Race and Higher Education in Virginia
I remain fascinated by how the higher education landscape has changed. Madison College now is highly competitive James Madison University. The former Northern Virginia campus of the University of Virginia now is George Mason University. Christopher Newport University, Old Dominion University and Virginia Commonwealth University — essentially commuter schools three decades ago — have undergone major transformations.

Cal State Scholars Call New Ethnic Studies or Social Justice Course Requirement a “Trojan Horse”
The California State University system board of trustees voted in favor of requiring students to take an ethnic studies or social-justice-related course before they graduate. But ethnic studies scholars opposed the change, arguing that it doesn’t actually require an ethnic studies class.

How “Different” Will Post-COVID Higher Education Be, Especially for “At-Risk” Students?
How are institutions preparing to deal with access to technology issues? While I can imagine many institutions providing students with laptops, students may encounter barriers to accessing reliable internet or even power for their devices. For residential campuses specifically who will have many students stay home, how do you ensure that your low-income students have access to adequate working space to learn and study?

On Social Justice, Black Lives Matter and the Power of Prayer
As a Black Man in America I pray that God Bless the “Black Lives Matter” movement for its continued critical advocacy and activism for social justice; and to publicly disassociate from factions that promote and further perpetuate fear, violence and destruction linked with Blackness.

A Letter to George Floyd
I do not know at a biological or emotional level what it is like to be Black. White privilege was my birthright. Poverty, and homosexuality, and a propensity toward obesity were equally my birthright, and I have experienced prejudice for all of those reasons. Still, I do not pretend to know what it feels like to be racially profiled or to know that my ancestors were violently separated from their homeland and brought in chains to serve people whose race is the same as mine.
