Faculty members who run a lab have a research job and a leadership job, but they are often only trained for one of those, Jen Heemstra writes. Conflict resolution, financial planning, people management, public relations—all such job duties and more came with my faculty career, and it’s fair to say that I did not feel adequately prepared for any of them.

Good news: We have new IPEDS data on average net cost. Bad news: Because IPEDS is IPEDS, it's data from the 2021-22 Academic Year. This is pretty straightforward: Each dot represents a public institution, colored by region, showing the average net price for first-year students entering in that year. IPEDS breaks out average net price by income bands, so you can see what a family with income of $30,000 to $48,000 pays, for instance, by using the filters at right.
