America’s college-age population is shrinking, putting pressure on universities with high fixed costs and fewer students to fill their campuses. Schools like Bowling Green State are responding by adding career-focused programs and trying to stand out in a crowded market, while institutions that fail to adapt are facing cuts, closures and economic fallout for the towns that depend on them.

Glass House Analysis
Inflation is the silent tax that erodes purchasing power, hitting hardest those who can least afford it. When grocery bills rise faster than wages, families face impossible choices between food, medicine, and rent. Unlike market volatility that mainly affects investors, inflation touches everyone who buys groceries, fills a gas tank, or pays rent.
The implications extend beyond the immediate news cycle. Every economic development creates ripples that affect employment, prices, and opportunities in ways that may not be immediately visible but are deeply felt. By tracking these connections, we can better understand how the economy truly works—not as an abstract machine, but as a human system shaped by and shaping the lives of millions.
