Read excerpt
Last spring, Brown University economics professor Roberto Serrano gave his first take-home midterm in his course, ECON 1170: “Welfare Economics and Social Choice Theory.” Sitting in his office in Providence, Rhode Island, this summer, he recalled how he immediately suspected “massive cheating,” because the grade distribution was, in his words, “absurd.” “While the historical average of these midterm exams in previous editions of the course ranged between 65 and 80, the average this time was 96,”

Read excerpt
Francesca Gino is the first professor in Harvard’s long history to lose her tenure. The former Harvard Business School professor built a reputation studying honesty and dishonesty, decision-making and ethics, workplace dynamics and productivity.

One application: stretchy, breathable bandages that absorb moisture and stick to skin tissue

Read excerpt
David Chard served as the 14th and final president of Wheelock College, which closed and merged with Boston University in 2018. At the time, the son of factory workers from Michigan lived in the historic president’s house along the Riverway in Brookline. Today, the retired educator lives in a small Cape house in Provincetown, where he volunteers as a master gardener at local public schools. “The garden is a lot of work,” he said, wearing a broad-rimmed straw hat and holding a pair of thinning sh
