Advanced Placement African American Studies may not be widely available in Georgia next year, after the state superintendent withheld approval for the course in 2024–25. School districts can offer the course anyway but won’t receive any state funding to pay for it—making it much more difficult to justify in low-income districts. Thirty-three school districts in Georgia offered the course last year, according to data from the College Board, the nonprofit owner of the AP program.

Higher education is intrinsically susceptible to change. In most sectors, organisations are competitive, differentiating strategies, pursuing unique opportunities, innovating, all in an effort to outlast competitors and build resilience against risk. Universities, however, do similar things, deliver similar services, and serve similar groups. Universities are not built to compete.
