Grateful for this coverage of recent early childhood research from Center for Education and Civil Rights. With amazing recent grads Rohitha Edara & Karen Babbs Hollett.
New research from Penn State finds early childhood classrooms across the U.S. remain highly segregated—over 25% are 90%+ one race or ethnicity. These patterns shape opportunity from the start and call for equity-driven policy change. bit.ly/4hbLbH1

As @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social alum, very glad to see this. Many of the things this compact seeks to change would have lessened my college experience. Important moment for higher Ed.
It appears that my employer, Dartmouth, one of the Trump 9, has said no to the compact. All the better given that our president is cited within it. But she’s saying no. Count the small victories when they come.
Office of the President
Dear Dartmouth community,
 
As many of you know, Dartmouth was one of nine universities asked by the White House to give feedback by Oct. 20 on a draft of its “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.” 
 
I am deeply committed to Dartmouth’s academic mission and values and will always defend our fierce independence. 
 
You have often heard me say that higher education is not perfect and that we can do better. At the same time, we will never compromise our academic freedom and our ability to govern ourselves. 
 
Best,
Sian Leah Beilock
President
Congrats to @lexapot.bsky.social & the incredible providers she works with to stabilize ECE providers and to work towards funding full cost of care for CA’s youngest. This will support kids, families and providers.
Victory! Child Care Providers ratified our third contract with the state after months of negotiations, rallies, and vigils. This comes after both #CALeg and Governor Newsom have ratified this agreement!

So disappointed by this decision to wind down our local NPR station due to fed & univ cuts. I joined several NPR programs over my years here to talk about my research.

I’m also frustrated for our community & as a parent who has a kid who adores listening to/ learning from NPR when he’s in the car.
WPSU in Pennsylvania becomes the first public media outlet to shut down as a result of the rescission of federal funding.

Congrats to you & Ee-Seul for shepherding such a terrific issue! Highly recommend reading this entire set of articles.
I have two disappointed kids by this @nytimes decision. They were always very faithful adherents to the tagline not to let adults read the NYT kids section. It helped make my son a devoted newspaper reader.

Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again
