Collections are coming for millions of student loans in default

A long-postponed reckoning could be coming soon for millions of student loan borrowers who are now faced with garnished wages and seized tax refunds as soon as next year. Since pandemic forbearance finally expired last year, more than 9 million borrowers already are in default, owing a collective $234 billion, and millions more are late in their payments. Those borrowers are likely to face severe collection measures such as wage garnishment and seizure of tax refunds next year. Such collections have been repeatedly paused, most recently this past January.

New anti-elitist college rankings put Universities of Texas, Florida on top — in shock result

A New York think tank just came out with its own proprietary college rankings, and the results probably aren’t what you’d expect: the University of Texas at Austin at number one, Yale all the way down at number ten, and Arizona State ranked higher than Stanford. The rankings may be surprising, but, according to the Manhattan Institute (MI), they’re meant to subvert academic snobbery and scrutinize the value of an education. In their own words, the rankings “judge schools by present performance, not past prestige.” “Other prestige-focused rankings offer little insight into the content of the education students will receive, the classroom and campus environment they will inhabit, or the values that will surround them,” the think tank said in a press release . The rankings score 115 schools using 95 variables. The top schools, according to MI’s calculations: University of Texas at Austin, University of Florida, and Notre Dame. And at the very bottom: Smith College and Oberlin College. University of Texas at Austin ranked number one in the Manhattan Institute’s college rankings for 2026.

Montclair’s case against the New Jersey school funding formula, by the numbers

Montclair’s public schools got the largest aid increase the state allows this year: about $600,000. Their health insurance costs rose $4.2 million. Superintendent Ruth B. Turner says that gap shows what’s broken in the New Jersey school funding formula, and she is asking Montclair residents to tell the state so in person at a public forum in Newark on October 27.

Teacher Spotlight: Getting to Know Coach Zilinski

Mr. Zilinski, flag football coach at Manville Highschool, talks about what he wants for his team and how he plans his 2027 season to go. He started coaching flag football after a couple of students asked him to put together a team and take the role of head coach. Since then, he has enjoyed watching the girls grow and become better athletes. He talks about his favorite part of coaching: seeing the girls push themselves and improve every day. One of the hardest parts is seeing players get hurt or not reaching their fullest potential.

Newark parents push for independent interpreters after superintendent summarizes Spanish testimony

Newark Latino families and labor organizers are asking the school district to require professional interpreters at every board meeting after they say Spanish-speaking parents’ public comments were incompletely interpreted at a recent meeting. Rafael Chavez, a community organizer with the New Labor advocacy organization, said in the absence of a qualified interpreter at last month’s school board meeting, superintendent Roger León stepped in to interpret some parents’ public comments. Chavez told Chalkbeat the issue of interpretation has come up repeatedly at previous Newark board meetings, including at the September meeting where he testified in Spanish without an interpreter. According to Chavez, León omitted portions of parents’ statements that Chavez said criticized how they and their children have been treated in district schools. In a review of the board video , Newark parents Sonia Pangul, Mayra Sanmartin, and Brenda Villatoro Villela can be heard testifying in Spanish about concerns regarding their children’s treatment in district schools and the lack of availability of music, sports, and

Delbarton soccer gets revenge against Seton Hall Prep, moves to final

MORRIS TOWNSHIP — Dylan Mazzarella called it "a full-circle moment," standing on Delbarton's soccer field and celebrating after defeating Seton Hall Prep, 3-2, in the NJSIAA Non-Public A North final. The Green Wave senior reflected back on four years ago, when the roles were reversed. This is Delbarton's first sectional title since 2018 – also defeating the Pirates, but on penalty kicks. Seton Hall Prep (14-7) had topped the Green Wave in the 2021 and 2023 finals, though the Green Wave has a 13-4-2 all-time lead in NJSIAA Tournament matches. "Freshman year, it was sad to go out on this field to Seton Hall, so it was great to beat them," said Mazzarella, a Parsippany resident. "We took advantage early, and they started getting back into the game. Knowing how we prepared, it got us through." Sophomore Cortland Martin figured into all three Green Wave goals, scoring the first two and taking the free kick that classmate Thine Sohn nodded in. A sophomore defender, Sohn had cleared a ball off the line with about two minutes to go before halftime, then scored the eventual game winner less than five minutes into the second half. Martin has five goals in Delbarton's

Passaic Tech football rallies past Phillipsburg for repeat

NOTE: This story has been updated with quotes and more information. PHILLIPSBURG — Phillipsburg High School’s football team did enough Friday night to win most games. Passaic County Tech, however, isn’t like most opponents. The Stateliners did plenty of good things in a 21-10 loss in the North 2, Group 5 final on Nov 13. But the defending sectional champion Bulldogs simply had a few gears more, namely outstanding senior running back Randy Lewis who ran for 254 yards on 23 carries with a back-breaking 79-yard touchdown with about four minutes to play to give Tech its 21-10 lead. “They made more plays than we did, they were able to get their run game going and we didn’t do great against the run, but we were in position to kind of make it a game in the end,” said Liners coach Frank Duffy. “I was proud of our team and am confident in them. They played hard until the very end and showed their grittiness.” Sophomore Hunter Garrison’s 33-yard field goal gave third-seed Pburg a 10-7 lead on the first play of the fourth quarter. No. 4 seed Passaic Tech took a 14-10 lead with a key 40-yard completion on

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.
