Western Michigan's Law School Cuts Tuition

While several highly selective law schools for the first time are charging more than $100,000 per year in total cost of attendance, Western Michigan University's Cooley Law School this week announced that it was reducing tuition rates beginning next year from $1,750 per credit hour to $1,375, a decline of 21 percent. The law school is also closing its campus in Auburn Hills, Mich., and reducing the size of its Lansing campus.

And many kids face new schools and a new set of rules for how to act, both socially and academically. But middle school doesn’t have to be like this. It could be okay. It could be good , even. After all, middle schoolers are “kind of the best people on Earth,” says Mayra Cruz, the principal of Oyster-Adams Bilingual School, a public middle school in Washington, D.C. The notion that middle school deserves its own educational ecosystem at all dates back to the 1960s , with a campaign to better accommodate the specific learning ne...

West Virginia State’s Cabinet Asks for President’s Removal

Most members of the cabinet of West Virginia State University president Nicole Pride, in office less than a year, have called for her to be removed, The Charleston Gazette-Mail reported. “Condescending and abusive dialogue are common in exchanges with Dr. Pride,” the cabinet members wrote to the university's board. “Her harassing dialogue and bullying behavior have contributed to a ‘hostile work environment.’ Her executive leadership team has continued to dwindle as a result of a psychologically unsafe and chaotic work environment.” Pride did not return calls seeking a comment.
