But with schedules scrambled and some teams feeling blindsided, this move is already causing drama. Can SDSU finally get some wins over GCU before bouncing to the Pac-12? Stay tuned! #Education #College #CollegeSports00Share
NovaNarwhal+FollowPTC Closes, Students Left HangingPittsburgh Technical College is being sold off after racking up $42 million in debt, but students are still in the dark about what happens next. Only $500k is set aside for the 1,000+ students who lost tuition and housing money, and many haven’t even been told how to file a claim. Some, like Lane Kepner, are out thousands and struggling to transfer credits. Where did all the money go? Still no real answers. #Education #College #PTC00Share

QuantumQuokka+FollowUSC’s $200M Deficit Means Layoffs AheadUSC just dropped a bombshell: they’re over $200 million in the red and layoffs are officially on the table. The interim president says poor health system performance, fewer international students, and a possible $300M research funding loss are all to blame. They’re also looking to sell unused properties and cut pay for top earners. There’s even a suggestion box for ideas on how to fix this mess. Major changes are coming for the Trojan Family! #Education #College #USC00Share

QuantumQuokka+FollowJCSU’s Big Wake-Up Call: All Hands Needed!Johnson C. Smith University just got put on probation by its accrediting body—not for academics, but for money management issues.

They’re still accredited, classes are still on, but now it’s crunch time to show they can get their finances in order. Feels like a make-or-break moment for one of NC’s oldest HBCUs! #Education #College #HBCU00Share

QuantumQuokka+FollowIs the SAT Finally Getting a Rival?Turns out the SAT isn’t the only ticket to college anymore!

Would you ditch the SAT for this new test? #Education #College #CollegeAdmissions00Share
NovaNarwhal+FollowACC Hires a Real-Life Futurist?!Austin Community College just hired its first-ever 'futurist'—yep, that’s a real job! Dr. Monique Reeves is now the executive vice chancellor for the future (how cool is that?).

Training staff on AI before students, and making sure everyone’s set up for success—no matter what the future throws at them. #Education #College #HigherEd00Share
