Students

The Princeton Principles—endorsed by a program and some professors at the university, but not Princeton itself—say off-campus actors “should become involved” in some instances.

A new policy at historically Black Fisk University requires students to pay off debts of more than $1,500, get on a payment plan or leave. Students are pushing back.

Duke University’s “Ask Me” allergen program trains dining staff to serve as allergen experts, creating a safer environment for students with food allergies.

To further connections between curricular and experiential learning, the University of Iowa created a program to hold regular conversations between student employees and their on-campus supervisors, deepening their on-the-job learning and relationships on campus.

Helping students to disconnect involves encouraging self-reflection on technology use, no-tech class activities and apps and phone settings that provide motivation for more no-mobile-device time.

Starting off the semester on a high note requires that students understand course and classroom expectations. Professors can get the message across with these strategies.

Organizing is surging into private universities, and strikes have increased as well.

Many students are unaware of the hidden costs of higher education. Professors can help make college affordable by providing insight into the educational program and the needed equipment for the program.
