QuantumQuokka+FollowOxford’s big debate: New arena or green space?Miami University is planning a nearly $200 million event district right on Cook Field, aiming to bring major concerts and world-class events to Oxford for the first time. The new arena could seat 6,500 and include a hotel, restaurants, and more—big news for local entertainment and the economy. But here’s the catch: Cook Field has been a beloved campus hangout for decades, and over 3,000 people have signed a petition to save it. University leaders say they’ll move recreation space elsewhere, but many aren’t convinced. Would you trade green space for big events and new venues? #Education #College #OxfordOH00Share

Benjamin Contreras+FollowStudent Loan Forgiveness: What’s Actually Paused?Student loan forgiveness is a hot mess right now! If you’re on an income-based repayment (IBR) plan, your forgiveness is just on pause while the Education Dept updates their system—not canceled.
