The Other Half
In summer 2023, Texas launched the FAST initiative to fund free dual credit courses for high school students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Drawing on a sensemaking framework, this qualitative case study examined how ten high school dual-credit practitioners in one Texas metropolitan area understood and implemented the policy during its first year. Findings indicate that while community colleges and leaders supported implementation, hi…
Growing Outcomes in the Garden State
Objective: This study examines whether New Jersey’s state-funded merit-aid program, which was designed to benefit community college students, including first-time full-time student enrollment, associate degree completion, and transferring out. We compared STARS to programs in other states by applying a typology that categorizes state-funded merit-aid programs by whether they are designed to be inclusive of community college students. Methods: Usi…
The Dual Pillars of Dual Enrollment
Scholars consistently document a national surge of dual enrollment in the U.S., butprograms are developed at the state level and build on existing public colleges anduniversities within each state. This exploratory study examines public four-yearuniversities as providers of dual enrollment alongside geographically proximatecommunity colleges that also offer dual enrollment programs. Guided by the concept oforganizational fields, we aim to identif…
Educating for Social Responsibility
Analysing who benefits from dual enrolment in the labour market
Dual enrolment in the United States allows high school students to concurrently enrol in college-level courses, and they have been characterised as an affordable and scalable way to help students access and succeed in college. However, dual enrolment programmes can disproportionately benefit groups of students who are already highly likely to succeed in college. We use quasi-experimental matching procedures to analyse a nationally representative …

The Science of Voting
Postsecondary science education is often viewed as supporting the nation’s economic competitiveness and individual social mobility. Yet science literacy also helps voters be more informed about policy issues involving climate change, global pandemics, vaccines and preventive health, and women’s reproductive health. This article analyzes a nationally representative sample of adults from the 2016 U.S. Scientific Literacy Study to show that taking p…

A Mixed-Methods Study of How a Critical Race Theory-Informed Undergraduate Research Experience Program Provides Equitable Support for Aspiring Graduate Students
Numerous studies document the benefits of participating in undergraduate research experiences (UREs), including greater odds of enrolling in graduate school. However, there is a lack of understanding about how UREs support student success. This study examines survey and interview data from a multi-year program evaluation of a National Institutes of Health-funded biomedical training program to consider whether and how participating in a URE foster…

How can STEM disciplines support political engagement? Examining student characteristics and college experiences
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) educators have a unique opportunity to prepare voters who are knowledgeable about science-related policy issues that inevitably become election issues (Rudolph & Horibe, 2016). A substantial body of higher education literature indicates that college students learn civic values and commit to civic engagement through their curricular and co-curricular experiences (Bowman, 2011; Hurtado et al.…

The Color of Law School
Purpose: Law schools are gatekeepers to powerful positions, including US federal judicial systems and legislative branches. Although scholars have addressed underrepresentation of women and racial minorities in law schools and the legal profession, they tend to examine gender and race separately. This study is a critical quantitative analysis of law school admissions among women of color. Research Methods/Approach: We use an intersectionality fra…
Turnout for What? Do Colleges Prepare Informed Voters
One of the traditional aims of higher education is to prepare informed citizens who are civically engaged. Although many voters are underinformed, there are multiple social benefits to having an informed electorate. Therefore, colleges should aspire to not only increase student voter turnout but to prepare informed voters. In this article, I use matching procedures to account for precollege civic engagement and estimate treatment effects of takin…
Are Donations Bigger in Texas? Analyzing the Impact of a Policy to Match Donations to Texas’ Emerging Research Universities
We examine the impact of the Texas Research Incentive Program (TRIP), a state policy that offers matching funds to incentivize private-sector donations to certain public universities. We use a national dataset and employ a generalized difference-in-differences approach with matching procedures to estimate the treatment effect of TRIP on revenues at eligible institutions. Results show that TRIP is associated with increases in revenue from private …

Education, Skills, and Wage Gaps in Canada and the United States
We analyse data from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies to reveal that immigrants in Canada and the United States make over $200 less per month than native‐born workers. In the United States, immigrants disproportionately work in low‐wage occupations, leading to large mean national differences between immigrants and native workers. The wage differential disappears after accounting for education and cognitive skil…

Study objective: To evaluate whether consumption of chlorinated drinking water is associated with bladder cancer. Design: A bibliographic search was conducted and the authors selected studies evaluating individual consumption of chlorinated drinking water and bladder cancer. The authors extracted from each study risk estimates for intermediate and long term (>40 years) consumption of chlorinated water, stratified by sex when possible, and perform…
Mixed biodiversity benefits of agri‐environment schemes in five European countries
Agri‐environment schemes are an increasingly important tool for the maintenance and restoration of farmland biodiversity in Europe but their ecological effects are poorly known. Scheme design is partly based on non‐ecological considerations and poses important restrictions on evaluation studies. We describe a robust approach to evaluate agri‐environment schemes and use it to evaluate the biodiversity effects of agri‐environment schemes in five Eu…

The Integrated Plurilingual Approach
This paper presents a formative research project that is still being carried out and which aims to provide guidance to Spanish schools for adopting a new approach in teaching additional languages from a plurilingual, communicative and conceptual perspective (Cummins, 2007; Negueruela, 2008, 2013). To this purpose, a didactic model has been developed, the so-called Integrated Plurilingual Approach, which is to serve as a comprehensible scientific …

Understanding the (Sub)Baccalaureate Origins of Latina/o Doctorates in Education, Humanities, and Social Science Fields
Data from the 1980s suggested that small private colleges were the primary entry point to U.S. higher education for Latinas and Latinos who later earned doctorate degrees. However, I show that in the first decade of the 21st century, large percentages of doctorates originated at public universities and community colleges. I suggest that since the 1980s, we may have witnessed a shift in Latina and Latino higher education trajectories, which fits a…

Where do Latinas and Latinos earn social science doctorates
It is a national imperative to increase the percentage of Latinas and Latinos who earn doctorate degrees in the social sciences and who enter into faculty positions. For the purposes of this study, I focus on whether Latinas and Latinos earned their doctorates at the nation’s most research-intensive universities because those schools are uniquely equipped to prepare doctoral students for careers in academia. I find that more than 40% of Latinas a…
The Impact of Community College Baccalaureate Adoption on Associate Degree Production
Background/Context As of 2018, a total of 19 states allow at least one community college to offer baccalaureate degrees. Previous researchers have suggested that community college baccalaureate (CCB) adoption will lead to a host of unintended consequences, including decreases in associate degree production. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus of Study This study empirically examines the impact of CCB adoption on associate degree production …
Considering the need for organizational resilience at hispanic serving institutions
Prior literature on resilience in the Latina and Latino community focuses on student resilience. In this paper we argue that it is also important to consider organizational resilience among the colleges and universities that enroll large percentages of Latina and Latino students. Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) often come under undue public scrutiny, sometimes inadvertently, when policymakers evaluate MSIs using the same standards that they …
