Good news! Especially for those at #AEFP2025 / @aefpweb.bsky.social who might use IPEDS: I came across this new R package that allows you to download literally all of IPEDS before it is gone! nehgov.github.io/ripeds/ I tested it yesterday and it works like a charm. Definitely recommend!

We found evidence of academic gains, but also concerns for equity in program access. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
