"Most of you went to elite universities. You did really well, you were in the top of your class. You are people who are successful by nature and hardworking,"

While not a full picture of OpenAI's workforce, the snapshot underscores how heavily frontier AI labs continue to draw from a small cluster of top research universities - and how concentrated elite AI talent remains.

In general, students across all income brackets are paying less for college, adjusted for inflation, than they did six years ago at all types of institutions. In some cases, those drops were especially high, including for low- and middle-income students at the nation's wealthiest private colleges; their average net price dropped 28.1 percent and 30.8 percent, respectively.

Additionally, since 2022, 12 states have implemented requirements for high schools to teach financial literacy, with some also incorporating the fundamentals of free-market capitalism. Nearly a dozen high school teachers told Business Insider that they've noticed their students are increasingly engaged in lessons on capitalism - and are skeptical toward the model. That's largely because they're more aware of economic conditions, such as the persistent wealth gap.

As reported by the Harvard Crimson student newspaper, reflecting on the present challenges to institutions around accusations of intolerance and hostility to free debate, Garber came down firmly on the side of not debating (bold is mine): "I'm pleased to say that I think there is real movement to restore balance in teaching and to bring back the idea that you need to be objective in the classroom."

Given the importance of local considerations, there are few universal policy prescriptions that can be recommended with confidence.

Student loans aren't to be taken lightly - the hundreds of thousands of dollars prospective lawyers take out for school can set back other milestone life goals like owning a home, having children and buying groceries. For years, relatively low interest loans from the government were a godsend for students that wanted the career opportunities law could unlock but lacked the capital needed to fund their educations.

Yale University is eliminating tuition and other costs for all new undergraduates from families earning less than $100,000 a year, joining a growing number of elite campuses that are slashing costs for middle- and lower-income families. The Ivy League school announced the change Tuesday and said it will take effect for students entering this fall. Yale previously waived all expected costs for students from families earning less than $75,000 a year.

"These numbers reflect California's commitment to academic excellence, access, and innovation, values that have made the University of California the world's greatest research university," said UC president James B. Milliken. "The value of a UC degree is abundantly clear. An investment in UC is the best investment in the future of our students, California's workforce, and the state's economy."

"They didn't have a spot for me," he said of Tulane. "We're going in another direction."

The process of identifying candidates for Overseer and HAA elected director once again underscored the extraordinary breadth of experience and commitment found across the Harvard alumni community,
