The Trump admin's attacks on higher education aren't just restricted to elite universities. Their choice to reduce the max Pell amount and make it impossible for part-time students to receive aid is abstruse. Crazy attack on CCs and all of the good they do. www.insidehighered.com/news/institu...
Community Colleges Fear Proposed Changes to Pell
The House’s budget would strip Pell Grants from many part-time students. That’s bad news for community colleges.

New from me and former colleagues at Aspen and CCRC: the second edition of the Transfer Playbook! We learned from practitioners nationwide over two years of fieldwork to identify the transfer practices that best position students to graduate with a bachelor's degree.
What if every #comm_college student had a real shot at a bachelor’s degree? Only 16% reach that goal—but it doesn’t have to be this way. Transfer Playbook 2.0 from Aspen & CCRC offers proven strategies to close the gap & boost success.
