A Good Start on Higher-Ed Lending — The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

Last month, a Republican Congress and President Trump achieved, if that is the word, a massive budget-reconciliation bill. As is more and more common, a Congress averse to accountability for particular votes crammed the measure full of many agenda items that the majority and the president wanted but chose to vote up or down on them as a package. Several provisions are relevant to American higher education. They involve the student-loan program, …Read Article

Whac-a, Meet Mole — The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

Some years ago, I saw in a friend’s kitchen a sign meant to place the house’s terms of engagement beyond dispute: “My dogs live here. The rest of you are just visiting.” Little did I know then that a bit of mass-produced kitsch could explain the higher-ed reformer’s central dilemma. Consider this year’s attempt by the UNC System to bring its schools in line with Trump Administration anti-DEI guidance. As recent events make clear, that effort may…Read Article

Don’t Yank the Sage From His Stage — The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

“In most college classrooms,” wrote Alison King in a seminal 1993 article, “the professor lectures and the students listen and take notes. The professor is the central figure, the ‘sage…Read Article

A New Vision for Middle East Studies — The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

For decades, Middle East Studies programs and centers across the country have acted more as hubs of ideological indoctrination than as places to educate future leaders committed to advancing American interests in the region. The antisemitic and anti-Israel protests that followed the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks made the public more aware of what these programs have become. Many of them played a role in organizing protests and encampments at to…United States · United States Read Article

The SAT Still Measures What Matters — The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

The SAT has been called many things. Too consequential. Too stressful. Too long. But in its 100-year history, no one ever called it easy. But lately, a claim that the SAT has been “dumbed down” has ricocheted across social media and lit up education blogs. It’s a hot take that makes for an irresistible retweet but ignores a more important truth: The SAT—in its paper-and-pencil past and in its digital present—remains the gold standard for reliabl…Raleigh, North Carolina · Raleigh Read Article

How Are North Carolina’s College Coaches Paid? — The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

American universities, especially in the South, are famous for their emphasis on sports. Football stadiums often seat more fans than do city arenas, and coaching contracts can rival those of Fortune 500 executives. College athletics have grown into more than just a pastime; they’re a deeply embedded part of the culture. As tuition rises in a number of states and regions, coaching salaries soar. Stadiums tower over libraries, and while some acade…Higher Education · Chapel Hill Read Article

Hoosier State Slash and Burn — The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

The Indiana Commission for Higher Education, Indiana’s public-university-system leadership, has announced that the state’s public colleges are responding to a new state law by eliminating or merging more than 400 degree programs on the different university campuses, about 20 percent of the total number of degrees offered. Inside Higher Ed summarizes: The announcement came just before a new state law took effect … setting minimum requirements for…Indianapolis · Indianapolis Read Article

An Unfair Leg Up at Carolina — The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

Admission to UNC-Chapel Hill is extremely competitive. Last year, 73,192 hopeful students applied to be new Tar Heel undergraduates. Only 5,624 eventually joined UNC as either first-year or transfer students. Such a large winnowing should be done fairly and predictably. But one program might be giving some students a leg up. Students from CCAC schools are being admitted at higher rates than students at other N.C. public high schools. …Chapel Hill, North Carolina · Chapel Hill Read Article

The Weak Case for Unrestrained Academic Freedom — The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

Debates about the shape and limits of academic freedom are virtually constant in institutions of higher education, but they have recently become a matter of widespread discussion in the general public. This is largely because the Trump administration has been pushing back against the peculiar ways in which many schools are justifying political propagandizing using the language of academic freedom. Yale law professor Keith Whittington’s entry int…Education · Lewisburg Read Article

At Wyoming, We’re Not Just Holding the Reins for Show — The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

Dear Editor, Jovan Tripkovic is talking out of his hat when he admonishes the University of Wyoming for making only superficial changes to DEI and argues that we should be focused on civics education rather than our new Research 1 status (“Cosmetic Change at the University of Wyoming,” July 10, 2025). Mr. Tripkovic offers no evidence for his claims and ignores our laudable efforts to strengthen a longstanding commitment to free inquiry, free exp…DEI · Laramie Read Article

The American Bar Association Needn’t Accredit Law Schools — The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

A number of “sacred cow” beliefs regarding higher education are (finally!) coming under scrutiny. One of them is that it is important for the American Bar Association (ABA) to oversee law schools via its power of accreditation. In all but a few states, any individual who wants to enter the legal profession must graduate from an ABA-accredited law school before being allowed to sit for the state’s bar exam. That restriction has long been defended…Education · Austin Read Article
