US appeals court strikes down key part of Florida law restricting campus race and gender discussions

A federal appeals panel struck down a significant chunk of Ron DeSantis’s so-called Stop Woke Act on Tuesday, delivering another rebuff to the Republican Florida governor’s efforts to stifle free speech in higher education. 

 In a scathing order, judges of the 11th circuit court of appeal said by a 2-1 majority that the higher education component of the law – which prevented college and university professors teaching or sharing thoughts on concepts of race and gender – breached the free expression rights guaranteed under the US constitution’s first amendment.

Outrage over ‘cruel’ Florida move to ban undocumented students from college

“The attempt to restrict a child’s access to higher education based on the documentation status that is no fault of their own is un-American, it’s unfaithful, and it’s absolutely also constitutionally concerning because, obviously, we did not pass legislation on this matter,” she said…

Trump wants to cut funds to college programs for poor students : NPR

  "TRIO has been around for 60 years," said Kimberly Jones, the president of COE. "We've produced millions of college graduates. We know it works." 

Yet Education Secretary Linda McMahon and the White House refer to the programs as a "relic of the past." 

 Jones countered that census data shows that "students from the poorest families still earn college degrees at rates far below that of students from the highest-income families," demonstrating continued need for TRIO...

College, university aid: which students are getting grant money

College is expensive for most families, to be sure. And they all scramble to make it work. 

But for low-income families, high tuition costs can rule out school altogether — financial burdens were cited by U.S. adults as the top reason for not pursuing an advanced degree in a Gallup survey this year. The system isn't set-up to attract lower-income students, Granville says. 

"There's very little working to benefit students who are on the fence about attending college at all."…

US college students voice concern over Charlie Kirk’s idolization

"I do feel a level of sympathy for [Kirk's] family. But when I ask my close friends, we all agree that he was horrible; we don't agree with anything he stood for," John said. "It's hard to juxtapose. On one hand, obviously political violence is not something we should support. On the other hand, how can I feel sympathy for him when he had no sympathy for me?"… 

"America just isn't a good place to be in any more."…

Native American universities and colleges brace for crippling Trump cuts

"Our tribal colleges are a deep expression of self-determination and sovereignty. These education systems were created to support and build tribal leadership, to create education systems in which Native students can thrive and can build our economies," Rose said. "Not only are the proposed cuts a direct attack against the trust and treaty responsibility that the federal government has to postsecondary institutions, it inhibits tribes' ability to direct self-determination in our own education systems." She added that her organization and the institutions were connecting with the current administration to underscore just how critical Department of Interior funding is to tribal colleges.

Rural students’ options shrink as colleges slash majors - The Washington Post

Many of the comparatively few universities that serve rural students are eliminating large numbers of programs and majors, blaming plummeting enrollment and resulting financial crises. Nationwide, college enrollment has declined by 2 million students, or 10 percent, in the 10 years ending in 2022, hitting rural schools particularly hard. An increasing number of rural private, nonprofit colleges are not only cutting majors, but closing altogether…
