My WSJ colleagues and I revealed in 2021 that 2U Inc. used aggressive recruiting tactics and pressured students to get giant student loans for online degrees at USC, UNC, Georgetown and other elite schools. Our stories spurred lots of reaction. wsj.com/business/2u-ed-tech-… via @WSJ
Great follow-up on what's been happening at 2U, the online degree manager for USC, UNC, Georgetown and others. @WSJ revealed the company's aggressive recruiting tactics in a 2021 investigation.
A classic @WSJ story about the rise and fall (or at least current existential crisis) of a buzzy tech company. 2U went from a market value of $5B+ to $30M, and it's not quite clear what happens next.

Next time you’re on a Zoom call with your boss, AI may be telling her if you’re bored or frustrated by analyzing your facial expressions, voice and words. My latest WSJ story looks at the promise and risks of AI that can interpret human empathy. wsj.com/articles/ai-empathy-…

23 weeks. That’s how long Evan has been wrongfully imprisoned in Russia without a trial. His parents recently joined @WSJ journalists in our NYC newsroom, so we could show our support. Please join us in demanding his immediate release.

The criminal case against former President Donald Trump was triggered by these Wall Street Journal articles about a hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, particularly the reporting by @joe_palazzolo & @mrothfeld. A history here:

I interviewed dozens of call-center agents to understand what it's like to work alongside AI. For many, it's a daily power struggle.

Interesting follow up to our reporting on aggressive student recruiting last year: The Education Department is concerned that tuition-sharing agreements might contribute to rising student debt wsj.com/articles/education-d… via @WSJ
Read my latest story, which I worked on with ace WSJ reporter Rebecca Smith, on how universities are turning over a great deal of control to ed tech companies. And students don't know it. wsj.com/articles/that-fancy-… via @WSJ

In the wake of @wsj investigation, @USC struggles to respond. @uscsocialwork dean tells grad students she wants to end early the “stupid” contract with 2U vendor behind exorbitant fees that leave students with huge debt. Provost says that’s a no go. @lisabannon @anfuller

My first WSJ leder in 12 years and I think it's worth reading. This is part of our important series on student debt from my awesome colleagues @anfuller, @ForsythJenn, @melissakorn, @Tawnell.
READ THIS. Then pick your jaw up from the floor.

Incredibly proud of this well-deserved recognition for our talented colleague Chao Deng, who ran toward Wuhan as Covid-19 broke out last year and chronicled what was happening on the ground
