How a Marriage of Equals Turned Into a ‘Hostile Takeover’
Once billed as a cutting-edge marriage of equals, the partnership between Antioch University and Otterbein University is now mired in divorce court. The roots of the conflict were embedded at the beginning of the relationship, in the founding of what was billed as the joining of two equal institutions into a partnership called the Coalition for the Common Good.
International education gets its day in court
In this week’s Latitudes: O Canada! Public universities in Florida will bar undocumented students. Join a conversation about the state of international mobility. But first … International education had its day in court last week, as a federal judge heard arguments over the most sweeping rules change to student visas in a decade: The Trump administration wants to set strict limits of no more than four years on the amount of time foreign students can spend in the United States.
Can Higher Ed Finally Figure Out How to Serve Nontraditional Students?
Most colleges aren’t set up to educate this country’s fastest-growing group of potential enrollees: the 40 million adults with some college but no degree. The time-bound, traditional semester system is designed to educate students en masse, but it also discards far too many of them, says Barbara Bichelmeyer, a professor of education at the University of Kansas, who recently retired as provost. To get them to come back, it might be time to think differently.
The Artificial Scientist
Since the start of President Trump’s second term, university-housed research has been defined by funding cuts. The administration has canceled or disrupted more than $3 billion in National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation grants since Trump took office in January 2025, and in July, it released a report indicating a further shift away from university labs.

Why a President Is Worried About All the Students Wearing Headphones
When C. Shane Reese arrived for his first fall semester at Brigham Young University, he was overwhelmed. Within days, he was “this close” to packing up and leaving. A first-generation college student, Reese was not raised a “BYU fanatic” like some of his peers at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints titan in Utah. He did not feel a sense of belonging.
How Texas Became an Enrollment Battleground
Driving on the highway through Dallas is like encountering a running advertisement for higher education. Heading southbound on the bottlenecked I-35E, at least eight campuses, university medical centers, and academic colleges pass by in as many miles. Static or digital billboards half the length of a basketball court pepper the roadway. They might tout a Forbes “Top Colleges” accolade, or a Division I football team, or a high-demand credential.
