Officials: Gunman dead after bloody campus rampage - "At least 33 people, including a gunman, were killed Monday during shootings in a dorm and a building housing classrooms at Virginia Tech, university officials said...

Lenders Sought Edge Against U.S. in Student Loans - "In a fierce contest to control the student loan market, the [US]’s banks and lenders have for years waged a successful campaign to limit a federal program that was intended to make borrowing less costly by having the government provide loans directly to students." [New York Times]

U of T to divest $10-million in tobacco stock - "As of Dec. 31, 2005, the school's investment arm held about $10.5-million of tobacco industry stock, investments that included $4.6-million in Japan Tobacco, $4.5-million in Altria Group Inc., and $1.4-million in Rothmans Inc." [Globe and Mail]

Troubles Grow for a University Built on Profits - "According to federal statistics and government audits, [the University of Phoenix] relies more on part-time instructors than all but a few other postsecondary institutions, and its accelerated academic schedule races students through course work in about half the time of traditional universities. The university says that its graduation rate, using the federal standard, is 16 percent, which is among the nation’s lowest, according to Department of Education data. But the university has dozens of campuses, and at many, the rate is even lower." [New York Times]
