If #HigherEd wants to "make progress in bolstering the reputation of the academy within democratic society, colleges & universities must be visible drivers of the social, cultural, & economic well-being of their neighbors."—Lynn Pasquerella (@CommishAACU ) https://t.co/Q5Vwmw73jz

The #PellGrant program is a vital bridge to higher education opportunity. A new Senate appropriations bill could cut $600 billion from the Pell Grant “rainy day fund.” Check out our new Pell funding 101 for a quick read on what’s at stake. https://t.co/L6Rf6svmYu

Despite budget cuts, @universityofri overhauled its gen ed program by connecting it to majors & focusing on learning outcomes & practical skills. “If you do this well, you’re going to have students staying longer & graduating,” said AAC&U's Terrel Rhodes. https://t.co/SwITF3zTcU

[AAC&U @aacu]

Simply offering high-impact practices isn't enough to reap the benefits they provide, say @Jillian_Kinzie and George D. Kuh in response to a recent study on HIPs and graduation rates. Implementation should be equitable, intentional, and based on evidence. https://t.co/4c4zd6lzmU
