What we’ve been reading:

HANKS! The one and only Tom Hanks on how community college changed his life.
Kyle Gunnels
This was one of my fav reads from this week. And I know I’ve been all about that PIE News lately, but this was especially interesting (especially as institutions in the US keep increasing fees…for everyone).

I’ve been devouring as much as I can about free community college. Who knows, maybe all of my clicks will make it more likely to come true.
Teresa Valerio Parrot
This week, I was focused on reading both sides of the story—with the Atlantic and the open letter from the CUNY communications guy, as well as the drop in UVA applications and whether or not the RS article played a role. And one last one.
Kristine Maloney
Loved this story. I’ve been interested in an update on Goucher since they announced their new plan.
