In an effort to increase transparency about college costs, a new federal rule which will be enacted next October mandates that colleges must post online calculators that determine the approximate cost of attendance for a student after receiving grants, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported Sunday. Students often have trouble determining the real cost of attending a certain college because details are not available until just weeks before they must accept colleges' offers, giving students little time to consider their implications, according to The Chronicle. The expected family contribution calculators are anticipated to have considerable effects on student decisions, according to The Chronicle, leading to some concerns that they could pose problems for colleges if they are inaccurate. Although many colleges support the implementation of the new rule, some universities that do not utilize a simple formula when awarding grants such as the University of Pennsylvania may have difficulty designing accurate calculators.

University boards awarded 30 leaders of private colleges over $1 million each upon their retirement or to correct for "underpayment," according to a review by The Chronicle of Higher Education. Executive payoffs are expected to rise as colleges are treated more like corporations and presidents are offered bonuses for performances, The Chronicle reported. The compensation may reflect the relatively high demand for College presidents, since the supply of potential presidents has decreased with the retirement of the baby boomers. Presidents of both wealthy and smaller institutions topped the list of high-earners, including the presidents of Yale University, Vanderbilt University, Columbia University, Quinnipiac University and Clark Atlantic University, The Chonicle reported.

Smaller college endowments performed better than large endowments in average returns in fiscal year 2010, according to The New York Times. While institutions with larger endowments may take greater risks, those without such endowments are more likely to invest in traditional assets, according to preliminary data from the Nacubo-Commonfund Study of Endowments, a study of 80 colleges and universities that will be released in January, The Times reported. These traditional assets fared well from the sell-off the previous year and declining interest rates. Endowments of under $25 million had an average return of almost 2 percent more than endowments of over $1 billion.

The college completion rate for men has stagnated, while the completion rate for women continues to rise, according to a report by the American Council on Education, The Washington Post reported Tuesday. Because men are more likely than women to opt out of college in favor of manual labor or military service, women now outnumber men three to two at universities across the nation, The Post reported. Men of all races, except for Asian-Americans, have experienced equal stagnation in college completion rates. Hispanics have experienced the largest increase in college enrollment rates. Women of all races, however, are completing college degrees at increasing rates, The Post reported.

Inge-Lise Ameer, associate dean of the College for student support services, and April Thompson, associate dean of the College for campus life, asked for feedback from freshmen about their Orientation and early Fall experiences at Tuesday night's freshmen-only Student Assembly meeting. Ameer said she intends to improve the advising system, possibly by setting up a peer advising system pairing first-year students with older students. She also intends to revamp faculty advisor training, and set up an online portal where students can view their advisors, she said. Freshmen at the meeting expressed approval of the new mandatory My Student Body online alcohol course that the students completed before matriculating. While students said they mostly viewed the alcohol panel during Orientation as a positive experience, some freshmen raised concerns that the panel failed to represent moderate drinkers. At the meeting, students who reside in substance-free dorms all said they were happy with their living arrangements.
