The Report
A newsletter from The Hechinger Report
Liz Willen
Hi all!
Election Day brings yet another reminder of how deeply divided our country is. Not surprisingly, that divide is also starkly visible on college campuses, as Hechinger’s higher education reporter Olivia Sanchez recently
Over the last few years, clubs for college Democrats and Republicans have been frayed by the pandemic and political disagreements, she reports.
Our quest to learn more about these groups came while reporting our new College Welcome Guide ([link removed]) . It’s a trove of data on what life is like on more than 4,000 college campuses, including graduation rates, the climate for free speech, incidence of hate crimes, services for veterans and LGBTQ+ resource centers. It also shows how state laws affect college students.
Separately, we have a great tool that helps decode the real cost of a college education: Tuition Tracker ([link removed]) . And here’s yet another great way to find out what is really going on in higher education, at a time when many are frustrated by high costs and too little transparency: our new podcast with GBH news, called College Uncovered ([link removed]) .
You will learn, and you may also laugh. Regardless, we’d love to hear from you. Let us know what you think, and please remind others that the work we do is not free: It helps enormously to have new newsletter sign-ups ([link removed]) and, even more importantly, new members. ([link removed])
