Our education policy group at BU Wheelock is accepting PhD applications this cycle. I'm particularly excited about synergies with the economics department that allow our students to do "economics of education" coursework. Spread the word and e-mail me if you're interested in learning more.

I have become a bit obsessed with sitting on my back deck having the Cornell Merlin bird ID app tell me who my winged friends are nearby based on sound. I encourage folks to try it! Awesomely distracting.

I’ve decided that I feel grief. I’ve used and studied modeling methods with NCES data since 1992. That’s 33 years. I’m sorry for all of those grieving with me, especially for those who have lost their livelihoods with it. It’s just wrong.

So, a question: for those entities that hold restricted data licenses with an MOU signed w NCES, this SSO wants to know: 1) is it now a free-for-all with these data? Or 2) you should use cease and desist any analysis because there is no longer a suppression review approval mechanism?
