There are many cheerful news stories about incarcerated people who are thriving in #college #classes. What those stories often fail to mention is that not all incarcerated people have access to those opportunities. Many are either in #prisons without classes or are languishing on waiting lists. @CharlotteWest has documented the problem of waiting lists in #Illinois, mentioning a person who has "been on a #waitlist since 2006 – nearly 19 years".

"This type of student loan, called an income share agreement, could become more appealing in the next few years as President Donald Trump and conservative lawmakers claw back access to federal student loans and grants — forcing families to turn to alternative and less regulated ways to pay for college."

Helping hand or scam? A different approach to paying back student loans is under scrutiny.

These loans, called income share agreements, could become more popular as President Donald Trump’s administration claws back federal loans and grants.

"Northwestern University, on the other hand, has systematically removed mentions of DEI from webpages for its library, medical school, college of arts and sciences and several other departments. This week, officials at the Evanston school took down the website for the campus Women’s Center." #wbez #education #chicago https://www.wbez.org/education/2025/03/05/dei-isnt-just-lawful-its-mission-critical
