County College of Morris to Host Criminal Justice Career Fair

MORRIS COUNTY — The County College of Morris (CCM) is inviting students, graduates and general job seekers to its Criminal Justice Career Fair on Thursday, November 19. “Career fairs give students, job seekers and career changers the chance to talk directly with professionals who know their fields and find out what employers are looking for,” said Maureen Kazaba, professor in the Department of Criminal Justice at CCM. “You don’t have to be a criminal justice major to benefit. There are many career paths to explore, and meeting employers in person can also help students discover the education needed for opportunities they may not have considered.”

Op-Ed: New Board of Education Members Must Push Administration to do More With Less

We woke up on Wednesday to the news that the For Stronger Schools slate routed its opponents to secure its place on the school board. I considered writing about how the victory represents a resounding rejection of the Jersey City Education Association’s stranglehold on our public schools, or a rejection of the lack of accountability within the bureaucracy of the Board of Education. But I won’t.

Say no to Kalshi or any online-betting biz in NYC’s schools

Hey, NYC public school parents: Worried about how your kid is engaging with social media, AI and tech in general? Fear not: Online platform Kalshi is here to . . . help? Ugh: While its business technically is running prediction markets, Kalshi is far too close to a gambling outlet to just wave into our schools. The company will dump north of $7 million over three years into its just-announced partnershi p with city-approved edtech company EverFi. Hmm: That comes atop $3 million Kalshi gave to fund a Housing Works health-care center — even as state Attorney General Tish James in July filed suit against the mega-valued startup seeking $36 billion . We’re no fans of James, but this looks like a bid to buy a better image. Utah charges Kalshi’s founders, escalating a war over who can regulate prediction markets Thing is, Kalshi looks like it needs addicts to power its success. Per survey data gathered this summer, more than half of “prediction market” bettors fund their bets with credit cards or loans; among that group, close to 90% end up losing. So Kalshi seems an odd candidate to fund content presumably teaching kids to get off line and

TIME names the top colleges in New York

Columbia University and Cornell University ranked among the nation's best colleges in TIME Magazine's Best Colleges rankings, released last month. TIME partnered with data research firm Statista for its inaugural report of America’s Best Colleges of 2026-2027 , which ranked colleges that "excel at student outcomes, learning environment and attractiveness to students," according to the publication. Schools with historically strong STEM programs ranked high on the list, including the top two universities: Stanford University (No. 1), known for its startup culture and connection to Silicon Valley, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (No. 2), a patent powerhouse, according to TIME. New York's highest-ranked university, Columbia University in New York City, is best known for its Core Curriculum and strength in the humanities and social sciences, including its graduate programs in journalism, business, law and international affairs, according to Oriel Admissions. Cornell University in Ithaca is known for its focus on engineering, agriculture and life sciences, as well as hotel administration. Although Cornell, like Columbia, is an Ivy League school, some of its colleges are state-supported contract colleges , which offer lower tuition to New York residents. Other Cornell colleges are endowed and rely on private support, according to the university.

Daycare abuse spikes in NYC — and equity-driven ‘reform’ is to blame

For years, New York state and local officials have made it harder to investigate child abuse, and harder to keep abusers on the registry that educational and child-care employers check before they hire. Now it looks like the chickens are coming home to roost: City daycare facilities are seeing skyrocketing cases of child abuse by employees. Anyone wondering how this happened hasn’t been paying attention. When Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a law last year forbidding hotline callers from accepting anonymous reports of child abuse, it sealed the deal on a hands-off stance that was long in the making. The city’s Administration for Children’s Services has made a concerted effort to tamp down calls about child maltreatment, actively discouraging teachers, for instance, from reporting child neglect. When calls are accepted, more and more of them are deemed “low risk,” meaning families are offered services but the cases are never actually investigated. Many such “low risk” cases are nothing of the sort: For instance, a case that ACS chalks up to poverty — such as a teacher’s report that a child showed up to school hungry, having not been fed all weekend — may actually be the result of substance abuse or

Blakeman Blasts Hochul Over NY School Rankings, Pitches STEM Overhaul in Bronx

N.Y. State Education Department — Statewide School Policy Headquarters. Bruce Blakeman stood in the Bronx and told voters that New York's public schools are failing despite spending more per student than any other state in the country. The Nassau County executive and Republican gubernatorial nominee said New York students' test scores have declined during Governor Kathy Hochul's five years in office, calling the situation unacceptable and vowing to make science, technology, engineering and math the backbone of the state's curriculum if elected.
