Furloughed

After three years as a weekly column for Inside Higher Ed’s “Admissions Insider” newsletter, Ethical College Admissions is returning to its previous home for the foreseeable future.

Consider this part of the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.  ECA has been furloughed, a small sacrifice compared to the millions of Americans who have lost jobs and businesses over the past three months.  We hope that the economy may recover to a degree that will allow us to continue our partnership with Scott Jaschik and the folks at Inside Higher Ed, because it’s been a good one. 

Three years ago, back before Rick Singer was a household name, before the Department of Justice decided that it should be spending its time investigating NACAC, and before the future of standardized testing (and perhaps higher education as we know it) came into question, I wondered how I would ever find enough material to write a weekly column year round.  That hasn’t proved to be a problem, and I’m proud of my body of work and grateful for my readers who will now have to find this site.

I will continue to write about the intersection of ethics and college admission, just not weekly, and I may take the summer off unless there is an issue that demands analysis.  For the big issues I will still seek Inside Higher Ed as an avenue.

Thanks for reading, and please spread the word.
