Some cynically try to divide & conquer but students of color & civil rights organizations continue to stick together. Today’s legal victory reaffirms the importance of ensuring that the doors to the nation’s top universities must be accessible to all students. #Harvard

Analysis: Texas’ school finance problem in one pesky chart https://t.co/WNePgJHqTO via @TexasTribune

[Al Kauffman @AlKauffman]

What neither the chart nor the summary tells you is: FUNDING PER STUDENT HAS DROPPED FROM $9800 TO $8000 PER STUDENT PER YEAR. That is based on constant dollars, i.e. corrected for inflation, but that is what schools must do.
