Supreme Court rulings suggest higher education is only for the privileged
As a pillar of society, education serves not only in preparing tomorrow’s leaders but as an equalizer with the American ideal for students from all races/ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds to have the opportunity to receive high-quality education and a pathway out of poverty. Unfortunately, this ideal has yet to become a reality.
After the passage of California’s ban on affirmative action through Proposition 209 in 1996, racial diversity in public universities plummeted. By disregarding the potential for diverse perspectives and experiences that enrich educational settings, the rulings undermine the progress toward creating inclusive spaces where all students can learn, thrive and contribute meaningfully.

Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education freezes tuition
The Board of Governors for Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) today voted unanimously to freeze tuition for an unprecedented fifth consecutive year and applauded the General Assembly and Governor Josh Shapiro for their strong support of State System students.
With the decision, tuition for in-state undergraduate students – nearly 90% of whom are Pennsylvania residents – will be flat for six consecutive years (2018-19-2023-24). If tuition had kept pace with inflation since 2018, it would be 21% higher today.
“Freezing tuition for a fifth consecutive year has been a major priority for the State System universities to best serve our 85,000 students – many of whom are from low- and middle-income families,” said Cynthia Shapira, chair of the Board of Governors.
