 Dear reader,
In the midst of bleak times, looking ahead is essential. But with so much uncertainty, how can higher education anticipate demand for the jobs of the future? We explore that question in a new story that describes how colleges and universities are already being encouraged to plan for areas of growth and supply and to help Americans learn the skills they’ll need to withstand the recession.
At the same time, colleges are wrestling with their role in perpetuating racial and economic inequality. Some of those conversations are taking place on Twitter, with a new hashtag, #BlackIntheIvory. You can find more of our coverage on race and equity, along with all our special reports, gathered in a new section. Stay healthy, and, as always, tell us what is on your mind.
