☆ Biden's Education Department just released its 'strongest-ever' plan to ensure student-loan borrowers don't graduate with unaffordable debt
  + stars: | 2023-05-17 | by ( Ayelet Sheffey | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
The Education Department released its new proposal for a strengthened gainful employment rule. The rule would place safeguards for borrowers to ensure they don't take on more student debt than they can afford. "Ever since the Trump Administration illegally repealed the 2014 Gainful Employment rule, students have been left unprotected from predatory higher ed profiteers," Ament said. The gainful employment rule has drawn criticism from for-profit schools in the past who have argued that they were being targeted by the strengthened regulations. Democratic lawmakers have previously pushed for a strengthened gainful employment rule.

If accepted, the participants would spend July through December as senior analysts, then become associates as of January 1, 2024. "We will continue to assess current Senior Analysts eligibility for promotion to Associate 1 this July."

Along with the accountant, Mathis has also hired a virtual assistant, whom she pays $1,545 monthly. When Mathis shifted from full-time virtual assistant to full-time mentor, she needed to reshoot her brand images.

Historically Black colleges and universities have been embroiled in a student housing crisis for decades. Fisk is believed to be the second U.S. higher education institution to utilize shipping containers for student housing after the College of Idaho implemented dorm-style containers in 2020. “The enrollment is growing so fast, and the shipping containers provide some sustainable flexibility. They all wanted to live in these shipping containers,” Frederiksen said. Meanwhile, other projects like the HBCU Healthy Housing (H3) Initiative from the Virginia-based advocacy group Student Housing of America are partnering with universities to build additional housing.

☆ The White House wants to entice Americans back to work by giving them more benefits
  + stars: | 2022-12-22 | by ( Jason Lalljee | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
A top Biden economist said the president is looking to fix the labor shortage by making it easier to get back to work. That includes giving people childcare options and lowering "costs for consumers." Deese is also referencing the high inflation that the Federal Reserve is fighting to curb, and that Americans are struggling to keep up with, adding that the White House will potentially take administrative actions to reduce the price of housing. Deese was not specific about what White House economists' plans would be beyond that, but he suggested childcare was key to making sure that parents would be able to work. Such provisions may be hard for Biden to pull off after losing control of the House to Republicans this year.

Sanders has a 27-5 coaching record at Jackson State, including going 12-0 this year and winning two consecutive Southwestern Athletic Conference titles. Sanders will owe Jackson State around $300,000 in a buyout for the 2020 contract, according to USA Today. This is not a Deion Sanders thing,” Parker told NBC News. “I do think he cared about the well-being of Jackson State football players. I think the buzz around the program will change, especially if they don’t hire a coach that has a similar stature as Deion Sanders.”

Many are upset that the Black former superstar is leaving a Historically Black University where his leadership could continue to provide a solid foundation for young Black athletes. Sanders proved his ability in his first coaching job by making the Jackson State Tigers the best team among HBCUs. In his final game at Jackson State, Sanders will lead the Tigers against North Carolina Central University in the Cricket Celebration Bowl on Dec. 17 in Atlanta. At each previous stop in Saban’s head coaching journey (University of Toledo, Michigan State University, Louisiana State University and the NFL’s Miami Dolphins), he may well have disappointed some players who signed on hoping he would stay. His son, Jackson State star quarterback Shedeur Sanders, is expected to do just that and follow his father.
☆ DEI programing stalled in 2022—how that could 'alienate' young workers in the future

According to new research from Glassdoor, in September 2017, 27% of companies reviewed on the site indicated corporate investment into DEI programs like Employee Resource Groups. Access to DEI programs surged to 39% in 2020 before peaking to 43% in 2021. Where are DEI programs thriving? Young people have been very vocal about their desire to work for companies that care about diversity, equity, and inclusion — and Glassdoor reviews prove it. Black women, and people of color collectively, are also more likely to say diversity, equity, and inclusion are important than their white counterparts.
