Presentation to colleagues this Friday, so I’m setting up my AV and computer systems now. Regardless, I expect Zoom to want to update at least three times between now and then. #HigherEd #HigherEdPolicy #AIPolicy #AcademicHonesty #ThanksZoom

Interesting piece 1️⃣ by Francie Diep in The Chronicle this morn on how critique of US News may help 'fix' it...

...and an equally interesting response 2️⃣ from our head of data, David Levy, on why US News' goals and any perceived fixes may be too big a gap to bridge 👇

Just learned that my book, "Reexamining the Federal Role in Higher Education," placed first in the category of Politics and second in the category of Education for the 2022 Royal Dragonfly Book Award!

Very delayed #intropost

Hi, I’m Carly, Head of Uni & Media Relations at Degreechoices.com.

I’m British and new to US #highered so you can usually find me asking unusual questions, then diving down the rabbit holes they open and hoping you’ll come with me.

I’m especially interested in how #higheredpolicy affects future economic mobility for graduates, university culture for staff and faculty, and social science in general.

Say hi if you’re in #highered and share your follow recommendations!

https://wonkhe.com/blogs/part-time-higher-education-needs-ambition/ Interesting views from our VC and that of Birbeck. It's certainly true the biggest shocks to part time study have come as unintended consequences. It does need specific policy approaches instead #HigherEdPolicy #parttimestudy

My recent #HigherEdPolicy observation is that a class of leader will do all they can to invent positions to absolve themselves their now-former list of duties.

Always pay attention to their justification: did they pass the duties onto someone based on the individual's traits or do they offer a logical, organizational need for the position? It will say a lot about the leadership.

Today, I'm reading this article on the "enrollment cliff" by Kevin Carey. It mainly walks the well-trodden paths of this narrative. But he makes 2 interesting and interrelated points: 1) leaders will have a scarcity mindset and see everything through ROI; 2) financially motivated vocationalization of majors at broadly accessible colleges will further divide opportunities by class and income. https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/23428166/college-enrollment-population-education-crash #highered #highereducation #higheredreads #higheredpolicy

Here’s the first of what will be a daily series entitled, “If You Read One Thing Today…” With so much news in #highered I’ll make it easy for you to focus in on one key topic each day. I scan the news religiously and identify news and trends that will keep you on top of what is happening. Here is today’s: https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/23428166/college-enrollment-population-education-crash

Amplifying this blog post from our friends at the Brookings metro policy program. The blog explains what is perhaps the first piece of federal legislation to provide targeted support for regional public universities--up to 174 institutions serving economically distressed communities #highered #highereducation #higheredpolicy #regionalpublics https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2022/11/18/new-legislation-and-research-reaffirm-the-importance-of-regional-public-universities-for-local-economies/

From last week: Cecilia Orphan and I wrote a new article that describes the contributions of regional public universities as broadly accessible anchor institutions. And we suggest metrics for better capturing these contributions and expanding notions of "value" in #highered https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00091383.2022.2128013 #higheredpolicy #highereducation #regionalpublics

Hello world! #introduction I currently work on education policy at #knowledgeworks, former #USED and #thehill with higher ed policy. Even though my day job is largely K12 focused at the moment, I'm always looking for opportunities to build connections between our innovative schools work and the higher education sector in areas like admissions, financial aid, teacher preparation, employer engagement and more #higheredpolicy #dualcredit #innovation. Excited to be here!
