Teachers Face a Barrage of Unfair Treatment During the Pandemic

January 18, 2021/0 Comments/in Education, Teaching /by Student Research Foundation

“That’s not fair!” is a complaint that teachers are accustomed to hearing from younger students.

Today, during the pandemic, those same teachers have had to face the fact that they themselves are voicing that same complaint. This is simply a time when teachers are not being treated fairly by the institutions where they work. And interestingly, there seem to be more complaints of unfair treatment in schools where some students have physically returned to their classrooms. Read more

Study Finds that Most Students Are Too Optimistic about Their Majors’ Earning Potential

January 11, 2021/0 Comments/in Career Pathways, College Major /by Student Research Foundation

How much money can you expect to earn after you complete the coursework for your major and graduate college? Do you really know what your earning potential will be?

According to “Labor Market Expectations and Major Choice for Low-Income, First-Generation College Students: Evidence from an Information Experiment,” a study conducted in 2017 by Alexander I. Ruder (University of South Carolina and Rutgers) and Michelle Van Noy (Rutgers), many students, especially those who come from lower income backgrounds, are overly optimistic about how much they will earn. Ruder and Van Noy polled 2,965 students and determined that students who grew up in financially disadvantaged circumstances were especially prone to overestimate the potential earnings that their major and college degree would enable them to earn.

Will 2021 Be a Good or Bad Year to Transfer Colleges?

January 6, 2021/0 Comments/in College Admissions, College Degrees, Student Research Foundation Research /by Student Research Foundation

The idea of transferring from one college to another has always been on students’ minds, and chances are it always will. Students who are just starting their first college year think, “Well, if things don’t work out at the college I have chosen, I can always transfer.” And students who are in their second, third or later years of college think of transferring too, for many reasons. Some would like to transfer to a college that offers stronger instruction in their chosen major. Others transfer for financial reasons. The list of reasons is a large and as varied as students are.

Why College Could Become Even Further Beyond the Reach of Underprivileged Students

December 31, 2020/1 Comment/in College Admissions, Education, Paying for College /by Student Research Foundation

“What this means is that the American Dream for many low-income students has been deferred, perhaps permanently. Young people not born to well-off families will not surpass their parents in income and home ownership, they will not surge into promising careers, and they will not trust the American system to do right by them.”
