The One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes the largest overhaul to the federal student aid system in decades, limiting loan repayment and debt forgiveness options for borrowers.

Once the largest college in the country, it saw enrollment dwindle over the past 15 years after it and several other large for-profit schools came under fire for allegedly misleading prospective students and using illegal recruitment tactics to boost enrollment. But now the university is staging a comeback, partly with help from Washington.

Our view is that large-language model digital agents can effectively do a non-immaterial portion of the work currently provided by 20-30k independent agents across the United States. The core of the firm's bearish thesis centers on a massive pool of routine, low-complexity insurance policies.

We're seeing more frequent, more severe extreme weather events and that inevitably affects claims and affects pricing it can't not. And this is happening all over the globe. More, after this week's most important reads.

One of my favorite movies is Good Will Hunting. Will Hunting (played by Matt Damon) is a 20-year-old janitor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Although he works a blue-collar job, he is secretly a self-taught genius with an extraordinary gift for mathematics and an exceptional memory. One day, he anonymously solves a complex math problem left on a chalkboard by Professor Gerald Lambeau, astonishing the faculty.

At its best, police education and training prepare law enforcement officers with the knowledge and skills-including principles of constitutional law, active listening and verbal de-escalation techniques, implicit bias awareness, how to recognize signs of mental illness or substance abuse, use of force standards, and ethical decision-making and professional conduct-that they will need to protect and serve the public as safely and effectively as possible.

Insurance is often one of those bills people think about only when premiums rise or a loss makes it necessary to review. Not updating a policy can cost you vastly more money than just paying a slightly higher premium, be that car insurance, home insurance or life insurance, to name a few. Rather than waiting to find out what coverage you have, brokers and other insurance experts offered some moves you should make as soon as possible.

Last November, two Washington residents filed a lawsuit accusing petroleum corporations of misleading the public for decades about fossil fuels' effect on climate change and how global warming is harming the planet and its inhabitants. Their lawsuit marks the latest addition to the growing number targeting Big Oil. The case, however, was novel, given the plaintiffs' damage claims: That increased carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning have intensified extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, wildfires, floods and heat waves.

Many baby boomers who are avidly focused on investing for their own retirement may also be looking to invest for their loved ones. Whether that's in the form of passing down some of their wealth at some day to their heirs (which means the better they do, the better their kids and grandkids will do), or simply adding funds to their loved one's 529 college savings plans, there are plenty of ways to invest in future generations.

By the time Dr. Jill Green finished medical school, she'd racked up seven figures in student debt and had virtually zero assets. "My net worth was negative $1 million," the family practice and emergency medicine doctor told Business Insider. "Our primary home was our only asset." Green, who began her career in investment banking before pivoting to medicine, began entertaining the idea of property investing after hearing a physician couple speak at a virtual entrepreneur event for doctors.

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.

Whether it's executive coaching or life coaching, people understand the concept and know that there is value to it in higher ed. However, what's been missing is this foundational research that really explains why coaching works in this context and how you can then leverage it to have the most impact on student success. What does a coach need to know, and at what skill level do they need to operate in order to have the impact on students that we want to see?

It can be scary to borrow large student loans to finance an expensive college degree. There is a market failure, however, every time a student does not attend their preferred college, study their preferred major, or pursue their preferred career because they are afraid of student loans. Students should be free to pursue their passions - not forced into second-best choices because of the cost of the degree or the prospect of a lower income in the future.

All but 14 of the 45 universities placed under investigation for participating in the PhD Project and allegedly violating civil rights law have agreed to cease partnering with the organization, the Education Department announced Thursday. The Office for Civil Rights launched the investigations last March, arguing that the PhD Project, a nonprofit organization that connects prospective business doctoral candidates from underrepresented backgrounds with academic networks, was "limit[ing] eligibility based on the race of participants."
