Founder & CEO of Better Future Forward, an organization using ISAs to expand educational opportunity for disadvantaged students. All thoughts here are my own.

New research!! Do ISAs favor one racial or gender group over another? Using a proprietary data set of over 7,500 student records, we found no consistent and significant favorability between groups. https://t.co/zobvZAuzLa

Income share agreements “need strong regulations,” argues @KevinJamesEd in the latest episode of @DrBethAkers' “An Economist Goes to College." They discuss ISAs role in the future of paying for college and what might stand in the way of innovation. https://t.co/DguYwis2fS

Kevin buckets ISA value prop to learners as:
• Money (how pay for school?)
• Risk (what if school doesn’t work out?)
• Value (what’s school really worth?)
Well done, Beth and Kevin.

[Beth Akers @DrBethAkers]

We’re all going to need to find a new strategy for engaging in politics. We too often resort to shaming and degrading those we disagree with. Regardless of who wins, we have deep wounds to heal in this nation.
