| Meet the one percent of American colleges and universities [SLIDESHOW] Posted: 10 Oct 2012 04:02 PM PDT Most American colleges and universities are repositories of vast amounts of money, but some have built up endowments that border on the unbelievable. |
| Michigan School Elects Special Needs Homecoming King Posted: 10 Oct 2012 02:10 PM PDT Fall in high school means one thing perhaps more than others: football. And with football comes the ritual homecoming king and queen selections. In Linden, Michigan, a small rural community located between Flint, Michigan, and Detroit, it's no different. Linden is just an average small town, but in quality of life and paying it forward, it's a world leader, particularly at the local high school. Students at Linden High School elected a special needs boy, Danny Leideker, as their homecoming king. |
| Better Educated Americans Have More Debt Posted: 10 Oct 2012 10:27 AM PDT Credit card bills, monthly mortgage payments and loan payments represent big financial burdens for many Americans.

Be sure to explore The Short List: College and The Short List: Grad School to find data that matters to you in your college or grad school search. |
| Former Teacher: Unions Are Bad for Teachers Posted: 10 Oct 2012 08:21 AM PDT FIRST PERSON | During my years as a teacher, I witnessed more harm than good as a result of the stranglehold my union had on the district where I worked. This is why I became a supporter of Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wisc.). Most of my former colleagues cringe at the mention of Walker's name, but I admire him for taking a stand against public sector unions. |
