Governance

Legislation that’s near passage in Arizona would create a “grade challenge department” for public universities. It could force professors to change students’ marks. 

The private, Roman Catholic institution in Missouri will shut down due to enrollment and financial challenges. Nearby Washington University will buy its campus.

Legislative scrutiny of the University of Idaho's plan to buy the for-profit University of Phoenix has ramped up recently as key deadlines for the acquisition near.

The institution’s president has appointed Bruce Gilley—who’s argued that a “European moral revolution” ended Africa’s “endemic slave empires” and said the transgender flag symbolizes mutilating children—to teach.

The deal, subtly mentioned in a letter to Arizona’s governor, left more questions than answers as the university remains under fire.
