The University of Vermont announced on September 9 a Regional Tuition Break that drops annual tuition to $30,240 for incoming undergraduates who are permanent residents of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, or Rhode Island. UVM values the cut at more than $18,000 a year, or better than 35% off what non-residents normally pay at the school. The new rate starts with the fall 2027 entering class and applies to first-time first-year students and transfers. It covers 31 majors (close to a third of UVM’s undergraduate catalog) spread across the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Education and…
The University of Notre Dame will require SAT or ACT scores from undergraduate applicants beginning with the 2027-28 admissions cycle, the university announced on September 9. The requirement covers first-year and transfer applicants seeking to enroll in Fall 2028, which puts today’s high school juniors in the first affected class. Students applying this fall for Fall 2027 enrollment stay under the current test-optional rules. Micki Kidder, Notre Dame’s vice president for undergraduate enrollment, described a score as one input rather than a gate: “A test score, evaluated in full context of an applicant’s circumstances, is an additional measure to aid…

The Federal Reserve’s G.19 consumer credit release published September 8 put outstanding student loan debt at $1,858.2 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2026. That is up $55.6 billion from $1,802.6 billion a year earlier, a 3.1% increase. This is also the first time the national student loan balance has gone above $1.85 trillion. Total consumer credit grew at a 4.2% seasonally adjusted annual rate in July to $5.19 trillion. Federally held consumer credit (Direct Loans, Perkins, and Ed-held FFEL) was $1,605.6 billion, roughly flat since March, even as millions of borrowers move onto new repayment plans.…
Key Points U.S. 15-year-olds tied for 10th out of 91 school systems in reading. They tied for 23rd in math and placed 13th in science. U.S. reading scores fell 14 points in three years. That is close to the worst American showing since the test started in 2000. Only 31% of U.S. students go to a school that bans phones. Across other wealthy high-performing countries, half of students do. American 15-year-olds tied for 10th out of 91 worldwide school systems in reading on the 2025 PISA exam, released September 8. In math, they tied for 23rd. Science was the bright…
The checkbox looks like the whole test: move the pointer, press once, and wait for a green tick. When Google introduced No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA in December 2014, however, the visible click sat on top of an advanced risk-analysis system that considered a user’s engagement before, during and after the widget. Google said a significant number of users would be able to verify themselves with one click. It also made clear that users would still receive a CAPTCHA challenge whenever the risk-analysis engine could not confidently classify a request. That is more complicated than the familiar explanation that humans wobble while…
I did something pretty bold back in 2017 – I sold my car and started using Uber and Lyft to get everywhere I need to go. I’d been toying with the idea of ride-sharing everywhere, but honestly, it’s a little scary to think about. After running an Uber vs. Owning A Car scenario over and over again, my wife and I decided it was worth it. Nearly a decade later, we’re still a one-car family.To frame the picture for you clearly, when I started this experiment, I was working 5 days a week about 5 miles from my home. My…
Indianapolis Public Schools can hand out zeros again. On August 27, 2026, the Board of School Commissioners unanimously passed Resolution No. 8111 (PDF File), amending Board Policy 5421 and ending the district’s six-year-old no-zero rule for grades 1 through 12. The policy changes exactly one thing in the grading table: the F band moves from “50-59%” to “0-59%.” That single edit reopens a debate around grade inflation nationally, and it sits behind reports that high GPAs are masking weak college-level math skills. Under the revised policy, students who make a real attempt still earn at least 50%. A zero is…
