☆ Campus protests, FAFSA delays plagued college admissions this year—how it affects incoming students, from college counselors
  + stars: | 2024-05-08 | by ( Kamaron Mcnair | In Kamaronmcnair | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
This year's college admissions cycle is wrapping up, and it's been eventful. Before high school seniors even started submitting applications in the fall, several factors were poised to shake up the admissions season. Separately, college students and administrators' responses to the Israel-Hamas war has brought even greater scrutiny to higher education institutions. And despite issues like the FAFSA delays, some colleges still wanted incoming students to make a decision — and a deposit — by May 1. Durso Finley and Burks Becker shared insights from what they've seen working with students and families throughout this unusual school year.

☆ After Student’s Suicide, an Elite School Says It Fell ‘Tragically Short’
  + stars: | 2023-04-30 | by ( Benjamin Weiser | Tracey Tully | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Last April, Jack Reid, a 17-year-old junior at one of the nation’s elite boarding schools, tucked a Bible into his gym shorts and a note into his pocket directing his parents to a Google document explaining his feelings of despair. Then, inside his dorm room, he took his own life. On Sunday, the anniversary of Jack’s death, the Lawrenceville School in New Jersey offered an extraordinary admission of failure, publicly acknowledging that it had been aware that Jack was being bullied by other students, but that it had fallen “tragically short” of its obligation to protect him. “The school acknowledges that bullying and unkind behavior, and actions taken or not taken by the school, likely contributed to Jack’s death,” Lawrenceville officials wrote in a statement posted Sunday morning on the school’s website. The school committed to taking a series of corrective actions including endowing a new dean’s position that will be focused on mental health issues, with a goal of becoming a model for anti-bullying and student mental health.
☆ I'm a 17-year-old high school student who can't vote. Here's why I built a system to track Congress' troubling stock trades.

As a 17-year-old student at The Lawrenceville School in New Jersey, I can't even vote. I would spend the summer of 2021 creating a website — SenateTrades, I dubbed it — that analyzed senators' public financial disclosures. During an April congressional hearing, there was some bipartisan consensus that changes need to be made to congressional stock trading. My high school social studies class certainly didn't cover congressional stock trading. George McCain is a rising senior at The Lawrenceville School in Lawrenceville, New Jersey.
