Who Can Apply: Many Vietnamese Americans face unique challenges shaped by economic hardship, familial responsibility, and cultural expectations. As the generation of Vietnamese refugees who sacrificed everything for the hope of freedom begins to pass on, it is more important than ever to preserve the culture, history, and values they held dear. Their legacy lives on in the stories, traditions, and aspirations of their children and grandchildren. This scholarship aims to honor those sacrifices by empowering Vietnamese-American students to carry forward their heritage with pride — preserving the identity, values, and spirit of a people who refused to let freedom…

Under repeated threats to their funding, higher ed institutions began to rebrand or shut down cultural centers, Black student resource centers and LGBTQ+ and women’s programs. Many campus diversity officers lost their jobs or were shuffled off to other offices, barred from doing much of the work they were hired for. Some institutions scrapped celebrated traditions such as affinity graduations and campus residential communities geared toward students of certain racial or ethnic backgrounds. Some student groups, like Esperanza, lost university funding because of their identity-based missions. In one recent example, the University of Alabama ended two student publications, one focused…

Sign up for The 74 Newsletter Thanksgiving was still on the horizon when 7-year-old Reagan Fletcher handed her mom, Kael, a Christmas list to send to the North Pole. Scribbled in green marker, Reagan’s list already began with selfless requests: for her best friend to move back and a classmate to recover from a broken wrist. Then, the usuals: an iPad and boots.

Over the decades, Tom Jones has per­formed with the best of them. In 1969, we can find him singing “Long Time Gone” with Cros­by, Stills, Nash & Young, and tak­ing them delight­ful­ly by sur­prise. The same goes for his duet with Janis Joplin in that same year. Now fast for­ward to the 1990s. In this decade, Jones teamed up with the Swedish rock band The Cardi­gans and per­formed a rol­lick­ing ver­sion of the Talk­ing Heads “Burn­ing Down the House.” And, rather unex­pect­ed­ly, he would get paired with Pink Floy­d’s David Gilmour and croon Prince’s “Pur­ple Rain.” The record­ing above comes from…

And if they do, they aren’t taking publicly about it. For years, students could borrow essentially unlimited funds to pay for graduate education, thanks to a program known as Grad PLUS that capped loans at the cost of attendance. Republicans in Congress and other critics have argued that colleges took advantage of this program and raised their prices, fueling the student debt crisis. Loans for grad students make up nearly…

Dive Brief: The U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Minneapolis Public Schools on Tuesday for its teacher union agreement, which the department alleges racially discriminates because of its diversity efforts, including those aimed at recruiting and retaining Black men.  The lawsuit challenges the bargaining agreement’s “Anti-Bias Anti-Racist Staff Development and Advisory Council,” which is a district-wide initiative to support educators of color. The contract also requires that the district involuntarily reassigns or lays off teachers based on seniority unless a…
