U.S. Reps Urge Relief Measures for Students Impacted by Coronavirus Closures

More and more colleges are closing their classroom doors — and in some cases, their residence halls — as epidemiologists urge people to refrain from public gatherings amid the coronavirus pandemic. However, while beneficial to public health and safety, such precautions may place the heaviest burden on those who are most vulnerable: low-income students with housing and food insecurity.

Rep. Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.)

What Will Happen to the Most Vulnerable Student Populations During the COVID-19 Public Health Crisis?

Over the last few days, hundreds of colleges and universities have decided to encourage students to move out as soon as possible and handle the remainder of the academic semester online. While major precautions are necessary to help avoid making this public health crisis any worse, the announcements have made one thing clear: institutions assume that students will be able to figure out where to live, how to eat, and how to finish the semester in a matter of days.

Stepping Away from the Brink: Part VII: Faculty and The Academy

Faculty, in conjunction with students, represent the core of an academic institution. Without either, colleges and universities don’t have a purpose. It is faculty who provides education, advice, and enlightenment to our next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, politicians, educators, and hopefully change-makers.

Removing the Blindfold of Domestic Violence Against Women on College Campuses

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 21% of college students experienced domestic violence by a current partner, and 32% of college students experienced domestic violence by a previous partner. The numbers are more likely higher because some women do not feel comfortable sharing their abuse with University officials for fear of retaliation.

Redefining Access in Higher Education

As colleges and universities become increasingly diverse in terms of their enrollment, they are quick to highlight how their incoming class is either the most racially or ethnically diverse class, the most first-generation college students to be admitted in a given year, or the most socioeconomically diverse incoming class. But what happens when these students come to campus?

My doctoral training gave me many things, including the “statistical chops” to analyze cross-sectional, nationally-representative, and complex-sampled survey data from HBCUs with relative ease.
