Since 2020, the Money on the Left Editorial Collective has been arguing for a new approach to university finance that we call the ‘uni’ proposal. Below are links to our essays and interviews related to this project, plus a reference to Cory Doctorow’s speculative 2023 novel The Lost Cause.

Why is mathematics education failing some of the world’s most talented children?
A study shines a light on the remarkable arithmetic skills that young people acquire outside formal schooling. Education must evolve to enable them to fulfil their potential.

“We would like to see this data in Illinois,” Galvin said. “If policy were to change at the [U.S. Department of Education], we would lose all data about how schools are interacting with law enforcement, and that is really concerning to us.”

Hoping to “Trump Proof” Students’ Civil Rights, Illinois Lawmakers Aim to End Police Ticketing at School

When Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter moved to DC in 1977, they enrolled their 9-year-old daughter Amy at a public school founded in 1868 for Black children and named after abolitionist Thaddeus Stevens.
Carter remains the only president since Teddy Roosevelt to send a child to public school in DC.

‘Enigmatic’ cave art was made by ice age children
Charcoal doodling appears 14,000 years ago, as adults drew more proficiently nearby 🏺🧪

In their own corner of the cave kids seem to have etched a series of doodles that wouldn’t be out of place in kindergarten class.

Cafeteria melees. Students kicked in the head. Injured educators. Cellphones and social media have increasingly fueled and sometimes intensified campus brawls. The school fight videos then often spark new cycles of student cyberbullying, verbal aggression and violence.

Yesterday, student debtors went to DC to demand Biden cancel student debt. A 71 y/o woman joined us.
No one from the Ed Dept would meet with her — or any of our older debtors. Her new loan statement was in the mail when she got home today.
Her balance is $656,542.80.
She borrowed ~$60k in 1985.

Fascinating paper on where 6000 global elites went to college. Billionaires, CEOs, heads of state, central bankers, etc.
In a word: Harvard.
Fully 10% of global elites went to Harvard. Elite US schools are over-represented (23% IvyPlus), but nobody comes close to Harvard.
