt to expand white supremacy in education on Thursday, March 6 at 11:00am EST #emchat REGISTER 🔗: streamyard.com/watch/HwzJBt...
SPECIAL EPISODE
DEAR COLLEAGUE, YOU'RE A COLONIZER
MARCH 6TH
11:00 AM EST / 10:00 AM CST

On February 14, the U.S. Dept. of Education's Office for Civil Rights issued a "Dear Colleague" letter to educational institutions receiving federal funding, expanding their interpretation of the Supreme Court's affirmative action ruling that any race-based practices violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Join us on March 6th for a free virtual panel featuring experts like Alicia Oglesby (Associate Director of College Counseling and co-author of Interrupting Racism: Equity and Social Justice in School Counseling), Sean Whitten (Senior admissions and enrollment leader at SMU), Brandon (founder Brandon Mack Consulting. Former Admissions Officer at Rice), and Jennifer Jessie (Jenn the Tutor). We'll discuss the impact of the letter, debunk the legality of the threat, and provide strategies to navigate at your schools or colleges effectively.

When people want to talk to me about the backlash against US higher ed but don't want to mention racism, this is one of the key reasons I become very annoyed (Also the data used to create this post had its contract canceled this month so are won't be able to track things like this in the future)

Living near Quantico means hearing a loud bang, checking the schedule and realizing testing will be happening from 7 am until Midnight from now until end of month and feeling grateful because if the sound is continuous for days your body will adjust and block it out better

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA. The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.
