Remembering Sister Candace Introcaso of La Roche University

Sister Candace Introcaso, having served La Roche University since 2004, died unexpectedly during her presidency. Now-acting President Howard Ishiyama alerted the community that Introcaso’s health took an “unexpected turn” two hours prior. Introcaso’s legacy at La Roche will not be forgotten. She oversaw the institution’s transition from a college to a university in 2019 and helped expand its academic offerings and shift its campus operations to one cohesive campus location.

How pricey college towns are driving faculty inequity

A new report highlights the most expensive college towns in the U.S., revealing potential challenges for students and faculty. With housing affordability a significant concern, the study by In My Area found that California dominates the list of costly college towns, with Santa Clara ranking highest, requiring residents to earn at least $70,000 for living expenses. Rent prices plateaued after a recent spike but still surged in certain California metro areas. Expensive college towns can lead to faculty inequity, hindering diversity as faculty members face financial challenges, particularly non-tenure and tenure-track faculty of color. The issue also contributes to the wave of student and faculty union strikes across higher education institutions.
