Check out the difference between the URL and the headline. Guess which one is accurate? The story is behind a paywall, but let’s just say this isn’t a great example of media ethics. “bizjournals.com/philadelphia/n…” bizjournals.com/philadelphia/n…

This should be getting more attention in the college pricing media coverage. insidehighered.com/news/students/…

Will colleges be able to maintain racial diversity without race-based affirmative action programs. Class-based advantages could help, but schools probably can’t afford them. Check out our latest research (with Sarah Reber). brookings.edu/articles/can-c…

Yikes. This is going to be a difficult admissions season. nytimes.com/2024/01/01/you…

The main thing to take away from this article is that we charge lower-income students ($0 EFC) far too much ($15,000?) for college. We can talk about an $80,000 sticker price for higher-income students, but this clearly doesn’t work. nytimes.com/2024/01/13/bus…

Following last summer’s SCOTUS decision, class-based affirmative action may seem like a viable alternative, but Sarah Reber and I provide evidence that it’s unrealistic because of the cost. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

Chapter 3 of the ERP also cites research by AESG Director Melissa S. Kearney, Policy Director Luke Pardue & AESG author Phil Levine, which finds that the rising costs of housing and child care cannot account for the decline in births in the US. econ.umd.edu/sites/www.econ…

US births continue to decline… (Though the headline reference to a pandemic baby “bump” isn’t quite right; it was a pandemic drop followed by a rebound - now US births appear to be back on the longer term downward trend.) forbes.com/sites/robertha…

It would have been nice if they used my name as the author of the Brookings Econ report, but at least they got the message right! startribune.com/cost-confusion…

Here's a TV interview where I make my case to ignore the sticker price based on my @brookingsecon research along with a MyinTuition call out! youtube.com/watch?v=WRaEaw…

Recent polling shows that more American’s are questioning the value of a college degree. But, as Phil Levine and I write in the The Chronicle of Higher Education, college remains a solid investment for students chronicle.com/article/yes-co…

NASFAA signed onto a letter urging top congressional appropriators to increase the maximum Pell Grant award to $13,000 – double the maximum award over FY 2021 levels – for the FY 2025 budget. ow.ly/f5XV50SaGlJ

I couldn’t agree more with the message from this editorial. And there is a nice callout to MyinTuition! The price of college shouldn’t be a guessing game edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dynam… For more great content like this subscribe to the The Boston Globe app here:

At M.I.T., Black and Latino Enrollment Drops Sharply After Affirmative Action Ban nytimes.com/2024/08/21/us/…

A handful of colleges have massive endowments. How should they be spent? How are they spent? Should they be taxed? The trade-off between excellence and access is a critical issue. See my analysis here: brookings.edu/articles/shoul…

If college costs are rising, somehow families need to pay the higher bill. How do they do it? See my latest Brookings report for answers. brookings.edu/articles/cover…

A large endowment tax on elite colleges and universities is a terrible idea, but it's on the table. Perhaps it's most harmful impact is that it will reduce access for lower-income students. chronicle.com/article/how-tr…

As the season approaches when colleges announce their sticker prices for 2025-26, it is important to remember that most students pay less than that. We need to do a better job telling them!insidehighered.com/opinion/views/…

Highly endowed colleges and universities have been making progress lately in terms of enrolling lower-income students. Still more work to be done, but an endowment tax will certainly make it harder for that trend to continue. brookings.edu/articles/achie…
