The studies capture range of student experiences and levels of analysis made possible through #NCES data. Topics span college prep and transition; predictors of college degree attainment and labor market outcomes; and implications of various policies.

The articles demonstrate how #NCES data support rigorous, policy-relevant scholarship across the full postsecondary pipeline. Such research in the US would be considerably more challenging without NCES data sources or in conditions in which fewer researchers have access.

Advice | Faculty Motivation in a Uniquely Demotivating Time
It’s unreasonable to expect professors to hit hurdle after hurdle and still stay in the race. Institutions are going to have to clear some obstacles.

3. Fewer physics educators and programs. 4. Students wouldn’t have great science courses at uni. 5. Research community would not exist. 6. Would lose a generations of scientists. Masterclass in connecting the personal to the political!!! @standupforscience.bsky.social

UPDATE: After DOGE/NSF froze making any new NSF awards last week, it has now resumed. Of course, this is amid the NSF director resigning yesterday, more terminations of active awards expected today, etc. But an interesting tidbit nevertheless...

Pell is facing a funding shortfall of $2.7 billion unless congress acts to shore up the programs funding. The last time this happened, post Great Recession, the cuts were devastating and some of them have never been rolled back. #EduSky www.forbes.com/sites/edward...

How Will The $2.7 Billion Pell Grant Funding Gap Impact Students?
The Pell Grant program is facing a funding gap. Cuts to the program would likely put college out of reach for many low-income students.
