  5. A society that turns away from science, fails to treat the human capital and skills of its work force as paramount social objectives and does not aspire to attract the most able from around the world is one that courts long-run decline.

  6. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 📝📊 The #SAT was first administered to 8,000 students in June 1926, born from #WorldWarI #military I.Q. tests designed by #Princeton psychologist and eugenicist Carl Brigham.

    Now taken by two million #students annually, fewer than 10% of U.S. #colleges require it for fall 2026 admissions, a shift accelerated by the #Covid #pandemic and long standing debates about what the test actually measures. The article traces the test’s #evolution from a tool that helped break into the old boys’ network of elite colleges to an #exam whose scores strongly correlate with family #income.

  8. #Yale Report Finds #Colleges Deserve Blame for #HigherEducation’s Problems
    A 10-member committee offered a brutal assessment of academia’s role in creating the forces challenging American colleges and #universities.
    High costs, murky admissions practices, uneven academic standards and fears about free speech on campuses, the committee said, are among the reasons for widening discontent over higher education’s worthiness.
