New: It’s been a season of angst, determination, and fear in admissions since the Supreme Court’s decision last June. Here’s my snapshot 1 year later. chronicle.com/article/a-year…

A Texas A&M professor sent a few emails about Black History Month. Months later, a conservative outlet published some of those messages. Amid the fallout, she resigned. Here's what it feels like to be the target of an anti-DEI campaign. @chronicle tinyurl.com/4bb7nknf

What it feels like to be the target of an anti-DEI campaign. A freakin’ terrific story by a @chronicle rock star. tinyurl.com/4bb7nknf @GretzingerErin

My story: How #FAFSA delays, errors, and just-discovered data discrepancies are making it hard for financial-aid officers to do their jobs. tinyurl.com/4t3sw3u5

SCOOP: Documents obtained by @chronicle offer an inside look into the UW System's DEI deal that exchanged staff raises for cuts to DEI positions & programs. The initial failure to pass the deal left the system's president doubting his credibility to lead. shorturl.at/ruAN1

Scoop: Two years ago, a Western civ center got started on UF's campus. Now, six profs are under investigation to determine if they "interfered" with its plans. And at least one department chair was asked to pledge to cooperate with the center: chronicle.com/article/u-of-f…

My latest: For families with no way to complete the FAFSA right now, the application is what it has always been — a barrier. tinyurl.com/35fxxn3j

Riding the coattails of a victory to curb diversity programs at public universities, Wisconsin Republicans have now proposed a constitutional amendment that would prohibit all governmental entities from using "preferential treatment" in hiring. @chronicle chronicle.com/article/wiscon…

Last October, @UWSystem closed one two-year campus and ended in-person instruction at two others. My latest @chronicle examines how WI's decades-long pattern of evading tough decisions led to this moment & the consequences of putting off change. chronicle.com/article/wiscon…

Ace reporting by @ZachSchermele (w/ docs from @meganzahneis) — we spent most of today digging through hundreds of pages of texts and emails detailing who tried to influence Kathleen McElroy's hiring at Texas A&M. Here's what we found: chronicle.com/article/who-ha…

If we learned anything from yesterday’s Texas A&M news deluge, it was just how much administrators shirked the typical faculty hiring process. But McElroy’s case is just the latest in a nat’l trend that has many faculty worried. My latest @chronicle: chronicle.com/article/who-ha…

NEW for @chronicle: @ATFHQ's annual report, out this week, gives the first official data-driven glimpse behind a string of bomb threats that put many college campuses, particularly HBCUs, on edge in recent years. w/ @danbauman77 chronicle.com/article/campus…

What’s next in college admissions after the SCOTUS decision? I’ll be moderating a @usedgov panel w experts weighing this question on Wednesday at 10:50 am ET. Virtual registration for #EqualOpportunity summit here … tinyurl.com/yck3ncf7
