Barbour, who served as chairman of the Republican National Committee from 1993 to 1997, will serve as chairman of the National Assessment Governing Board for a term that lasts until Sept. 30, 2023.

This year's November elections—a preview to next year's nationwide showdowns—cast their own spotlight on education, a dynamic that played out most prominently in the Kentucky governor's race, where teachers organized to unseat a combative incumbent who'd sparred with them.

In five northern U.S. states, black students comprise more than a fifth of ELL enrollment.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina freshman Aliyah Boston has won the Lisa Leslie Award given to the top center in women’s college basketball.

South Carolina coach Dawn Staley believes her top-ranked Gamecocks are the women's basketball national champions, even without an NCAA Tournament trophy to put in their display case due to the pandemic-shortened season. The NCAA decided against officially crowning champions after its signature tournaments were called off due to the coronavirus pandemic that has sent much of the world into lock down. Staley spoke from her home where she's spent the past month managing her program and ensuring her players don't linger too much on what they missed.

Just two years removed from the euphoria of winning her second national championship, Muffet McGraw knew it was time. The Hall of Fame coach retired Wednesday with a resume that includes two national championships in 33 seasons at the school, a surprising decision to many of the countless players and coaches she has influenced on and off the court as a mentor and advocate for women. ''I am proud of what we have accomplished and I can turn the page to the next chapter in my life with no regrets, knowing that I gave it my best every day,'' said McGraw, a four-time winner of the AP women's basketball Coach of the Year.

During Wednesday's "Pac-12 Perspective" podcast, Natalie Chou shared why she is using her platform to speak out against racism she sees in her community related to the novel coronavirus.

Abstract:
We put forward a variable selection method for selecting explanatory variables in a normality-assumed multivariate linear regression. It is cumbersome to calculate variable selection criteria for all subsets of explanatory variables when the number of explanatory variables is large. Therefore, we propose a fast and consistent variable selection method based on a generalized $C_{p}$ criterion. The consistency of the method is provided by a high-dimensional asymptotic framework such that the sample size and the sum of the dimensions of response vectors and explanatory vectors divided by the sample size tend to infinity and some positive constant which are less than one, respectively. Through numerical simulations, it is shown that the proposed method has a high probability of selecting the true subset of explanatory variables and is fast under a moderate sample size even when the number of dimensions is large.
