A great day on campus yesterday with Judy Woodruff of PBS News for the Brandeis University 75th anniversary. Our Brandeis Journalism students had lots of great questions for Judy, and the pioneering broadcast journalist had lots of inspiring answers. (W/ Ann Silvio. Photos by Khimaya Bagla.)

What happens when a doctor who has cared for Boston's homeless population for 40 years in "blessed obscurity" gets the bestseller treatment from Tracy Kidder? I wrote about Dr. Jim O'Connell for this year's Globe Magazine "Bostonians of the Year" issue. bostonglobe.com/2023/12/12/mag…

Requests from homeless people? Here's some advice from Dr. Jim O'Connell's 40 years: Make eye contact, treating them like the fellow human beings they are. Consider handing them a Dunkin’ gift card for $5, so they can get a coffee and access to a restroom. bostonglobe.com/2023/12/12/mag…

A treat for Lovely Ann Silvio and me to welcome friends Adrian Walker and Evan Allen to Brandeis University to discuss the brilliant The Boston Globe narrative series and podcast reexamining the Stuart case 3 decades later. Great questions from our Brandeis Journalism students. Photos by Khimaya Bagla.

Fascinating and funny discussion last night about reinventing journalism with innovative Matt Shearer. Great to team up with my Brandeis University colleague Adriana Lacy and our bright Brandeis Journalism students (including our photographer Khimaya Bagla).

The The Chronicle of Higher Education has a story today about how colleges will, as of July 1, no longer be able to hold student transcripts hostage. Hallelujah. First exposed this troubling higher-ed practice in this Globe Magazine piece 8 years ago (and then on CSPAN). bostonglobe.com/magazine/2016/…

"The pricing structure in #HigherEd is no longer sustainable." 📈 In the new book edited by our senior advisor @StephenBurd2, journalist Neil Swidey charts the rise of both the enrollment management industry and the metrics-focused forces of college rankings like U.S. News & World Report.
