Author discusses book on grad school

Graduate school is a great mystery to students, and to some faculty members, says Jessica McCrory Calarco, the author of A Field Guide to Grad School: Uncovering the Hidden Curriculum (Princeton University Press). Calarco is an associate professor of sociology at Indiana University. She believes many faculty members (as well as graduate students, of course) will benefit from her book. She responded to questions via email. Q: How did you get the idea to write this book? Why did the issue speak to you? A: This book started as a tweet . Or, rather, as a series of tweets about the hidden curriculum of higher ed. Ph.D. student Kristen K. Smith had tweeted about the need to better educate undergrads about grad school opportunities, and it made me think about how opportunities in academe are often hidden from grad students, as well.

This collaborative effort with many other teachers and members of our school staff has provided a good opportunity to curate as well as present instruc...

Texas Judge Grants Out-of-State Students a Tuition Break

In a case that could have significant consequences for higher education in Texas, a federal judge ruled that out-of-state students cannot be charged higher tuition than undocumented immigrants. The ruling came down Friday in a case that pitted the Young Conservatives of Texas Foundation against the University of North Texas. The Texas Tribune reported that the University of North Texas has already appealed and other university systems are watching the case closely. The University of North Texas has argued that such a ruling could cost the college millions of dollars. A state law, established in 2001, allows an undocumented immigrant who lives in Texas for three years and graduates from a Texas high school to pay in-state tuition rates. Plaintiffs argued, successfully, that out-of-state students shouldn’t be charged higher prices than undocumented immigrants under the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. The law states , “an alien who is not law...
