This paper examines the tradeoff between public health risks and financial standing that school administrators faced when deciding reopening plans. Because in-person instruction at colleges and universities had large effects on COVID-19 case rates, it is critical to understand what caused these decisions. We used binary and multinomial probit models to evaluate an original data set of publicly available data as Citation: Tobin, Jonah, Oliver Hall, well as data from the College Crisis Initiative. Binary and multinomial choice model estimates suggest Jacob Lazris, and David Zimmerman. that conditional upon the prevailing level of COVID-19 in their county, financially distressed colleges 2021. Financial Stress and Health were approximately 20 percentage points more likely to opt for primarily in-person operations than Considerations: A Tradeoff in the less financially distressed colleges.

  • February 26, 2021 President, Search Committee New College of Florida
    February 26, 2021 President, Search Committee New College of Florida Via Electronic Mail Dear Members of the Search Committee: As I read your engaging presidential prospectus, I was drawn to New College of Florida’s distinctive liberal arts model. The opportunity to expand on the college’s influence and build on this unique model that is “open-minded, minimally prescriptive, customized, and evolutionary” invigorates me. Each time I read it I feel myself gaining energy and purpose. I enthusiastically submit my “curriculum vitae,” ​ highlighting a cutting edge integration of applied liberal arts, the intersection of career development and ​ education, an inclusive and welcoming community that builds trust, enhanced organizational effectiveness, and successful financial leadership with partnerships and fundraising. My qualifications and experiences prepare me particularly well to help build an increasingly visible role for New College of Florida that draws interest and enrollment from new pools of students throughout the state, region, nation and world. ​ When I first enrolled at Trinity College in Hartford, CT, as an undergraduate, I encountered faculty who were ready and eager to mentor and guide me. One example is Dori Katz, my faculty advisor, who did not tell me that majoring in French would be impossible because I am deaf. She said, "I will help you." But I soon learned that she didn't know how. So I began to teach her about my world, as she taught me about hers. Without the discussion we sustained and the careful attention she gave me over four years, I may ​ never have become the educated, ethical and engaged citizen that I am today.

    March 30, 2015 The Honorable Lamar Alexander Chairman Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions U.S. Senate 428 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Alexander: I am writing on behalf of UNCF (United Negro College Fund) and our 37 member institutions (including Fisk University, Lane College and LeMoyne-Owen College) to provide comments on S. 108, the Financial Aid Simplification and Transparency Act, or FAST Act. I, along with several of our member presidents, would greatly appreciate an opportunity to meet with you to discuss the FAST Act and other important higher education issues impacting Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) that the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee will consider later this year. UNCF is proud of its 71 years of service in helping low-income students of color progress to and through college by means of scholarship and programmatic support. We are a major scholarship provider to African American, Hispanic American, Native American and Pacific Islander students, having raised more than $4.3 billion to help over 400,000 students receive college degrees at HBCUs and other institutions across the country. With our deep experience in serving disadvantaged students of color, we know that federal student aid is essential for students without their own financial means to go to and through college. By 2012, only 23 percent of young African Americans between ages 25 and 29 had earned a college degree – about half the rate for white Americans – at a time when college degrees are more essential than ever. Even worse, the nation’s progress in boosting this percentage and closing college attainment inequities has slowed.

PUB TYPE Collected Works General (020) Reports Evaluative /Feasibility (142) Reference Materials Bibliographies (131) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Auteurism; *Black Community; *Black Culture; Black History; Cultural Images; Film Criticism; *Film Production Specialists; *Film Study; Popular Culture; Racial Relations; Urban Culture IDENTIFIERS *African Americans; *Lee (Spike) ABSTRACT This monograph presents a critical essay and a comprehensive 454-item bibliography on the contemporary African-American filmmaker, Spike Lee. The essay, entitled "African-American Folklore and Cultural History in the Films of Spike Lee" (Gloria J. Gibson-Hudson), analyzes Lee's filmmaking approach from a cultural and historical perspective. The essay identifies Lee as a contemporary storyteller weaving his tales with the aid of a camera and demonstrates how his film narratives draw on both the historic and contemporary experiences of African Americans. The essay discusses five of Lee's films (made between 1984 and 1991) thematically, categorizing them under intra-racal issues and inter-racial issues. The bibliography (by Grace Jackson-Brown) provides citations from both scholarly and popular literature, encompassing newspaper articles, journal and magazine articles, chapters or sections from books, and reviews of films (most of the citations date from the last 5 years). The extensive 49-page bibliography is intended to be a comprehensive guide to literature that will assist students and researchers with an interest in Spike Lee.

  • The Whole Matter Revolves Around the Self-Respect of My People”: Black Conservative Women in the Civil Rights Era
    204 Chapter 10 “The Whole Matter Revolves around the Self-Respect of My People”: Black Conservative Women in the Civil Rights Era Joshua D. Farrington Eastern Kentucky University INTRODUCTION In response to Brown v. Board of Education, the foundational case reflecting decades of hard work by civil rights activists to desegregate public education, famed Black novelist Zora Neale Hurston remarked, “I regard the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court as insulting.” 1 To her, “the whole matter revolves around the self-respect of my people…I see no tragedy in being too dark to be invited to a White social affair.”2 Black schools, run and operated by Black communities, were Hurston’s ideal, and the idea of holding integrated White schools as the standard bearer ran against her deep-seated racial pride. Though Hurston joined many White conservatives in opposing Brown, her reasons were altogether different, as was her distinctly Black brand of conservatism. Indeed, it was Black conservatives of the 1950s, not the decade’s mainstream integrationist civil rights leadership, who in many ways were closer to the more militant Black Nationalists of the 1960s in their joint emphasis on Black self-determination and a racial pride that rejected integration as a cure-all. By focusing on conservative Black women during the civil rights era, this chapter highlights the myriad of political ideologies that have always existed within Black communities. This diversity of political expression, however, has not always been fully delineated by scholars. Almost all of the leading scholarship of the conservative 1 Zora Neale Hurston, “Court Order Can’t Make Races Mix,” Orlando Sentinel, August 11, 1955.
