 | | Washington, D.C. — Mark Clayton, staff writer for the Christian Science Monitor, is this year’s recipient of the Iris Molotsky Award for Excellence in Coverage of Higher Education, given annually by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). |
 | | The judging committee commended Mark Clayton for his broad investigation of the topic and his probing analysis of the questions he encountered. |
 | | In that short tenure on the higher education beat, Clayton has written on such disparate subjects as the influence of corporate cash in university research, fraternities’ attempts to curb their own alcohol abuse, the creation of a new engineering college, and conflicts of interest in the federal funding of "new math" programs. |
