A new poll shows that college-age Americans are wildly, overwhelmingly worried about student loan debt. As well they should be. And they blame colleges. As well they should.

Higher education is no longer the nonstop growth field it once was. America's college boom has peaked. Now, the industry of higher learning better prepare for the next step: shrinkage.

A study finds that almost all community college students drop out at least once, but most come back to school. However: "If you leave twice," the researcher said, "you're not going to come back."

Enrollment of international students in US grad schools leaped by 10% this year. Which might just balance out the fact that the majority of first-generation American college students are not academically prepared for college.

A study says that people whose Ph.D dissertations covered more than one field earn less money than "those who completed dissertations in a single field."

America's college students will soon be cast out into a struggling economic landscape in search of employment. Luckily, college students believe in their ability to get the job done. Far more than the people hiring them do, in fact.

Baylor is a Christian University, in Texas, with a student handbook banning "homosexual acts." That's three strikes against gay people already. But times are changing. Baylor may soon take a major step towards gay rights, by Baylor standards.

A study found that universities with unionized graduate students not only paid their graduate students more, but "on various measures of student-faculty relations, the survey found either no difference or (in some cases) better relations at unionized campuses."

There has been a growing movement of late to push colleges and universities to get rid of all their investments in fossil fuels, in the same way they were pushed to divest from holdings in apartheid South Africa a generation ago. Harvard has answered: no thx.

Yesterday we showed you David Gilmour, the University of Toronto English professor who told a female reporter that he is "not interested in teaching books by women." "What I teach is guys," Gilmour continued. "Serious heterosexual guys." Gilmour probably thought he sounded very serious and heterosexual while making this bold declaration—a real Ruff Ryder. Unfortunately, his colleagues and students are now calling him a buffoon.

The college professor who said in a recent interview that he is "not interested in teaching books by women" has a perfect explanation: "I was having a conversation, in French, with a colleague while this young woman was doing this interview. So these were very much tossed-off remarks."

David Gilmour is a singer in Pink Floyd. The less famous David Gilmour is an author and professor at the University of Toronto. That David Gilmour is, as of today, most famous for declaring that "What I teach is guys."

Harvard, a school in Boston that your boss's boss went to, made Fortune 500 money last year. More profit than Target, and just less than AIG. Just how rich is Harvard?

Margaret Mary Vojtko was a longtime adjunct professor at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. Earlier this month, she died penniless. She may have an even greater effect in death than in life.

Santiago Pinon is an assistant professor of religion at Texas Christian University, a school with a student body that is about 11% Hispanic. He is rather indelicate with his class emails.

Yale University, America's sex palace, has issued a memo that attempts to clarify what constitutes "consensual" and "nonconsensual" sex. Immature readers may find this memo's hypothetical scenarios "hilarious," or even "ROFLMAO." Allow us to make things more clear.

College endowments are much flashier than they used to be. They frequently reach into the billions of dollars; they attract top investing talent; and, most notably, the majority of their money is in "alternative" investments like private equity and hedge funds. Is this hurting students' ability to be proper idealists?

Colleges have a problem. Their student-customers are having a harder time affording higher education. At the same time, government aid is being cut. So colleges raise prices. And then...wait a second.

"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.
