Rather, our findings emphasize the limitations of using RD methods to evaluate renewable aid programs like Pell, where award eligibility and size varies from year-to-year, and students near the RD cutoff have the least stable aid. Read more here: 7/7 bit.ly/4goCV69

To be clear: this doesn’t mean grant-based aid doesn’t help students. There’s a mature literature showing that grants and other measures to reduce college costs promote post-secondary enrollment, persistence, and graduation. 6/N

Excited to see my work with Monnica Chan out in @EEPAeditors. This project highlights the challenges of evaluating financial aid awards like the Pell Grant that require annual reapplication/recertification. 1/N

The July 2025 budget reconciliation bill limits #studentloans and expands the #PellGrant. These programs, however, are connected: a small Pell grant can reduce borrowing such that students face financial constraints with implications for #StudentSuccess. bit.ly/4goCV69

One more gush about this new paper: @slungaardmumma does a wonderful job describing just how *hard* it is to collect good data on what's actually happening in schools (re: the political battles du jour) in a hyper-decentralized system like ours journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/00…

Okay, I get the appeal of Mark Kelly as Kamala’s VP choice. Senator in a swing state, a former fighter pilot and astronaut. But has he written two econometrics texts and own double-digit cats? I can handle chaos!

I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one. I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one. I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them. I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him.
