A California community college canceled football weeks before kickoff, citing safety concerns and a 41-player roster. It’s part of a wider reckoning as two-year colleges weigh athletics against costs, enrollment pressures, and student opportunity. chroni.cl/4AhjxkX
Opinion: Administrative and support payroll grew 88% from 2010 to 2024, outpacing revenue and instructional salaries, according to an analysis of federal data.
Some leaders will say administrative growth is an unavoidable consequence of regulation or institutional complexity. But it can be avoided, this essay argues. chroni.cl/46urF3W

Opinion: This American scholar once thought leaving U.S. academe would mean giving up the best funding, students, and opportunities. Then he started comparing what other countries could offer. What he found surprised him. chroni.cl/4xw9ANV

Opinion: Ivy League leaders argue colleges need more AI, not less. This essay makes the countercase: Students can use AI well only if they first learn to think, read, and write without it.chroni.cl/4hatesu

A 1970 University of Chicago report on faculty appointments warned about politicized hiring, departmental insularity, weak governance, and the split between research and teaching. This opinion essay argues those concerns still shape today’s faculty-hiring debates. chroni.cl/4iuPH5X
We’re in a moment where more people feel disenfranchised, said Steven G. Poskanzer, president emeritus at Carleton College and author of “The University’s Voice: Principled Silence and Purposeful Speech.”
They then turn to important institutions to take a stance for them. It’s understandable, but not always in the best interest of the institution. chroni.cl/4j5ZkZ3

A federal court has blocked a rule that would have sharply limited student visas, including a new four-year cap. The judge wrote that the cap would create “a high degree of uncertainty” in the educational process. chroni.cl/4j4v4Od
How should college leaders respond to the Trump administration's latest higher ed compact?
Leaders should be sympathetic to the points made in Compact 2.0, since they reflect real concerns Americans have about higher education, said Beth Akers, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, during today's Chronicle Festival.

She even has host colleges in mind for different topics. Register to watch the session here: chroni.cl/4xVPTzT

How should college leaders approach diversity in today’s climate? Ana Mari Cauce, professor of psychology and president emeritus of University of Washington, said colleges should broaden their definitions of diversity and that it still has its merits.

Today during ChronFest, Jonathan Holloway, president of the Henry Luce Foundation and former president of Rutgers University, gave advice on rebuilding trust on campus.
Own up to mistakes quickly when you’ve made a misstep, he said. You’re surrounded by smart people and they can spot a lie. The honest approach is disarming. chroni.cl/3TxfdgP
