    Reading 'Stoner'
    2026/08/05
    More than 60 years after its publication, John Williams’s novel Stoner remains a revelatory portrait of higher education and the professoriate. Spanning much of the first half of the 20th century, the novel follows William Stoner from his undergraduate days at the University of Missouri through his career as an English professor at the same institution. The common tropes of the academic novel are all on display in Stoner, which features an illicit affair and a nasty interdepartmental feud. But it is Stoner’s intense focus on the purpose of college and the ineffable power of education that make it vital reading for anyone in academe. In the inaugural meeting of the College Matters Book Club, we’re diving into what one reviewer has described as “the perfect novel.” Related Reading: The Inner Lives of Men - Morris Dickstein’s review of Stoner (The New York Times) The Greatest American Novel You’ve Never Heard Of (The New Yorker) Dear Committee Members by Julie Schumacher Guests: Nell Gluckman, senior reporter at The Chronicle of Higher Education Julie Schumacher, novelist and English professor at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities For more on today’s episode, visit chronicle.com/collegematters.

  • The Endlessly Divisive SAT

    The Endlessly Divisive SAT
    2026/07/22
    The pandemic prompted many universities to drop standardized-testing requirements for applicants, and a lot of institutions remain test-optional today. But some high-profile universities, including all of the members of the Ivy League, have since reinstated their testing requirements. Even the University of California, which has been a leader in the “test free” movement, now plans to revisit its policy. What’s driving the return-to-test trend, and how do skeptics of standardized testing feel about the changing national mood?

  • Higher Ed and America

    Higher Ed and America
    2026/07/08
    As the United States celebrates its 250th birthday, the nation’s colleges and universities are experiencing some growing pains. Older than the country itself, American higher education is a big, bold, polarizing enterprise that people don’t trust as much as they once did — but still can’t imagine living without. Sound like America? It is. Related Reading ‘Animal House’ at 30: O Bluto, Where Art Thou? (The Chronicle) Diversifying Society’s Leaders?
