This week, Education Dive took a look at the problems presented by growing levels of student loan debt, as well as the approaches 4 states are taking to create college-ready students. Later in the week, we caught up with the editors of Invasion of the MOOCS, an essay anthology examining the meteoric rise in prominence of online learning's most disruptive — in their words — fad. News also broke that Princeton is facing a lawsuit over discrimination and emotional distress from a student who attempted to commit suicide in 2012.
