Placement tests put many students into math maze instead of pathways to success

Some CSU campuses have found less disruptive solutions to the valid concern about the adequacy of students’ mathematics preparation. Cal State Northridge, for example, has designed a “corequisite” pathway: Rather than a remedial prerequisite preceding College Algebra, for example, the campus allows students who don’t pass their screening test to enroll in College Algebra, while simultaneously taking a one-unit add-on course to help them succeed. This approach allows students to move forward in their math pathways – and it doesn’t apply to students enrolling in statistics courses. - EdSource

With the confirmation of new Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, who has not yet stated her support for the 2011 Title IX language about the role of colleges and universities to prevent sexual assaults, it is more important than ever for all institutions of higher education to send a clear signal to Washington, D.C., that we will not and cannot retreat from the progress made in combating sexual violence on our campuses. -- High Beam Research

Retired lawyer’s passion for Old West’s military history leads to book

A Probably as a kid — you go back to what kind of movies you liked. I liked Westerns, the cavalry and movies about cowboys and Indians. I think that’s where it started. When I got to college and was bored being stuck in the school library. I started pulling books off the shelves. Some of the books were inspiring to me. I had an amazing professor, (Beth) Lomax Hawes, she sang with Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger as a young woman. Her father was a folklorist. She taught at the anthropology department (at California State University Northridge). Anyway, I interested her in me writing a term paper about the music of the U.S. Army during the American Indian Wars. That kind of began the interest. -- Marin Independent Journal
