Saying the link between height and success is significant, the School of Management and Business at Vietnam National University in Hanoi said that this year, female students less than 1.58 meters tall (5'2″) and male students less than 1.65 meters (5'3″) would not be allowed to enroll. The average height for a Vietnamese woman is 1.56 meters (5'1″), and the average height for a Vietnamese man is 1.68 meters (5'6″). Following a public outcry over the new requirements, the Ministry of Education told the university to reconsider them. The school removed the height requirements for all of its prog...

Since Hamas' attack on Israel last October and the war in Gaza that followed, college campuses across the nation have been embroiled in a series of pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel protests. In the spring, more than 100 of these protests turned into encampments. At several colleges, tent encampments devolved into spurts of violence and vandalism, and occasional clashes with police brought in to break them up. As the school year drew to a close, scenes of chaos at colleges such as Columbia and UCLA commanded national headlines. The situation became even more gripping when university administrators ...

During a podcast appearance last week, former President Donald Trump made an uncharacteristic argument. "What I will do, is you graduate from a college, I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country," he said, adding that he would even include graduates of junior colleges. A Trump campaign spokesperson quickly tempered that proposal, promising an "aggressive vetting process" that would "exclude all communists, radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, America haters and public charges." The green card offer would only apply to college...

Harvard's endowment grows faster than its annual tuition costs every year. It literally has enough money to cover the tuition for every student forever, without any financial assistance from taxpayers.

Written and starring Andrew Heaton. Writer and Host: Andrew HeatonProducer: Meredith BraggProducer: Austin BraggProducer: John CarterThe post Why Are We Funding Harvard? appeared first on Reason.com.

Events celebrating Israeli Memorial Day and Israeli Independence Day at two New York City colleges were canceled last month after school officials cited security concerns over planned protests, according to a legal letter sent last week by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), a First Amendment nonprofit, to the City University of New York (CUNY). In May, Baruch College's chapter of Hillel, a Jewish campus organization, had planned to hold an Israeli Memorial Day and Independence Day event in the Hillel building's second-floor lobby. But when other students planned to pro...

The U.S. Department of Education has jeopardized access to financial aid for millions of college students and their families—all because it failed to create a functional online form. In what is possibly the largest web-based government fumble since the rollout of HealthCare.gov in 2013, the updated Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online form has been a glitch-filled fiasco, infuriating families and universities alike. Students seeking federal loans and grants must use the FAFSA form, but it's also essential for those who don't intend to take federal money, since the vast major...

Government overspending, an activity the Biden administration has taken to a new level, has sent the country into an inflationary spiral. Through trillions of dollars in COVID-19 relief programs, infrastructure spending, vote-buying student loan forgiveness programs, and a political "Build Back Better Agenda," the White House has flooded the economy and decimated consumers' purchasing power. We're paying more and getting less for everything from energy to food. According to the House Budget Committee, the average family of four is paying around $1,143 more each month than it was in early 2021 ...
