A billionaire real estate developer has given $200 million to the University of Michigan—with the mandate that all of the money goes to the business school and the athletic department. Congrats on some shitty philanthropy, asshole.

Last February, Oberlin College in Ohio ground to a halt, canceling classes and holding campus-wide meetings when a figure wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood was spotted near the college's African Heritage House following weeks of racist signs being posted on campus. As it turned out, the shadowy figure was just a person wearing a blanket. But the signs and graffiti were part of a strange, month-long racist hoax perpetrated by Oberlin students, and documented in a thoroughly bizarre police report we recently obtained.

Yesterday, when the Syrian Electronic Army hacked the New York Times, it was a development of great importance. Over the weekend, when a university hospitality web site was hacked in defense of hungry Canadian Juggalos, the hack was of very little significance. But it was still pretty funny.

"All 25,000 people who took the entrance exam for the University of Liberia failed this year."

Thanks to some misguided moral philosophy and some excellent lobbying work, it is now almost impossible to discharge your student loans in bankruptcy. They haunt you forever, like the souls of those you've killed. As our national student loan debt balloons further into crisis territory, it become ever clearer that we need to change that rule.

NYU President John Sexton, who oversaw the school’s underfunded expansion into the United Arab Emirates and China (and even more of lower Manhattan), will step down in 2016. No word on whether he’ll have to relinquish his subsidized Fire Island beach house.

Dartmouth College, the lily-white investment banking camp of the Ivy League, prides itself on its purposely insular and routinely violent fraternities. These two features magically combined last month when Animal House inspiration Alpha Delta decided to throw an enormous “Bloods and Crips”-themed party. Now they’re very, very, very sorry.

Law school, long a cushy institution that charged steep prices in exchange for steeper rewards, is seeing its popularity crumble along with the job prospects of law school graduates. Now, it seems, the crisis's claws are sinking into the most vulnerable victims: law school professors.

One of America's strangest educational rituals—assessing which of our nation's fucked-up college students get the most fucked up—is upon us again. And this year, Iowa City's University of Iowa has been picked by the Princeton Review as the drunkest and raging-est institute of higher learning the United States has to offer. Congratulations, U of I! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!

Just when you think that the state of Alabama has taken the summer off from providing fodder for desperate bloggers, Troy University— a public university, based in Alabama— goes and announces it's opening a brand new dorm just for Christians.

The field of academic philosophy is plagued by sexism, like most institutions in America. Now, a high profile philosophy sex scandal reveals the most dangerous part of this situation: the ability to turn a salacious sex scandal into an impenetrable philosophical argument.

When the violence, strife, and cold-blooded realpolitik world of international relations starts to get you down, take heart in this truth: no matter where you go— from Kansas City to Kabul— college kids will be angry, shouty, and dumb.

An entire generation of Americans has been sold the idea of higher education as a panacea for all ills. That generation of Americans is now shackled with giant and unsustainable levels of student debt. And now, it appears that the big college tidal wave has crested, and is beginning to crash down.

If you've ever idly wondered how it is that America has so many "for profit colleges" raking in so much money while offering the shittiest of educations to the most vulnerable students, here is a simple explanation.

In the case of Joseph Corlett vs. Oakland University, a judge has finally ruled: no, telling your college professor in writing that she is "stacked" and gives you a boner is not speech legally protected by the First Amendment.

A big new annual survey on how Americans pay for college is out today, and the trend lines are clear: families are finding ways to kick in less for school, and nobody's bearing the brunt of the trend more than black students.

Penn State is requiring employees to get a "biometric screening, including a 'full lipid profile' and glucose, body mass index and waist circumference measurements" or pay a $100 monthly insurance surcharge. Penn State's president is Benito Mussolini.

Mitch Daniels! Remember him? Used to be governor of Indiana, mused about running for President, big favorite of the Republican establishment. He's now the president of Purdue University. Turns out he also tried his best to ban some books!
