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…
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 Varying Impacts of Merit-Aid Policy Design on Enrollment, Retention, and Graduation at Public Four-Year Colleges and Universities
This study examines whether and which aspects of statewide merit-aid policies influence students’ enrollment, retention, and completion outcomes at public four-year institutions, before exploring the influence of discontinuing merit aid on student outcomes. Using a novel dataset capturing details of merit-based aid policies for public four-year institutions over nearly two decades, we find suggestive evidence that merit-aid adoption is related to…
The invasive woodwasp Sirex noctilio Fabricius threatens pine forest carbon storage in China under climate change
Forests play a crucial role in mitigating global climate change by absorbing and sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide. However, the spread of invasive pests poses a significant threat to these ecosystems and dynamics of carbon storage. Sirex noctilio Fabricius, an invasive woodwasp, has recently emerged as a risky forestry pest in China; yet, the carbon storage risk (CSR) posed by its invasion remains poorly understood. This study integrated a…
‘Buddha’ in different contexts
Manichaeism was a world religion and the Manichaean community preached in multiple languages. In Middle Persian and Parthian (two dialects of Middle Iranian) texts from Central Asia, we see the proper name ‘Buddha’ attested a few times. In Chinese texts, however, especially in the Hymnscroll, which preserves a large number of Chinese translations of the Middle Iranian hymns, ‘Buddha’ has become the most frequently used term to address various god…

Older Adult Representations, Stereotypes, and Interpersonal Competence in Christmas Television
Recognizing the need to monitor the television depictions of older adults (OAs) we used social cognitive theory to study OA representations, stereotypes, and appearances in the understudied genre of Christmas television, specifically Hallmark Christmas movies (N = 50). We extended social cognitive theory to understand the effect of positive stereotypes on older adults’ appearances by employing interpersonal competence theory and coding OA interac…
Preparing for the STEM Pathways? Dual Enrollment and College Major Choice in STEM
Guided by the STEM pathway model, our study hypothesizes that dual enrollment can serve as an effective strategy to improve and equalize college students’ access to STEM programs. We analyzed a nationally representative dataset to disaggregate the influence of dual enrollment course-taking (i.e. participation, dual credits in Math/Science, number of dual credits) on students’ STEM major selection, with a focus on traditionally underrepresented st…
Examining the Influence of Texas’ Strategic Plan for Increasing University Research
States have adopted a variety of policies to encourage universities to expand research production, with the hope of supporting economic growth and competitiveness. This paper considers whether a state-level initiative succeeded in influencing university-based research outputs among regional public universities. We test whether the Texas Research Incentive Program increased research production at a set of state universities as measured by total re…
New Sogdian Fragment of the Avalokiteśvaraikādaśamukhadhāraṇī from the Tuyoq Grottoes in Turfan
During the excavation of the Tuyoq Grottoes from 2015 to 2016, a new Sogdian frament was unearthed. This paper aims to provide an edition of the Sogdian fragment and to identify it with the Chinese parallels in the Taishō Tripiṭaka
Emerging adults' preferred surnames
Surname practices in the U.S. are believed to reflect and reinforce the enduring patriarchal nature of U.S. society. Yet, some women and men reject patriarchal expectations. Calls for research accounting for such individual variations have been made. We examine the role that dispositional differences play in preferences for and reasoning about marital surnames in a sample of U.S. heterosexual women and men. With an online survey, we examined 799 …

Does Delivery Location Matter? A National Study of the Impact of Dual Enrollment on College Readiness and Early Academic Momentum
Background/Context Although dual enrollment (DE) programs have indicated positive impact on various high school and postsecondary outcomes, access to DE programs remains unequal; historically marginalized students are less likely than other students to attempt college credits in high school. Despite DE being a widely adopted program at the state level, these programs vary greatly by eligibility criteria, funding models, delivery location, and mod…

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 …
A National Study of the Financial Implications of Community College Baccalaureate Adoption
Community college baccalaureate (CCB) degree programs have become increasingly popular in recent years, with over 100 community colleges in 24 states currently offering at least one bachelor’s degree program. Despite the growing prevalence of CCB degree programs, the financial implications of CCB adoption remain largely unknown. This study leverages a novel national dataset and employs a difference-in-differences regression approach to examine th…
The Price of Mission Complexity
The traditional mission of community colleges is rooted in the provision of sub-baccalaureate education at a low price, but a total of 19 states have changed their legislative policies and currently allow community colleges to offer community college baccalaureate (CCB) degree programs. This study examines the impact of CCB adoption on the tuition and fees at CCB-adopting institutions. We leverage a novel national dataset and employ a difference-…
