(The Washington Post)

Federal Education Data Show Male-Female Wage Gap Among Young College Graduates Remains High The men who were in full time jobs made $57,800 on average. The women in full time jobs made $47,400 on average. In other words, these women, most of them unmarried and without children, were earning only 82 cents for each dollar that a man was in 2012. (Washington Monthly)

UC appoints Jewish student regent amid controversy For the second time in two years, passions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts have entered an unlikely forum: the UC regents' selection of student representatives on the university governing board. (Los Angeles Times)

In the Netherlands, where the government pays most of the cost of tuition, leaders are working on a reform of the financing model for tertiary education. (The New York Times)

It also creates a new set of annual financial disclosures for the NCAA and other college sports entities. (USA Today via University Business)
