☆ College closures expected to spike amid 'unprecedented fiscal challenges,' Fed research finds
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-11 | by ( Jessica Dickler | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

These days, only about 62% of high school seniors in the U.S. immediately go on to college, down from 68% in 2010, government data shows. Ballooning costs have played a large role in a changing mindset, according to Candi Clouse, a vice president at Implan. That has left some colleges and universities in a severe financial distress, according Implan's Clouse. On average, each college or university that shuts down affects 265 jobs and $14 million in labor income, according to Implan's calculations. In the years since, there has been a wave of schools declaring "financial exigency," according to the Fed.

☆ Justin Welby: Archbishop of Canterbury resigns over handling of church child abuse case

CNN —Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, the most senior leader in the Church of England, has resigned over his handling of a child abuse case, according to his official account. “Having sought the gracious permission of His Majesty The King, I have decided to resign as Archbishop of Canterbury,” Welby said in a statement on Tuesday. Pressure had been mounting on Welby in recent days, following an independent review into “sickening abuse” committed by John Smyth, a deceased British lawyer considered the worst serial abuser linked to the Church of England. The pair exchanged Christmas cards and Welby donated small sums of money to his “missions” in Zimbabwe. Until now, there’s been no historical precedent for an Archbishop of Canterbury resigning over child abuse.

☆ Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby faces calls to resign over church child abuse
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-11 | by ( Christopher Lamb | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

As well as heading the Church of England, the Archbishop of Canterbury acts as the “first among equals” leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion, which includes the Episcopal Church in the United States. Although Smyth sought ordination to the Church of England, he was refused and moved to Zimbabwe in 1984. The report estimates he went on to abuse 85 to 100 male children aged 13 to 17 in Africa. During his time in office, Welby has demanded accountability from those accused of mishandling abuse, including his predecessor, Lord Carey, and the former Bishop of Lincoln. A resignation by an Archbishop of Canterbury over child abuse would be without any obvious historical precedent and there is no mechanism with which to remove an archbishop.

Many colleges are under financial pressure, and the cracks are starting to show. At least 20 colleges closed in 2024, and more are set to shut down after the current academic year, according to the latest tally by Implan, an economic software and analysis company. Altogether, more than 40 colleges have closed since 2020, according to a separate report by Best Colleges. Experts have continuously warned that ongoing problems with the new Free Application for Federal Student Aid form have resulted in fewer students applying for financial aid, which could also contribute to declining enrollment. That has left some colleges and universities in a bind, especially "small private — often liberal arts — schools," said Candi Clouse, a vice president at Implan.

California is banning legacy admissions at private colleges and universities, ensuring that some of the country’s most selective schools will not favor applicants with familial or monetary connections to the schools.

GUWAHATI, India — Internet and mobile data services were suspended for five days and an indefinite curfew imposed in parts of India’s northeastern state of Manipur on Tuesday after student protests over continuing ethnic strife turned violent. Police say they suspect that the drones were used by Kuki militants, a claim denied by Kuki groups. Protesters threw stones and plastic bottles in front of the main gate of the state governor’s residence, police said in a statement. As protests spilled over into Tuesday, the local government imposed a curfew in the Imphal Valley and surrounding districts and suspended internet services in five valley districts. Authorities shut down the internet in Manipur last year, in one of India’s longest enforced outages.

Today, 29% of Americans say that college isn't worth the cost — and roughly half (49%) say having a four-year college degree is less important for landing a high-paying job today than it was 20 years ago, according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center. Only 22% of U.S. adults say the cost of getting a four-year degree today is worth it even if someone has to take out loans, Pew found. College graduates on average earn more than those without a four-year degree — but this so-called college wage premium is shrinking.
