Skoufis said earlier that the bill emanated from a recent report by Pace University's Land Use Law Center on reforming the state's village formation rules.

Professor Claudia Li speaks with South China Morning Post about Asian-Americans having mixed views on the use of race in college admissions:

Chunyan Li, a professor at Pace University in New York and board member of the non-profit Asian American Coalition for Education, described how SFFA’s data models have led to students of Chinese heritage trying to obscure their backgrounds and de-emphasise their pursuit of stereotypically Asian activities like math competitions.

President Krislov writes in Forbes that older Americans who are living longer are a market for colleges:

Americans are living longer, and better, than ever before. Thanks to improved healthcare, longer lifespans, and other demographic and sociological changes, we can expect to remain active and engaged well into our retirement years—and it’s a trend that is only growing. Already there are about 55 million Americans over 65 (PDF), up from 35 million at the turn of the 21st century. And by 2040, nearly half the U.S. population will be 40 or older. Some 20 percent, almost 80 million people, will be over 65.
