As the core of the largest metropolitan area in America, what happens in NYC has a big impact on the country as a whole.

This week, Manhattan Institute scholars weighed in on New York news while also discussing the national implications 🧵
For @nytopinion, @nicolegelinas looked back on how the migrant crisis brought out the worst traits of former President Biden and @NYCMayor Eric Adams.

“Biden seemed oblivious. Adams seemed too eager, signing no-bid contracts, vulnerable to corruption.”

New Yorkers want improvements in crime and quality of life and are looking for a candidate who can deliver.

In @CityJournal, @JKetcham91 writes that Cuomo's campaign hinges on convincing voters that “his hallmark competency will hold good in the city.”

New @ManhattanInst issue brief:

Administrative bloat is sinking America’s colleges and universities.

From 1976–2018, student enrollment grew 78%, but administrative staff ballooned by 164%.

How did higher education get here? And what can reform-minded boards do about it? Image
Traditionally, universities were managed as a partnership among faculty.

But they became "command-and-control" bureaucracies after WWII when enrollment exploded, and faculty traded the right to make administrative decisions for a smaller workload.

It was a devil’s bargain.
The result? Skyrocketing costs, misaligned priorities, and diminished educational quality.

Now, administrators are entrenched and reform-minded boards need to be more deliberate in steering their ships back toward a university’s north star: advancing knowledge and equipping students.

This brief offers a plan for trustees ready to lead.Image

Since the U.S. Department of Education was established in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter, Republican lawmakers and political leaders have wanted to eliminate it.

For now, the department still stands. But education reform has been on the minds of MI scholars lately 🧵 Image
As @realchrisrufo writes in @CityJournal, President Trump’s recent “blitz through federal departments” has been surprisingly effective. If the current president is serious about shrinking or abolishing DOE, Rufo lays out the steps to make it happen. Image
In @WSJopinion, @jasonrileywsj explains how Trump and the Supreme Court can make great progress in expanding access to educational opportunities for all children through charter schools. Image

NEW: Ray Domanico weighs accusations that Hasidic yeshivas fail to adequately teach secular subjects and prepare students for success against the relevant historical, legal, and policy considerations and makes recommendations for the path ahead. manhattan-institute.org/nys-vs-hasidic…
Domanico’s report reveals the complexity of the issues involved, starting with the tension between the state’s education interests and the rights of parents, especially in religious matters.
Domanico finds that many of the accusations made against Hasidic schools also apply to some of the state’s district-run schools, while the marked differences among Hasidic schools call for case-by-case reviews and solutions.

NEW: Should we be spending more or less on the NYPD? The question can only be fairly considered in context and with hard numbers. @nicolegelinas analyzes four decades of NYPD spending to find out: manhattan-institute.org/defund-the-pol…
How large is the NYPD budget, relative to the overall city budget? How has spending on policing changed over the years and decades, relative to the entire budget? How large is uniformed-police staffing, relative to the overall city workforce?
Gelinas investigates these questions and finds that operational spending on the uniformed NYPD, contrary to conventional wisdom, has shrunk substantially as a share of the city budget since the early '80s, both in terms of spending and the size of the uniformed-officer workforce.
