The Financial Impact of COVID-19 on Colleges and Universities in Massachusetts
Article | MASS Live
In a report to the state's board of education, EY-Parthenon studied the 24 community colleges and state universities in Massachusetts - excluding the University of Massachusetts system, which presented its own finances. Their findings:
For community colleges across the state, net cash flow could range from negative $27 million to as low as negative $118 million in fiscal year 2021, according to the report.
For state universities, net cash flow could range from negative $74 million to negative $248 million, the worst-case scenario presented.
In the presented worst-case scenario, four community colleges and four state universities could face at least a one-month budget shortfall this upcoming fiscal year.
From Teaching Tolerance:
June 28 marks the anniversary of the start of the Stonewall uprisings. Largely led by Black and Brown trans women and gender nonconforming people of color, protesters demonstrated against routine police violence, discrimination and dehumanization. This year, we’re celebrating Pride by celebrating the intersectional history of the LGBTQ movement—and the intersectionality of current movements in support of Black lives and LGBTQ rights.
From Good Docs:
THE FIRST RAINBOW COALITION united poor blacks, whites, and Latinos to openly challenge police brutality and substandard housing in one of the most segregated cities in America. A thought-provoking film that sparks new dialogue about the 1960s and its parallels today.
From The Key podcast:
A possibly steep decline in enrollments of international students is among the wide range of disruptions U.S. colleges face this fall. To get an entrepreneurial take on what to watch in coming months, we spoke with two experts with global perspectives on higher education and ed tech.
John Fillmore is chief strategy officer for Chegg, a learning platform company formerly focused on textbook rentals, which now offers credentials, online tutoring and more. Our conversation with Fillmore also drew from his background as a former planning and research official for California.
We also spoke with Doug Becker, the founder and former CEO of Laureate Education, a large higher-education provider with a global footprint. Becker now leads Cintana, a partnership with Arizona State University to create an international network of universities.
