In the wake of the COVID pandemic, high school GPAs (HSGPA) are less likely to be clear indicators of first-year, postsecondary success. A more holistic assessment of students, including the use of the ACT test score alongside HSGPA, acts as a better predictor. That’s according to the latest report from the ACT , which analyzed high school GPAs, ACT test scores, and first-year grades in students from 2017 to 2021.

Scott McLemee interviews Paul Reitter, translator of a new English edition of Marx’s Capital. In early 1845, a young and precariously employed holder of a Ph.D. in philosophy named Karl Marx signed a contract with a German publisher for a book, in two volumes, on political economy. He had already filled notebooks with extracts from his studies in the field, and at the time likely felt like he was already reasonably far along on the project.

Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), America's largest robocollege, is facing layoffs. And this time, workers are talking. For years, Southern New Hampshire has avoided scrutiny compared to other schools that have been labeled bad actors. Part of this reduced scrutiny may have been because SNHU is a non-profit and some because Paul LeBlanc, its long-time president, was perceived as an online higher education visionary, granting degrees that consumers could afford.

High school students are feeling overwhelmed, under-informed, and surprisingly skeptical about the value of a college degree. If you’re in admissions or financial aid, these trends can’t be ignored – they threaten the very way you attract and enroll students.
