Christian School Fires Professor for Writing Novel With Un-Christian Characters [patheos.com]

The flava:
This spring, T.J. Martinson received a job offer to teach English at Olivet Nazarene University, a religious school outside Chicago where he, his parents, and his grandparents all attended. No doubt he was excited about the opportunity as a newly minted Ph.D.

But last month, before even stepping foot in a classroom, Martinson was told he was fired. All because of a novel he published in March called The Reign of the Kingfisher. (A novel, mind you. Not a memoir or a work of non-fiction or anything else that suggests his own beliefs.)

Boston’s community college problem: Abysmal graduation rates are failing young people of color [commonwealthmagazine.org]

The flava:
Less than 3 percent of newly enrolled, full-time students graduate on time from community colleges in Boston: 2 percent at Bunker Hill Community College and 1 percent at Roxbury Community College. It’s college decision time, and most students in Boston Public Schools will become part of a broken system of “well-meaning” adults, who are severely allergic to accountability.

The Surreal End of an American College [theatlantic.com]

The flava:
Like most other colleges across the country, Newbury College, a small, private liberal-arts school in Brookline, Massachusetts, held classes through the end of this past spring semester and then bid farewell to cap-and-gown-wearing seniors. But unlike almost every other college, those classes, and that farewell, were the school’s last: Newbury officially ceased operations at the end of May.
