The Week in Admissions News
Freshman enrollment is up; diversity leaders are leaving; how Biden could win on loan forgiveness; a letter to the Education Department.
February 6, 2023
- For the first time since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, first-year enrollment increased from the previous year—though it’s too soon to say if the trend will continue.
- Demand for diversity, equity and inclusion specialists on campus is high—and so is turnover. Many in the field say the work can be isolating and support from top leaders is rare.
- If the parties challenging Biden’s loan-forgiveness plan can’t clear the standing threshold, then the Supreme Court justices shouldn’t consider the other arguments that the debt-relief plan is illegal. But that might not stop the conservative justices from striking down loan forgiveness.
- A coalition of progressive education groups sent a letter to the Education Department asking it to collect and publicize more information about admissions.
