I had the same dilemma in Glasgow when I arrived this week!
Ed researchers! @aeraedresearch.bsky.social asks that we take a 5 min survey on "how specific [IES] datasets, surveys, research, and evaluations are used and relied upon by members" by May 28th to respond to questions from the judge. I'm not including the link on purpose but please check your email!

In a new letter, AERA and other education research leaders call on Congress to protect the nation’s education data, research infrastructure, and knowledge base, by safeguarding the IES and broader Education Department staff, leadership, and mission. www.aera.net/Portals/38/E...
Enjoyed this presentation to end #CIES2025 in Chicago. We have to keep supporting international education.
AERA has just learned that all restricted-use NCES data licenses will be cancelled, possibly as early as March 20. We urgently request that all AERA members and others in the research community with restricted-use licenses take these two actions: www.aera.net/Research-Pol...

Timely contribution as I teach Higher Education Law this semester. Thank you @garceslm.bsky.social !
It's part of the invisible knapsack that McIntosh and others write of. As a first-generation, working class, English language learning son of immigrants, there were many parts of the college experience that I was shielded of due to the color of my skin. This piece takes a very narrow view.
Things like being excluded from study groups based on race. Or being assumed that they are on campus as part of "the help" rather than being a student. Or worse, that they are on campus due to a compensatory program. these psychosocial factors have an effect on students.
Two things can be true at the same time: 1) Higher ed must do better to support working class students 2) white working-class students do benefit from some white privilege. Compare the experiences of students of color to white working class students and we see that white privilege exists here.
AERA and COPAFS have issued a statement on the sudden termination of 169 contracts within IES, including those that NCES holds for the collection and reporting of education statistics. Read the full statement: www.aera.net/Newsroom/AER...
Thanks for the reply!
Did they provide any guidance on how to do disclosure reviews? We have a restricted data room but we're unsure how to receive approval before submitting for publication.
Eliminating, or at least severely reducing, data access & collection undercuts both knowledge & accountability. Educational inequalities & trying to address them will become even more difficult.
Here's what the decision by America's favorite sports league tells us about "anticipatory obedience."
