By last September, the economy had taken a dive, leaving many Americans in significantly worse financial
circumstances. So it was little surprise that when the federal government presented its latest data on
student loan defaults -- which focused on a period ending in September 2008 -- the numbers showed a sharp
upturn reflecting borrowers' increased economic distress, rising to their highest level in a decade.

The student-loan industry, which learned late Friday that its loan overhaul plan would save the government
$13-billion less than legislation to end bank-based lending, got another bit of bad news on Monday when
the Education Department released its annual cohort default rates.

Nearly 400 colleges are expected to submit their climate action plans this week, a major step in the
American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment. The heavily detailed reports, which took
colleges many months to produce, map out strategies for limiting emissions for decades to come. But the
hard work has just started.

This is the last semester in which college students can be inundated with credit- card offers on campus
before new federal rules restricting the practice take effect in February. Yet card issuers are running the
gamut, some beefing up pitches to snag the last batch of students while others back away because of a
soured economy, according to consumer advocates and credit experts.

Harvard University today announced a new doctoral program in educational leadership that, in partnership
with prominent organizations pushing for change in elementary and secondary schools, will seek to train

In one study of four residence halls at the University of Colorado, two of the dorms had hand sanitizer
dispensers installed in every dorm room, bathroom and dining area, and students were given educational
materials about the importance of hand hygiene. Over all, the risk of getting sick was 20 percent lower in
the dorms where hand hygiene was emphasized, and those students missed 43 percent fewer days of school.

For years, as more academics have embraced "open access" publishing -- in which journals are published
online and free -- a constant refrain from many publishers has been that the model would deprive them of
the revenue they need for high quality editing and peer review. On Monday, five leading universities
pledged to develop systems to pay open access journals for the articles they publish by the institutions'
scholars.

The idea of some kind of open-source, online, low-cost revolution in education has become a lit fuse,
sparking and crackling its way toward an explosion. Here and there, in places ranging from Silicon Valley
to Indonesia, a few bold universities and entrepreneurs are taking pokes at the concept.

Last year, CNN announced that it was going to eliminate its entire science and technology reporting team.
To a group of public affairs administrators at research universities, it was but the latest sign that
science news was going to have a more and more difficult time reaching the public. So the university
administrators created a Web site in which they could distribute writing about their researchers and their
work directly to the public. The result is Futurity, which today shifts from beta to an officially live
site.

A columnist describes a meeting with a college counselor during her child’s senior year. “You'll emerge
from this meeting,” she says, “with a list of schools that range from the impossible to the improbable to
the possible; in the current climate, anyone who still refers to ‘safe schools’ is delusional. Do not for a
moment imagine that these evaluations stem solely from your child's academic profile.” |
