The Supreme Court refuses to hear the claims of a German man who says he was abducted and tortured by the CIA and detained in a secret prison in Afghanistan. By doing so, the Supreme Court effectively endorses the Bush administration's argument that state secrets would be revealed if the case moved forward.

A new report from the International Energy Agency in Paris predicts an unprecedented global energy crunch, as strong economies fuel an appetite for oil and natural gas, and producers struggle to keep up. This is expected to create an energy crisis by 2012. We talk to Financial Times reporter Javier Blas, in London, who is covering the story. Millions of Iraqis have fled their country since the war started in 2003. Most of them are living now in the Middle East, especially Syria and Jordan, but thousands are also headed to the United States. We speak to Joost Hiltermann of the International Crisis Group about the strain the refugees are placing on host countries and the challenges the refugees face in those countries.

FAP571: Redlining, Facebook forum feedback, scholarships, Girls Stuff Student Financial Aid News + Inside Higher Ed : Like most of the revelations and allegations that have poured out of Andrew M. Cuomo’s office in the New York attorney general’s investigation into the student loan industry, his latest is provocative and highly charged. Two weeks ago, in a powerfully worded letter to Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) and Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.), Cuomo accused some providers of private student loans with engaging in the kind of racial discrimination that home mortgage lenders once practiced. + Some private lenders, he contended, have been using judgments based on the college a student attends — in addition to typical criteria such as the credit ratings of borrowers and their parents — as one factor in the evaluation that ultimately affects the interest rate on a loan. The practice, he wrote, is “analogous to ‘redlining’ in the home mortgage industry,” a reference to charging higher rates based on a prospective homeowner’s neighborhood, common a generation ago before federal laws changed to prohibit it. + But institutions with higher default rates and more credit risk tend to have more poor and minority students. According to the Project on Student Debt, which advocates capping interest rates and relieving student debt, a disproportionate percentage of African Americans leave four-year colleges in debt — 84.7 percent, compared to 73.7 percent of Latinos, 64 percent of whites and 58.1 of Asians. They also borrow more, compared to other racial groups, with an average debt of $22,041. On average, underrepresented minorities also tend to have less income to repay their loans with. + Act Education Loans use the FICO credit score as the basis of decisioning + Reminder: don't overborrow + Inside Higher Ed : The Higher Education Price Index increased by 3.4 percent this year, down from the previous year’s increase of 5.0 percent, according to data released by the Commonfund Institute. Utility costs at colleges and universities, which have been rising sharply, fell during the last year, according to the report. The idea behind the price index is that colleges’ cost increases (or decreases) are not necessarily reflected by national inflation rates, but some experts — particularly critics of college costs — have questioned the concept and said that it is used to justify tuition increases. + Eastern Michigan University violated federal law when it failed to tell students about a murder on campus, according to a draft report by the U.S. Department of Education, released by the university on Friday. The university also released a statement pledging to study the report in detail, but holding off on a response until then. + The French government on Tuesday announced plans to spend more than 5 billion euros ($6.8 billion) by 2012 to improve universities with a focus on their research capacity, The Financial Times reported. In Britain, meanwhile, Alison Richard, who is the head of the University of Cambridge, was warning Parliament that British excellence in higher education is in danger, in part because of too much emphasis on increasing enrollment as opposed to improving quality, the BBC reported. + No official parties at NASFAA next week - if you're in the DC area, let's hang out after the conference! Scholarship Update + From the Facebook group: + Hey...my name is Carla ...and I'm currently pursuing scholarships....I'm looking to attend Savannah College of Art & Design....and in terrible need of scholarships....I want to apply for fashion design and minor in photography/interactive design...i've got mad talent...I'm working on my Sats and my portfolio.... + Savannah College of Art and Design Eckburg Scholarship + $10,000 scholarship for residents in and around Savannah + The Eckburg Scholarship provides $10,000 per year to a limited number of students graduating from Savannah Christian High School or to area students who reside within a 200-mile radius of Savannah and demonstrate financial need.
