First-generation college students bring remarkable determination and resilience to their pursuit of higher education. Yet they continue to face significant barriers to degree completion, including fewer financial resources, less academic preparation, and less information and guidance about how to navigate the higher education system. A growing evidence base suggests that comprehensive, cohort-based support programs that […]

As a 2025 Junior Fellow, Maggie Jones helped build the United States Indigenous Government Websites Web Archive with the guidance of her mentor, Giselle Aviles. In this interview, they describe how the collection developed from a list of over 500 tribes and what that process taught them about web archiving. They also share examples of how Indigenous government websites often extend beyond administrative functions to document culture, history, language, and community life.

In an ongoing effort to make more of our operations transparent, we have decided to start sharing summaries of our board meetings on the blog. We already post our board resolutions, but the summaries will give a bit more information on what the board discusses that may or may not show up on the list of resolutions.
We do observe the Chatham House Rule for our board discussions, so we won’t disclose who says what, and there will still be executive sessions that discuss confidential matters that we can’t share. But those discussions constitute a minority of the time we spend together, so the summaries will cover much of what the board discusses.
Let’s start with our recent meeting in January, which is online and lasts one hour.
The January meeting is held primarily to conduct board business at the start of the board term.
The board conducted elections for this year’s board leadership, and approved each of the following positions:
The board then turned to review and adopt the minutes from the November board meeting, December board meeting, and October executive committee meeting.
The board discussed a proposal to update the financial authorization approval levels, a set of guidelines established by the board to define the limits on the approval of expenses that are part of Crossref’s Financial and Accounting Operating Policies. The board adopted changes to the policy that would bring it in line with the scale of Crossref’s business operations.
Ed Pentz gave a brief overview of what the board can expect at the 2026 board meetings and reviewed topics that will be discussed at each meeting.
The board next meets in early March.

For the 37 million adults in the US who have completed some college but do not have a degree or credential (SCNC), financial costs are one of the biggest barriers to returning. Institutional debt—unpaid balances that a student owes to their college or university after stopping out—is a specific challenge that many students with SCNC face. The Ohio College Comeback Compact took an innovative approach to re-enrollment by canceling up to $5,000 in institutional debt as students re-enrolled and made progress toward their degrees, treating unpaid balances as a student engagement strategy rather than a collection effort.

Many states looking to invest in higher education to strengthen workforce pipelines and expand economic mobility lack the data needed to target those investments effectively. The Postsecondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO) dataset helps close that gap by linking postsecondary education to wage and employment data, illuminating how educational pathways connect to workforce outcomes both within and beyond state borders. With support from the PSEO Coalition, Ithaka S+R used PSEO data from South Carolina to explore three key questions, each of which is relevant for states nationwide.
