Student journalists can apply today join our free virtual workshop on Friday, September 18. The fall is weeks away, and Covid-19 is surging. The Chronicle is tracking developments across higher ed here. Read on for daily live updates and information. Expanding access to Wi-Fi, housing first responders, engaging kids and senior citizens — here’s who is doing what to fight the pandemic and its fallout. As colleges and universities have struggled to devise policies to respond to the quickly evolving situation, here are links to The Chronicle’s key coverage of how this worldwide health crisis is affecting campuses. A sociologist who teaches courses on race shares strategies for handling pushback and racist comments in class. Harmony on campus is hard to come by even when the stakes are lower. But internal conflicts aren’t inevitable. How an approach meant to level the playing field for students with weaker high-school preparation could help classmates stay connected during the pandemic.

Register Now UPCOMING: July 31, 2:00 p.m., ET | With support from Google Cloud and MTX Group With many colleges planning to reopen either fully or partially in just a few weeks, they are searching for effective ways to track the health of the campus community and are increasingly turning to telemedical and artificial-intelligence solutions to help. Alexander Kafka, a Chronicle senior editor, will lead a conversation about what immediate steps they are planning. Register Now UPCOMING: August 5, 2:00 p.m., ET | With support from Quest Alexander Kafka, a Chronicle senior editor, will lead a conversation about what contact tracing on campus really looks like for colleges, and how this will affect their reopening plans for the fall.

Register Now ON DEMAND: Host Jack Stripling, a veteran Chronicle writer, is joined by a panel of presidents from across sectors to discuss institutional stewardship and morale.

With support from: Workday Watch on demand Four professors debate the erosion of faculty power and the fight for the future of higher education. Our searchable list, now with cumulative analysis, tracks whether institutions expect to have in-person or online-only classes or some mix of the two. Tell us what your campus is doing. The Chronicle’s executive-compensation database includes the latest salary information, plus years of data, on more than 1,400 chief executives at more than 600 private colleges and nearly 270 public universities and systems. Colleges with a good share of women in STEM fields, including nursing, can end up having higher average salaries for female full professors than for men. Don’t let the complexities of the fall semester amid Covid-19 overwhelm all the good things that drove you to your discipline in the first place. The fall semester promises to be as stressful as the spring. What can you do as a department chair to lead in a compassionate way? Senior faculty members tend to replicate themselves in the people they hire and mentor. That has to stop. How do you create online or hybrid courses with an ethos of inclusion and equity embedded throughout? No one in higher education can afford to be complacent. Cultural, demographic, and economic forces are changing the world around and on campuses, challenging long-held beliefs and upending traditions. This special report on five major trends in higher education — and other emergent changes to be aware of — will help you chart a path. One potential measure of reach is in online sharing: posts on Twitter, blog links, and other engagement metrics of various kinds. As colleges enroll more underprepared students, they’re increasingly eliminating remedial courses. Critics say it’s unrealistic to expect nearly every student to succeed right off the bat — even with extra academic support. Don’t be defensive. Talk about how your institution brings value. And more advice that college leaders recommend. Small rebellions, universitywide subscription renegotiations, and a European open-access mandate for certain research are putting unusual pressure on industry giants. What’s on the horizon in admissions, business models, college rankings, and more, from our 2019 Trends Report. 1255 23rd Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20037© 2020 The Chronicle of Higher Education
