We need to dispel the notion that there is some conflict between getting a liberal arts education and getting a job. Nothing prepares students better for an ever-changing economy that the liberal arts.
First in Vermont. Third in the nation. Zippia rankings show Castleton University is an excellent investment when it comes to finding a job after college. pos.li/2g6wf4

The wrestling program at Castleton (@CastletonSports) is still relatively new and hugely successful. Kudos to these student athletes and to Coach Legacy, an apt name for a man creating a legacy at Castleton.

This is a reasonable measure of how Americans perceive other nations' opinions of us, but it should not be confused as a measure of how the rest of the world actually perceives the US.
Only about one-quarter of Americans, 27%, think the U.S. is as respected throughout the world as it was three years ago, while 67% say it is not.

From our latest survey: roughly 9 in 10 Americans think that, if reelected, Trump would try to detain and deport millions of undocumented immigrants. cnn.com/2024/02/05/politics/…
One argument against allowing states to leave Trump off the ballot is that it requires Congressional action.
But doesn't the prohibition on bills of attainder prevent Congress from deciding Trump is an insurrectionist?
I don't think we should read into these numbers to find whether voters prefer Trump to Biden, or vise versa, but we can see where Biden has lost the most support.

And imagine if a college education was widely perceived as affordable for Vermont working class families.

Rather than meet with students, faculty, and staff (as wehavepleaded), @VermontStateU Board members are using op eds to justify their positions.

Long drive home from @VermontStateU student press conference in Montpelier, listening to @vermontpublic as I do.
Heard a story about a small NH college closing, but no report of VTSU, unless I missed it.

Our students have been shouting all day, first at a Board Meeting and then at a press conference. They deserve to have their story reported. This is about access to higher education for Vermonters.
I love listening to @vermontpublic but I sometimes think that they are elitist. They have never covered Castleton much, but to ignore what is happening to @VermontStateU is missing a story about class, opportunity, and keeping young people in VT.
