Professor, Duke Public Policy. "Big-Time Sports in American Universities" "Unequal Colleges in the Age of Disparity"

[Charles Clotfelter @CTClotfelter]

Yes. This is a step that universities can take towards leveling the playing field. One ready source on present inequality is my Unequal Colleges #HarvardUPress.

[Cassidy Leventhal @cassidylev]

Bravo, Johns Hopkins. 100% of universities need to take this step.

2019 incoming freshman class at Hopkins at only 3.5% legacies, down from 12.5% in 2009. In that same period, the proportion of students eligible for Pell Grants went from 9% to 19.1%.

LSU cancels classes for two days surrounding College Football Playoff final https://t.co/hlOyvZw1IF via @forthewin
Not unprecedented! Alabama did the same thing for the 2010 championship, but for 3 days!

Here's a nice article in @InsideHigherEd on California's new law that will allow college athletes to make money from endorsement deals. As she wrote, I remain skeptical of change in the #NCAA. https://t.co/ZXit7Blgws

[Charles Clotfelter @CTClotfelter]

California just threw a wrench in the #collegesports status quo. It cannot be denied that the current setup lets everybody but star athletes benefit. https://t.co/0eoUciPquo

Matt--"Terrible Baysian learner"--you really know how to hurt a guy! Unfortunately, the shoe fits!

[Matt Johnson @mslater_johnson]

When I see that scholars more accomplished and more senior than I am admit to overestimating what they can get done in a certain amount of time, I feel a mix of relief that I’m not the only one and horror at what terrible Bayesian learners we all are

With #Hemelt and Ladd, I wrote about Carolina Covenant at #uncch https://t.co/vDLEBwt7lH and the plight of public universities in https://t.co/l4qfHKAeeA

Good article in @chronicle about need-based financial aid at public #highered https://t.co/shEdFXFNTN

California passes bill allowing athletes to be paid for name, image and likeness https://t.co/mZ6a2mY1I4
Not obvious what the right fix is, but as things stand now, all parties in big time #collegesports are being rewarded by the market except for the top athletes.

If you want to know what the courts meant by “surgical precision” in NC gerrymandering, read this from @NewYorker. If you want to be part of the solution, you can help us set a new record for voter turnout in 2020. Who’s in? #ncpol

Wake County downplays use of student reassignment to meet new school diversity goal https://t.co/UI7N2xbkKP

Wake County has been a leader in keeping its schools diverse by keeping them reasonably balanced economically and racially.

What else could the #NCAA do? It can only do so much to paper over universities' conflicting academic vs. #commercial sports aims.

This was a tremendous outcome and the result of nine years of work by the Duke Law School Wrongful Convictions Clinic, working for Dontae Sharpe's release after 25 years in prison.

Majority of Republicans have negative view of higher ed, Pew finds https://t.co/QVXtfZ8NbH

This is a stunning set of findings. See also the July 11 IHE article reporting the details of the Pew survey. Just one more partisan divide?
