A profile of Bob Morse, who runs U.S. News & World Report’s annual Best Colleges guide, the oldest and best-known publication to rank America’s premier colleges. The annual release of the rankings, set for Sept. 13 this year, is a marquee event in higher education. The rankings have changed the way colleges do business. Critics see their influence every time an institution presses alumni for nominal donations, coaxes noncommittal students to apply or raises the SAT score required for admission.

College leaders must embrace goals beyond building a perfect freshman class of "stellar Olympians" and stop looking at the admissions process through the "narcissistic glass of competitive rankings," says a new report by the University of Southern California's Center for Enrollment Research, Policy, and Practice, and the Education Conservancy.

The number of Hispanic-serving institutions, or HSIs, nationwide has increased by 24 percent since 2004 and could grow by another 40 percent if “emerging” HSIs in 18 states and Puerto Rico continue to grow, a new study says.

In-class clickers—and the cheating problems that accompany them—have become quite common, many instructors say. Today, more than 1,000 colleges in the United States use the devices, which look like TV remotes. In addition to using them to take attendance, professors pose multiple-choice questions during class, students click answers, and software instantly projects the responses as charts at the front of the room. Particularly in large classes, that lets instructors assess student comprehension in a matter of seconds. But the system can be abused.

Every so often, the issue of financial aid awarded on the basis of students' race flares. Lawsuits crop up challenging a state's or institution's ability to consider students' race in handing out grants, or a white student (or a group of such students) announces the creation of a fund for scholarships reserved for white students, on the grounds that grant money flows disproportionately to members of minority groups. A new report challenges the assumptions underlying such developments.

In the latest in a series of public statements she has made since a football controversy broke several weeks ago, University of Miami president Donna E. Shalala shifted the focus this week to the academic performance of Miami's athletes. In doing so, however, she engaged in some hyperbole about the institution's standing and the company it keeps.
