College graduates who have student debt are more likely to delay milestones like getting married, buying a house or having children.
UNC Greensboro professor Arielle Kuperberg, an associate professor of Sociology and Women s Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, says a study she recently published confirms what many young adults know from experience.
In 2017, the researchers surveyed hundreds of undergraduate students who had student loans and were about to graduate. They asked those with student loans what they expected the loans to do for them. The researchers then followed up with a subset of these individuals in 2020 to find out whether their expectations of student loans matched the reality.

When universities across the country first went virtual last year in response to COVID-19, administrators increased their use of anti-cheating programs, which monitor students through their webcams with artificial intelligence-based facial recognition. Through functions such as these, officials hoped to discourage cheating on tests during remote learning but it hasn’t come without backlash.
In March, the University of Wisconsin-Madison disabled facial recognition features offered through Honorlock, an online exam proctoring service, after three students with darker skin tones said the program failed to recognize their facial features and paused the exam.
