What Now for Student Aid Bill? (Inside Higher Ed)
"For months, legislation to restructure the student loan programs and bolster Pell Grants, community colleges and other priorities has been held hostage as the Obama administration and Congressional leaders wrangled over health care," Inside Higher Ed reports. "Now, with Democrats having decided to push health care through Congress with or without Republican support, the possible paths forward for the student aid measure are a little clearer -- but they don't necessarily bode well for its immediate passage, according to several Congressional aides, college lobbyists, and other Congress watchers interviewed for this article."

College Students Plan Alternative Spring Breaks
Spring break is fast approaching. Some college students already have their all-inclusive vacations planned out for beach-side locations like Cancun and South Padre Island, taking the week to relax, kick back, and take a break from campus life . Others, however, have alternative plans, and hope to give back a little in the wake of a number of recent devastating natural disasters. An article in Inside Higher Ed yesterday describes the plans of David Adewumi, a Pennsylvania State University student who will join 10 of his peers on a relief trip to Haiti . They plan to spend the week of their spring break helping with minor medical care, food distribution and building shelters for those who lost their homes and livelihoods in the recent quake

Cannabis Colleges Cropping Up Across the Country
As more states continue passing medical-marijuana laws (14 and counting), it was only a matter of time before higher education would take notice. A recent article in The Chronicle of Higher Education takes a look at Oaksterdam University, an Oakland, Calif., institution that provides “quality training for the cannabis industry.” Oaksterdam (named after Oakland and Amsterdam) has been offering weekend seminars and semester-long courses since November of 2007, when a group of marijuana-legalization activists their burgeoning movement deserved a trade school. The main school exists in a 30,000-square-foot converted office building, with satellite campuses in Los Angeles, Sebastopol, Calif., and Flint, Mich. Its academic departments, which admittedly began as a “political stunt,” according to the article, now include coursework in biology , political science , horticulture, and “methods of ingestion,” a class that teaches the benefits and history of extracted medicine, the chemistry behind it, and the different extraction methods and equipment used. Although classes at the school aren’t transferable - Oaksterdam isn’t an accredited institution - that fact hasn’t seemed to hurt enrollment

Colleges Taking Closer Look at Grade Inflation
It may not make students too happy, but a number of schools across the country are taking a closer look at whether their professors are doling out marks that are a bit on the high side. According to a study conducted by the University of Oregon’s Undergraduate Council, the number of A’s given to students increased by 10 percent over a 12-year period, and the school’s overall GPA has increased by about 5 percent. The average SAT score, however, has remained the same, suggesting that students aren’t necessarily studying harder, but benefiting from grade inflation at work. In a story from news station KVAL CBS 13 in Eugene yesterday, administrators said the school needs to come up with guidelines where students are awarded grades that are reflective of their work, and where students aren’t just given a “B” for showing up on time. “If all the grades are squeezed in between B+ and A+ what are we really communicating to students about the quality of their work?” Karen Sprague, vice provost for undergraduate studies at the University of Oregon asked in the story. Princeton University has been trying to put a stop to grade inflation for six years now, with some in its student body complaining of the opposite - grade de flation. A recent article in the New York Times said students on campus were worried about other Ivy League students who perhaps didn’t have to work as hard.

Implementing New TILA Disclosures with Institutional and Non-Title IV Federal Loans
In August, the Federal Reserve Board approved final rules on Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) that revise the disclosure requirements for private education loans. Compliance with the final rules has been optional since September, but will be required starting Feb. 14, 2010. NASFAA has received additional direction from the Department on how schools should complete the self-certification form when the school is acting as the creditor. This article also discusses the timing of new TILA disclosures in regards to institutional and non-Title IV federal loans.
