Blog: Higher Ed Gamma A now forgotten turn-of-the-20th-century song, “Do You Believe Your Baby or Your Eyes?” apparently gave birth to one of that century’s most famous witticisms. If you are caught red-handed in an undeniably awkward, embarrassing or illicit situation, one way out is to beg for trust. No need to confess or apologize or be humiliated.

Current tenure-track faculty members are up to 25 more times likely to have a parent with a Ph.D. than the general population, according to a new study in Nature: Human Behavior. This rate nearly doubles at highly selective institutions and has remained stable for 50 years. The study involved combining national-level data on education, income and university rankings with a 2017–2020 survey of 7,204 U.S.

Blog: Beyond Transfer Millions of community college students are pursuing their higher education journeys right now. Many aspire to transfer to a four-year college or university. But if trends hold, just a fraction of them will make the jump–especially to a selective institution. Now that we can look at data from the fall 2017 cohort, we see just three percent of community college transfer students enrolled at selective schools.
