"Who is making up these advanced courses, and are they truly equivalent, or are we just giving them an equivalent weight?" said Democratic state representative Felicia Simone Robinson. "Because if we are, and this is a course that we're just making up for Florida and it's not necessarily equivalent to the AP and IB courses, then we're putting our students at a disadvantage when they're trying to compete against other students in the United States."

Since 2006, Inside Higher Ed has used the NCAA's data on teams' academic performance to select its March Madness winners. First, we compare teams' academic progress rate, the metric the NCAA uses to measure athlete retention and academic eligibility. This year, we used data from 2023-24, the most recent available.

Northeastern will host its 2026 undergraduate commencement on April 29 in Fenway Park, the university's commencement page said. In an Instagram post, the school's mascot, Paws, prances about a Duff-coded dorm room, jamming to her song "What Dreams Are Made Of."

We live in an extraordinary moment in Qatar, as you can imagine, but ... there has been an amazing coordination among all the universities in, first of all, minimizing the risk of the students and, secondly, in assuring the continuity of education by online means and also doing the adaptations that are needed in terms of assessment and everything else. We learned a lot during the COVID times and those lessons learned there have been extremely useful in this specific situation at this time.

House File 2487 would require the universities to identify any general ed course requirements that 'include diversity, equity, inclusion, and critical race theory-related content' by the fall 2028 semester.

I think it's really a best case scenario. What I can say is that it was evident that the picket that we held on Thursday was absolutely instrumental in getting us over the finish line. The unions, which are units of the United Auto Workers, represent academic student employees, student services and advising professionals, as well as research and public service professionals across the U.C. system.

It's a case of the regulator not doing its job properly. These colleges don't appear consistent with the OfS requirements on academic freedom and freedom of expression, so they shouldn't have been registered in the first place. The lack of transparency is striking.
