Many critics on the political left argue the tests are racially or economically biased, but Dartmouth President Sian Beilock said the evidence didn’t support those claims. “The research suggests this tool is helpful in finding students we might otherwise miss,” she said.

just in case you weren't sure, we're the bad guys

The U.S. blocked a resolution in the UN Security Council that would have demanded a permanent cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war, siding with Israel’s claim that ending the war before Hamas is destroyed would only ensure the conflict erupts again. nyti.ms/41d20sQ

80% cut to Title I. Just incredible. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

As I work on submitting an article revision I am again reminded and shocked that academic publishers make something like 30% profit in exchange for what is essentially no more than formatting a PDF. To be clear, editors do a lot more, but they don’t take in the $$$$.

@perrybaconjr.bsky.social well said: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | The Biden administration should rethink its Israeli-Palestinian policieswww.washingtonpost.com Israel’s bombing seems less a targeted effort to kill Hamas terrorists and more a general punishment for everyone who lives in Gaza in retaliation.
