The bill, titled the College Employment Accountability Act, would specifically amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to "prohibit an institution of higher education that employs unauthorized aliens from receiving funds from federal student assistance or federal institutional aid"
Institutions of higher education would have to participate in the E-Verify Program, which is a federal program that checks the immigration status of all employees, in order to receive federal funds under the bill.
Do universities hire a lot of "illegal aliens?"
They must be unfamiliar with HR protocols in colleges, private and public, where all potential employees have to provide evidence that they are either US citizens or green-card holders authorized to work in the US. There's a name for these one-page forms. Brains seem to be travelling south along the human spine these days!
I-9 forms--my newest RA just had to turn theirs in to get on the payroll! But the point of the legislation might be that ALL institutions don't use the form and to make a unified requirement?--Giving Vance the benefit of the doubt since I do not know the HR policies of all institutions.

Lucy Calkins, a leading literacy expert, has rewritten her curriculum to include a fuller embrace of phonics and the science of reading. Critics may not be appeased.
There were several reports, mostly negative, on the Calkins/Columbia approach. Just google Columbia, phonics.

I think one has to be a bit of a narcissist to decide to become a college President. The question is whether the person is good at controlling these impulses.
Or, as the saying goes, the higher a monkey climbs, the better you can see its behind.
This is even more the case when it comes to leading a country. What makes a person think "The best person to lead the entire nation is ME."? By definition, it requires a person who has a pretty elevated self-conception.
I always theorized this is somewhat true even at the faculty level. Maybe narcissistic is not exactly right, but I feel there is a disproportionate level of crazy among faculty. I have always wondered if the system is selecting for it, or inducing it.
