Faced with fund-raising shortfalls and growing demand for student aid, a number of colleges are going back to their most generous donors and asking them to made additional gifts. For some institutions, the strategy is succeeding, but other colleges remain hesitant to ask for contributions twice in the same year.

In a bull market some colleges aggressively invested annuity gifts, but are now on the hook to continue payments to donors. Return to conservative investing may now emerge.

As it prepares to release new regulations based on last year's revisions to the Higher Education Act, the Education Department has held a series of negotiations with interested groups. The meetings produced compromises on several sticky issues, including accreditation and student loans, but department officials and stakeholders were unable to find common ground on Pell Grants and other federal programs.

President Barack Obama is looking at ways to make repayment of loans easier. And two Michigan congressmen on the House Education Committee -- Dale Kildee, D-Flint, and Pete Hoekstra, R-Holland -- say they are open to ways to help, especially given the dismal economy. But a total bailout, they said, goes too far.
Inside Higher Ed
June 1, 2009
Simply put, the Obama administration's definition of student aid is far too narrow. What is desperately needed instead is a more comprehensive view of student aid that reflects the recognition that low-income and first-generation students face multiple barriers - class, cultural, informational, academic, and social - to post secondary education, and not just a lack of funds.

As members of the Class of 2009 hang up their graduation robes, comparatively few have found jobs — even though some colleges have ramped up their career services — and many will be returning to their parents' homes. Suddenly, waiting tables seems like a good option. "The bar has been lowered," says Steven Rothberg, president of the online resource CollegeRecruiter.com. "Any job right now is a great job."
New York Times

The class of 2009 is graduating into an unusually brutal economy, which means that the commencement speakers called upon to wish these students well confront an unusually difficult challenge. Is there cheer to be found in such a cheerless time?

If scientists are smart enough to pursue the most puzzling questions of physics and the most intricate mysteries of evolution, how come so many of them can't explain their work to neighbors at a barbecue? Now some colleges, helped by groups such as the American Association for the Advancement of Science, are trying to teach scientists how to talk about their research with the public — and with policy makers.

Smith, Hampshire, and Mount Holyoke colleges are preparing to merge their public safety departments - saving money while expanding their security capabilities, according to officials. The merger, which is scheduled to take place on July 1, will consolidate the three campus security detachments while eliminating a duplication of services, according to statements released by college officials.

You don't have to leave home to take an interesting class. You don't even have to pay. Yes, the ivory tower gives something away for nothing. Determined to make its mark in cyberspace, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was the originator of this free-class approach. You get neither course credit nor feedback, and following along can require some patience. But the pluses are many: career exploration, a test of college readiness, and sheer entertainment. And, of course, no bill from the registrar.
