The 38 States That Have Slashed Higher Education Spending
The last few years haven’t exactly been gentle to our public colleges and universities, or the students who attend them. Cash-poor state legislatures have gone to town on their higher education budgets, and as they’ve hacked away, tuition has risen along with the sums undergraduates have had to borrow. In total, 38 states cut post-secondary funding since the recession, many by more than a fifth.

A Favorite Font For Everything Elementary/Early Ed. Seeing someone’s flier made me remember an important but easy to overlook detail when printing things for kids still learning to write: a.
What does that look like on your screen? Does it look like the a we’re teaching our students/children/siblings to write? Probably not. (Now I need to check my font settings and see for myself.)
Most fonts don’t typically present letters as we teach students to write them. Lowercase t is another frequent culprit. Lowercase g can be an issue in serif fonts.
This is a font I found during my first grade student-teaching experience while making worksheets for my kids. I pass this one along in particular because of the dashed option — perfect for making your own tracing sheets.
Another decent specific one is Penmanship Print, a font that types out on its own penmanship lines (solid with the dashed center reference). The letters on this one are a bit too widely-spaced for my taste, but that’s something that can be fixed by adjusting the kerning. The lowercase m is also very narrow, especially compared to the lowercase n, but now I might just be getting nitpicky.

Harvard's Endowment Managers Made Almost As Much As All 450 Professors Combined - Business Insider 
Ron Unz of the American Conservative posits that 375-year old Harvard University has grown so rich that it is now essentially a giant hedge fund with a little school attached.
The evidence:
Harvard’s endowment is over $30 billion.
To manage this endowment, Harvard employs a platoon of hedge fund managers who are paid like, well, hedge fund managers.
In 2004, Unz reports, the top 5 of these hedge fund managers, took home $78 million in a single year.
That’s $16 million apiece.
