Published: June 11, 2024, 6:30 p.m.
Duration: 36 minutes 10 seconds \\xa7\\xa0 AI systems, like humans, accumulate knowledge and experiences to grow smarter over time.

\\xa7\\xa0 Natural language models like GPT now draw upon neural networks with over 1.7 trillion parameters, enabling sophisticated outputs.

\\xa7\\xa0 Occasional "hallucinations" in AI outputs are a result of drawing upon mismatched patterns and will decrease with more data exposure.

\\xa7\\xa0 Proper data, training, and policy frameworks can mitigate risks of AI misuse in higher education.

\\xa0

Piloting AI as a Faculty Productivity Tool

\\xa7\\xa0 AI-powered "design assistants" streamline course preparation, saving faculty significant time.

\\xa7\\xa0 94% of faculty in a pilot study reported substantial time savings using AI assistants.

\\xa7\\xa0 Faculty remain in control, reviewing and approving AI outputs before use.

\\xa7\\xa0 Time saved allows faculty to dedicate more energy to working directly with students.

\\xa0

Developing a Proactive AI Policy Framework

\\xa7\\xa0 University leaders should craft clear AI policy frameworks defining supported tools, guardrails, and benefits to students.

\\xa7\\xa0 Gathering input from faculty senates, administrators, and trustees helps develop policies with broad support.

\\xa7\\xa0 The goal is to help faculty build practical, adoptable policies and frameworks.

\\xa0

Empowering Staff and Administrators with AI

\\xa7\\xa0 AI can predict enrollment likelihood, target personalized communications, and boost yield.

\\xa7\\xa0 Demographic analysis helps universities understand the demand for new programs or facilities.

\\xa7\\xa0 AI chatbots provide 24/7 student assistance while machine learning optimizes campus operations.

\\xa0

Three Key Recommendations for Higher Ed Leaders

  1. \\xa0Immerse yourself in new AI technologies and consider applications across all university functions.
  2. Use shared governance to surface concerns, build consensus, and codify responsible AI usage policies.
  3. Leverage technology to drive student success and support their growth and development.

\\xa0

By embracing AI as a performance tool thoughtfully and transparently, with the student experience at the center, colleges and universities can significantly improve institutional performance and student outcomes. The synergies between human and computer intelligence pave the way for incredible advancements in the years ahead.

Transformative Change Models in Higher Education - Part 2

Published: June 4, 2024, 6:30 p.m.
Duration: 23 minutes 35 seconds \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Understanding change theory and the process of change is crucial for driving transformative change in higher education.

\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Change must be driven by a meaningful purpose owned by all stakeholders.

\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Transformative change takes time, requires support, space for experimentation, and acceptance of mistakes as part of the learning process.

Aligning Change with Core Identity, Mission, and Legacy:

\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Ensuring that the desired change aligns with the institution\'s core identity, mission, and legacy is vital for successful transformation.

\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) serves as an excellent example of aligning change with core identity and mission.

The Role of Service Learning in Pedagogy and Research:

\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Service learning plays a crucial role in transforming teacher preparation programs and enhancing both pedagogy and research.

\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Partnerships between universities and high schools reveal a rich, reciprocal relationship where professors learn as much from teachers as teachers learn from them.

\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Service learning enriches research, enabling professors to explore new ideas and change their conceptual frameworks within and across disciplines.

Rethinking Tenure and Promotion:

\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 The traditional allocation of weight in tenure and promotion may need to be reconsidered to address changing demographics and challenges in higher education.

\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Recognizing the importance of faculty engagement with the community and the potential for service learning to enhance both pedagogy and research.

Bridging the Gap Between High School and Higher Education:

\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Collaborating with high school teachers to develop critical thinking skills and willingness to engage with novel problems among incoming students.

\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Aligning with the findings from the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) studies on employer expectations for essential life skills.

\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Learning from the example of Lucy Cavendish College, University of Cambridge, in bridging the gap between high school and higher education.

The Importance of External Facilitators in the Change Process:

\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 The role of external facilitators in providing a neutral perspective, navigating institutional dynamics, and lending credibility to the change process.

\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 The value of a presidential onboarding process conducted by an external facilitator for presidents appointed from outside the institution.

Three Key Takeaways for University Presidents and Boards:

\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Understand change theory and the process of change, recognizing that change must be driven by a meaningful purpose owned by all stakeholders.

\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Ensure that the change aligns with the institution\'s core identity, mission, and legacy.

\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Navigate the challenges of establishing networks and building trust, whether appointed from within the institution or coming from the outside.

The insights shared in this two-part series serve as a valuable guide for university presidents, boards, and executive leadership seeking to drive meaningful change in higher education.

    Adapting to Disruption: Unity University's Remarkable Success - Part 1

    Published: Feb. 13, 2024, 6:30 p.m.
    Duration: 34 minutes 14 seconds
  • 75 percent of the universities and colleges that have closed or merged over the last five years were not under regulatory watch and/or warning or probation because our measuring stick does not meet the realities of the 21st-century institution.

  • Academia is excellent at identifying and deconstructing the problem yet stymied by the challenge of adapting to change in processes and governance to meet market demand, even at the risk of its survival.\\xa0

    • \\xa0

    High Achievement Growth in Institutional Performance

    • Unity went from 540 students to over 7,500, and expecting 10,000 within the next 2 years.

    • Graduation rates are impressively high, alternative loans are less than 3%, and placement rates are over 80%.


    Dr. Khoury\'s mindset for achieving those big successes are:

    1. Never be the smartest person in the room.

    2. Be willing to (metaphorically) take a punch in the face and not fall down.

    3. Figure out what you\'re really trying to do.

    \\xa0

    Building a Sustainable and Agile Enterprise Model

    • Building\\xa0an Enterprise Model requires thinking outside the one-size-fits-all model to create a new program and model that:

    o\\xa0\\xa0 \\xa0delivers what potential students want.

    o\\xa0\\xa0 delivers it in an adaptable model that lets students shift when they want or need.

    o\\xa0\\xa0 does not compromise on the pedagogy or the experience based on the student type.


    Creating Distinct Independent Sustainable Education Business Units (SEBUs)

    \\xa0

    o\\xa0\\xa0 Distance Education\\xa0\\u2013 online learning

    o\\xa0\\xa0 Hybrid Learning\\xa0\\u2013\\xa0in-person and online learning

    o\\xa0\\xa0 Sustainable Ventures \\u2013 revenue-generating businesses that provide a real-world manifestation of our curriculum

    o\\xa0\\xa0 Technical Institute for Environmental Professions\\xa0\\u2013 in-person and online learning offering associate degrees and certificates


    • They segment verticals and treat them as subsidiaries with their own faculty, staff, and P&L.\\xa0

    • \\xa0When learning designers, faculty, and staff focus on the adult place-bound student, they don\'t have to compromise for the faculty, learning designer, or staff working on the community college commuter program, the residential program, and the like.\\xa0

    • It allows the creation of programs, calendars, tuitions, and service types without the one-size-fits-all confines and compromises.

    \\xa0

    The Enterprise Model Non-traditional Org Structure

    \\xa0

    • Unity\'s organizational structure emphasizes a balance between centralized decision-making for the enterprise and decentralized decision-making for subsidiaries.\\xa0

    • The enterprise ensures compliance, assessment, and policy enforcement, while subsidiaries have authority over their own affairs within established guidelines.\\xa0

    • Roles are differentiated based on the level of responsibility within the enterprise or subsidiary.

    \\xa0

    Efficient Curriculum Development: Streamlining Processes and Reducing Delays

    \\xa0

    • \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0Unity emphasizes collaboration between departments to avoid duplication and ensure unique offerings in their curriculum, aiming to streamline processes and reduce delays.

    • Instead of creating duplicate courses, departments "buy" courses from each other. For example, if one department wants an online course, they purchase it from another department specializing in online education.

    • The approach ensures consistency in curriculum across different departments, making it easier for students to transfer credits.

    • They have redefined traditional faculty roles, allowing curriculum design and pedagogy experts to collaborate with subject matter experts to create tailored courses.

    Recruitment Strategies and Data:

    \\xa0

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Utilizing data to understand trends, gaps, and future directions is crucial.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Institutions should analyze their demographics, faculty representation, and peer comparisons to identify areas for improvement in diversity and inclusion.

    \\xa0

    Differences Between Recruiting for Masters and Doctoral Students:

    \\xa0

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Master\\u2019s recruitment should focus on the immediate career benefits and ROI, while doctoral recruitment should emphasize research opportunities and expectations.

    Three Key Takeaways for Higher Education Presidents and Boards

    1.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Explore Mergers and Acquisitions When Beneficial

    If a school can benefit from merging with, being acquired by, or acquiring another institution in terms of its educational mission, community service, or finances, it should confidently consider such options.

    2.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Proceed with Caution and Strategic Partnership

    It is crucial to choose partners carefully. Institutions should merge or acquire only if it leads to mutual benefits such as scale, management efficiency, or program diversity. Avoid merging failing institutions as it only leads to a larger failing entity.

    3.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Ensure Professionalism and Meticulous Planning

    Mergers and acquisitions in higher education require sophisticated handling of legal, financing, and academic issues. Professional guidance is essential to navigate these complexities and to model successful institutional mergers.

    Final Thoughts

    As we navigate these pivotal regulatory changes, it\'s clear that their impact goes beyond mere compliance. These shifts represent a transformative moment in higher education, prompting institutions to rethink their strategies around mergers and acquisitions. The implications are profound, potentially reshaping the very fabric of higher education as we know it. Institutions must not only adapt to these changes but also seize the opportunities they present for innovation and sustainable growth.

    AAUP Report on Political Interference in Higher Education

    Published: Dec. 12, 2023, 6:30 p.m.
    Duration: 49 minutes 26 seconds \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 The rarity of such comprehensive reports by AAUP, with only eight instances in its history, three of which occurred in the last three years.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 The specific case of Florida under Governor DeSantis\'s administration highlights legislative and administrative actions perceived as politically motivated attacks on academic freedom, faculty rights, and tenure.

    Investigation Approach:

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Conducting over 65 interviews with various stakeholders, including faculty, students, alumni, and former presidents, while noting challenges in engaging current administrators and political leaders.

    Major Findings:

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 The hostile takeover of New College is a model for potential future actions in other institutions.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Academic administrators\' failure to contest or, in some cases, complicity in these attacks.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Legislative actions are collectively seen as an effort to enforce a narrow political ideology.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 The chilling effect of these actions on academic freedom and the higher education environment.

    Human Impact:

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 The emotional and professional toll on faculty and students, with significant faculty departures and declining academic standards.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 The broader implications for the quality of higher education in Florida and potential nationwide consequences.

    \\xa0

    Key Takeaways for University Presidents and Boards:

    \\xa0

    1. Thoroughly Review the Report: University presidents, administrators, provosts, deans, and other leaders actively engage with the contents of the report. Don\'t just skim through it; understand its implications for your institution and its broader impact on academic freedom.

    2. Build Resilience and Courage: Leaders in higher education are strongly urged to cultivate the strength to face political pressures. This involves developing a steadfast approach to defending the rights and freedoms of your institutions, faculty, and students against politically motivated pressures.

    3. Stand Up for Academic Integrity: When confronted with situations that threaten academic freedom or the integrity of your institution, take a clear and firm stand, even if it entails personal or professional risks. Demonstrating leadership in such situations is crucial.

    4. Voice Your Concerns Publicly: In Florida, it\'s mostly retired university presidents who are making statements against these issues. Encourage not only retired but also current university leaders to speak out against political interference. Public statements from active leaders can have a significant impact and inspire others to follow suit.

    \\xa0

    Final Thoughts

    The critical nature of the current situation in higher education is a pivotal moment in the history of institutions. We are reminded that what\'s happening in Florida is not just an isolated issue but a warning sign of the potential nationwide impact of political interference in academia. Leaders in higher education are urged to recognize the severity of this crisis and respond with conviction and strength. It\'s a call to action for maintaining the integrity and freedom of our academic institutions against partisan politics, ensuring these values are upheld for future generations.

    Navigating President Turnover: Higher Ed Leadership Challenges

    Published: Aug. 22, 2023, 6:30 p.m.
    Duration: 25 minutes 19 seconds \\xa7\\xa0\\xa0 \\xa0The role of the university president has become much more complex and challenging over the last few years, causing the average tenure of presidents to fall from 10 to 3.7 years. There has never been more political interference and influence on higher ed as there is now, especially in Texas, Florida, and North Carolina. For example, the governor of Florida recently directed his attorney general to file a lawsuit against the Department of Education on changing accreditors.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0\\xa0 \\xa0There\'s also an unprecedented amount of pushback on DEI when diversity and inclusion were once very much a part of higher ed. In Ohio, a very anti-DEI bill was introduced that would restrict what higher education could do on diversity issues. This change in focus is forcing presidents to juggle what can be taught in the classroom and their faculty, who are very much invested in DEI initiatives.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0\\xa0 \\xa0Divisions and political beliefs are also over-influencing boards, causing them to be more directive and engaged in operational issues than they should be. As a result, sound board governance has declined, with many boards going rogue. Politicized boards also are forcing presidents to translate policy into operations when this should be done in parallel and jointly by the board, while boards are sticking their noses into what can be taught, which should be decided by the president.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0\\xa0 \\xa0For example, at the University of Virginia, the board chair\\xa0recently told the president to announce her resignation at the next board meeting before board members were made aware of this decision. At Chapel Hill, the board refused to grant tenure to a distinguished journalist for political reasons. A similar situation occurred at Texas A&M.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0\\xa0 \\xa0Funding issues are mounting and will likely worsen, forcing presidents to make massive cuts to programs, negatively affecting faculty morale. Presidents are also more involved in fundraising than ever, complicating their leadership roles. Meanwhile, big-time intercollegiate athletic programs are forcing presidents to cobble together money to keep these expensive enterprises afloat.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0\\xa0 \\xa0There are two reasons universities can still hire presidents despite these major problems. The first is that it\\u2019s human nature to want to advance and meet new challenges. As a result, many people are still compelled to rise to the top. The second is that salaries and compensation packages for presidents have escalated dramatically. There are several presidents earning compensation packages of $1 million or more per year.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Prospective students, particularly first-gen, need confidence in college success. Partnering with high schools to guide students through higher ed processes is crucial, preventing doubts upon college entry. Communicating the value of post-secondary degrees is vital.

    \\xa0

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 AP, ACE, or IB courses may favor out-of-state prospects. Dual enrollment credit disparities can arise even within a state due to high school recommendations.

    \\xa0

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Dual enrollment at high schools can lack the college experience. Transfer credit inconsistencies hinder student progression.

    \\xa0

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Retaking courses during transfers, especially within the same state, impedes student advancement.

    \\xa0

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 In a study, CCD students transferring between Denver universities faced redundant courses. Transparency, a task force, and aligned objectives addressed this.

    The Impact of Crushing Student Debt on American Society: Causes, Consequences, and Solutions

    Published: July 18, 2023, 6:30 p.m.
    Duration: 35 minutes 24 seconds \\xa7\\xa0 The cost of higher ed in terms of percentage of household income has risen dramatically in the past 50 years. In 1969, the cost of public college education was $1,545 per year, 19% of the median household income. In 2020, it was just under $29,000, or 42% of the median household income. That\'s about two and a half times more expensive as a function of household income. On an inflation-adjusted metric from 1969 to 2020, it\\u2019s between 3 \\xbd - 4 times as expensive. In other words, the cost of four years in 1969 was the same as that of one year in 2020.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0 A driving force behind this rise in tuition is that some administrators and presidents prioritize rankings and performing well vis-\\xe0 a-vie their competitors. They know what colleges the other students are applying to and want to ensure their students have a similar or better college experience, including more physical and mental health services, nicer campus facilities, larger research departments, more public services for the community, and other ancillary services. There are also more administrators per student than before.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0 Another theory as to why tuition is so high is because state support has dropped from 50-70% of the tuition a student pays to around 12%. However, in 2017, Professor Douglas Webber of Temple University roughly found that for every $1,000 in state budget cuts, students pay an extra $300 \\u2013 $315 more per year in tuition and fees. This addresses only 30% of the problem.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0 Adding to the rising tuition costs, most administrators discuss expanding departments or hiring new faculty versus cost-cutting and reducing tuition\\u2014many plan to construct a new building once a year or every other year. Very few or no administrators say that one of their top five priorities is to adopt the Six Sigma approach, which involves constantly getting incrementally better over a very long period. This can include delivering the same quality education or same quality experience but with 2% fewer resources every single year. Higher ed leaders respond, \\u201cNo, we have a budgeting process, and each department has to fit within their budget.\\u201d John Katzman, who founded Princeton Review, says up to a third of overall university expenses could eventually be cut without damaging the education experience.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0 One solution to rising tuition costs would be that a large consortium of schools, e.g., PAC-12 schools or all Midwest liberal arts schools that happen to compete with one another, should announce they are not going to raise tuition by more than inflation each year for the next ten years. These savings could go back to the school departments to figure out how to do more with less every year.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0 Higher ed presidents need to know the average debt per student upon graduation and the degree to which they\'ve been able to pay it off in five or ten years. If they don\\u2019t, the first step is to figure out what that is. Boards need to establish the objective. If boards discover that 30%, 40%, or 50% of students ten years out cannot repay their debt, one objective can be for the president to improve that somehow.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0 Campuses must identify if certain types of students cannot pay, specific academic thresholds that make it unlikely for students to graduate, or more likely to take on more debt if they don\\u2019t cross them. Also, if there are certain areas of study where students are more or less successful when repaying their debts or not having debt. Then, institutions must establish a clear objective. For example, possible goals could include that within five years, graduates\\u2019 student debt delinquency rate will drop from 20% to 10%, the graduation rate will increase from 70% to 80%, or the debt upon graduation will decrease from $30k to $20k.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0 Cust-cutting must be included in prioritization. Most schools have an annual or semi-annual process whereby they look at objectives, whether it\'s new facilities for staff or a department, and then rank them in order. But cost-cutting is rarely ranked in the top five. Reducing tuition and cost-cutting doesn\'t have to be dramatic. It can be to freeze, maintain, or have budgets increase at inflation, minus 1%, every year and then force the department heads to figure out a way to work within that framework.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0 Bring in a consultant or have faculty figure out ways to increase revenue without raising tuition. Identify where the campus is getting other resources if they are selling their services to other areas, utilizing their facilities and research more efficiently, or partnering with other businesses.

    Higher Ed Cybersecurity MOVEit Hack

    Published: July 11, 2023, 7 p.m.
    Duration: 32 minutes 30 seconds \\xa7\\xa0 MOVEit, a third-party tool used by the National Student Clearinghouse and others to move large data pieces, was recently compromised, compromising institutional data. This is having a downstream impact on higher ed since many institutions engage with the NSC.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0 In addition to performing triage and internal assessments, higher ed institutions must reach out to all of their vendors and contractors and ask if they use MOVEit and, if they are, what they are doing to protect their data.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0 It is important to have a process in place for vetting third-party risk. EDUCAUSE\\u2019s HECVAT can help address this and future problems. It\\u2019s a standard set of questions that institutions can ask third-party vendors about security and privacy. Over 150 colleges and universities use HECVAT version 3.0\\u2019s questionnaire in their procurement process. Large vendors like Microsoft and Google have completed it.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0 HECVAT makes it easier for vendors since they don\\u2019t have to answer bespoke questionnaires from numerous institutions that might have their nuances and differences. It also allows the community of CISOs and cybersecurity privacy practitioners in higher ed to have a conversation around a grounded standardized set of questions.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0 The Federal Trade Commission\\u2019s Safeguards Rule, which changed the standards around safeguarding customer information, went into effect on December 9th, 2021. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act that took effect in early June of 2023 required higher education institutions to meet the elements of those rule changes. There are nine elements.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0 The primary rule change is designating a CISO or a qualified individual responsible for protecting customer information or student financial aid data. The second is to perform a risk assessment at least annually by a third party or internally.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0 The third involves access review controls. Institutions must annually vet employees granted access to information and ensure more people haven\\u2019t been granted access. Institutions must know where all data resides and that all incoming data is identified. Institutions must ensure data is protected and encrypted when it\'s being stored and in use, ensure the coding or development of any software that interacts with the Department of Education\\u2019s data follows secure practices, ensure data that institutions should no longer have or that has aged out has been properly disposed of, and ensure change management has been implemented. Institutions must identify who has access to customer information and annually review their logs.

    \\xa0

    \\xa7\\xa0 The fourth ensures that institutions annually validate that these controls are in place and working as intended. The fifth mandates that the individuals who interact with the Department of Education and use customer information are appropriately trained and aware of the risks involved. The sixth ensures institutions have a program and process to address and test for third-party risks. Seventh mandates having a prescriptive plan for responding to incidents, regularly testing and validating the plan to see if it\\u2019s working, and identifying the lessons learned. The ninth mandates that the CISO annually reports to the board or president.

    Florida v. Department of Education Accreditation and Quality Control

    Published: July 4, 2023, 6:30 p.m.
    Duration: 36 minutes 30 seconds Florida\\u2019s Gov DeSantis directed his attorney general to file a lawsuit against the Department of Education. The case, Florida v. Department of Education, questions the authority of the Department to have a third party certify the quality of education, require independent boards, and a host of other things. Florida\\u2019s complaint was filed in federal district court on June 21. The US Department of Justice has yet to file a response.

  • Before the lawsuit, Florida passed a law at Gov DeSantis\\u2019 direction that would require every institution in the State to change its accreditor in a relatively short cycle. The intent was to get Florida institutions out of the purview of SACSCOC and move to more conservative accreditors. This also had the intention of applying pressure on accreditors to back away from protecting the independence of institutional boards to allow states to take a more affirmative role in what they want to do.

  • The legislation basically asked, \\u201cWhy doesn\'t the Department of Education have an accreditation process for determining what institutions are qualified for the same way that the federal government decides what drugs are suitable for use in medical treatment through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration?"

  • After a harsh reaction, the state changed its stance to say that within two years, the State required that all public institutions in Florida change their primary institutional accreditor.

  • In the current accreditation process, states authorize institutions to grant degrees by their criteria, and then the school must be accredited by an accrediting agency that the Department has determined to be a reliable arbiter of institutional quality. Then, if the Department of Education determines that the institution has the financial stability and the administrative capability to manage the student aid programs, it could enter into a participation agreement, give Pell Grant loans, and be in the Federal Family Education Loan [FFEL] program, and in the direct loan program, enabling it to access trillions of dollars of student aid.

  • The lawsuit says state governments are the owners of state institutions and that, as creatures of the state, these schools are responsible to the state legislature and the state government. So, if the legislature or the state government directs that these schools should act in a particular way, they should not be prohibited from doing so.

  • This is analogous to an accreditation standard rule that was made to allow for-profit institutions to participate in student aid programs. The rule says that the board must be independent, and a majority of the members of the board are required to be independent of ownership to provide some level of insulation between the financial interests of the parent company, who is the owner, and, by law, the conduct of the institution. This supports the lawsuit\\u2019s theory that the state owns state institutions.

  • The Florida lawsuit first asks the court to determine that outsourcing institutional assessment of institutional quality to a non-governmental entity is an unconstitutional delegation of governmental authority. If that argument is rejected, the lawsuit asks to prevent the Department of Education from restricting the ability of institutions to change their accreditor.

  • Because institutional accreditors are no longer restricted by region or country, Florida winning the lawsuit could result in the creation of different rules regarding the kinds of issues that the institutions are dealing with in Florida. There are also questions on how this could impact how NACIQI and the Department of Education approve accreditors.

  • This accreditation lawsuit is similar to the ongoing question of whether states have too much authority in SARA. If an institution is accredited, approved by a state, and that state is a participant in NC-SARA, SARA says that the state can offer its online courses anywhere in the US (except California, which is not a signatory to the SARA agreement) without further approval.

    High-Outcome Internships in Higher Ed: Bridge the Workforce Gap and Enhance Student Success

    Published: June 27, 2023, 7:30 p.m.
    Duration: 32 minutes 21 seconds Universities need to ensure that the company and intern are both happy, which requires aligning the objectives of all parties involved. Identify what both sides seek regarding set criteria, tasks, and skills. What skills are companies looking to gain? What skills do they already have? What skills would the intern like to offer the company?

  • Verbal communication must occur before the program begins and should involve identifying projects that the intern must complete by the end of the program. For example, three to five mini-projects can be devised for the intern so they feel they\'ve accomplished something by the end of the program. Ad hoc and spontaneous assignments can be beneficial, but more structure is recommended.\\xa0

  • Integrate two-way feedback to encourage strong communication throughout the internship. The host company supervisor needs to provide structured, formalized feedback so the intern knows how they are progressing and what tasks they\'ve accomplished.

    Likewise, the intern needs to give feedback to the company to get accustomed to communicating upward and understanding what it means to show off what they\'ve done. These communications are preferred daily, but must be done weekly at the very least.

  • The company should help integrate the intern into the workplace, and the intern should also make an effort. This involves speaking to as many employees as possible in an in-person setting. In a virtual setting, it may mean being part of the online communication channels, such as Slack groups, the all-hands town halls the company may run, etc. This needs to be considered well in advance of the programming.

  • It is encouraged to have these points agreed upon in writing, signed off by the company, and seen by the student before the internship. Failure to ensure alignment can result in a breakdown in the middle of the partnership.

  • In addition to costing the employer extra money, only providing in-person internships can limit the number of students who can participate in the program while diminishing diversity, equity, and inclusion.

    Many students cannot dedicate additional commuting and in-person time outside of school by having to juggle family and work commitments, etc. Virtual internships are a more scalable, accessible, and equitable approach with many of the same advantages as in-person programs.

  • Higher ed is highly encouraged to create credit-bearing internships. Data has shown that students feel much more satisfied with their university course when embedded into the curriculum and believe they have a higher return on investment.

    Preserving Democracy: The Vital Role of Liberal Arts in Higher Education

    Published: May 23, 2023, 6:30 p.m.
    Duration: 29 minutes 16 seconds
  • Citizenship is any transaction between the individual and society that includes both give and take.

  • The civic domain includes voting, serving on juries, signing petitions, and anything performed in the civic arena that provides input. The cultural domain consists of the arts and religious and sports institutions because they are all part of the public arena.\\xa0

  • The Liberal Arts isn\'t limited to the humanities. The social sciences, including economics and the natural sciences, especially when dealing with technology and climate change, are part of the liberal arts. Law courses should also be prerequisites since everyone is affected by and lives under the law and, therefore, should gain a sense of what the law entails.\\xa0

  • Businesses are looking for liberal arts graduates, not necessarily people who studied business. Similarly, editors are looking for liberal arts majors, not journalism majors, because they have broader educations.

  • Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, who founded the precursor to the University of Pennsylvania, believed that higher education was more than just a pre-professional exercise.\\xa0

  • The US became a superpower in the last 170 years since the Civil War, with primarily a liberal arts model of higher education.\\xa0

  • Another book that complements\\xa0Inside the Liberal Arts is After the Ivory Tower Falls by Will Bunch, which is a history of the lost vision of the GI Bill.

    The Value of Micro-Credentials for Higher Education Institutions

    Published: May 9, 2023, 6:30 p.m.
    Duration: 36 minutes 54 seconds
  • Micro-credentials enable learners to acquire specific skills or knowledge efficiently that professional organizations can use to retain or rescale employees. Micro-credentials can align with new technologies and help describe a partnership between, for example, a university and an industry at large. They allow students to take the learning journey they want and to design and manage what services they can provide through technology.

  • Higher ed and employers can trust micro-credentials backed by professional organizations like the American Medical Association or the American Psychological Association that create standards of professionalism for their industries. But conversely, micro-credentials should be questioned if they come from an organization without industry trust or buy-in or that is purely motivated by profit.

  • If the micro-credential is part of a public-private partnership, look at where their partnership started. The more time that was taken to incorporate the multiple voices of the university community and design the program, gives more value to the micro-credential.

    A program designed with the university\'s deans, faculty, and community engagement managers is also more valuable. It should have been a collaborative process without one body or another having the power to veto the final product. Also, question the value of a micreocredential if an external private organization dictated how to design it for the university.

  • It\\u2019s worth the experimentation for a school to invest in at least a small part of a micro-credentialing program that they feel speaks to their strengths. Institutions that consider the external reviews from publications like the Chronicle of Higher Education that identify what specific colleges or universities are known for as opposed to what the institution feels they\'re known for can become more self-aware and invest in the areas where they see their core strength.

  • Next, college team members work with those schools\\u2019 teachers and counselors to understand the backgrounds and lives of these students to learn how they can help these schools improve these students\\u2019 grades.

  • Because most of these students can\\u2019t access traditional higher ed outreach programs, the college provides free online workshops every fortnight with academic subject teachers who understand both the high school curriculum and university demands. Through this program, prospective students meet like-minded peers with similar backgrounds, creating a sense of belonging.

  • Roundabout Now, a boot camp program similar to U.S. affinity groups, provides career guidance and helps identify which universities and courses resonate with students\\u2019 ambitions. In the summer, students create the most competitive college application that will attract the top universities.

  • In addition to learning how to submit critical documents, these summer boot camps help students prepare for tests that some top universities require before the interview process. Staff and faculty discuss these interviews and what interviewers are looking for, and they perform practice interviews.

  • In addition to typical orientation, Bridging Week, a pre-orientation program designed to assist these students, reinforces the idea that they are working at the level their top university requires and provides group teaching sessions where students write essays or solve problem sheets and receive feedback. Bridging Week also provides additional networking opportunities and helps communicate where certain places are on campus so they can feel empowered to make their university work for them.

The \\u201cattract\\u201d phase makes people aware of your institution. \\u201cEngage\\u201d provides them with the information they need to make the right buying decision for them. \\u201cConvert\\u201d gets them from prospect to customer. \\u201cRetain\\u201d keeps that individual through their buying process. \\u201cLoyalty\\u201d represents when you build and foster a relationship with that individual. \\u201cNurture and grow\\u201d expands the nature of your relationship with that individual beyond what you have today.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 \\u201cAttract\\u201d is about how the customer is looking for a solution to solve a problem. So, the institution has an opportunity to position itself as a solution provider. This comes down to identifying your communication strategy and rating the effectiveness of your website design, for example, how easy it is to find the right thing at the right time on the website to move forward. Your SEO strategy has to be dialed in, and the program mix has to be right for the learners you\'re trying to serve. This requires understanding who your learners are, what they like about the institution, and what needs to change. These are the core ways that you can define your target audience. Higher ed has spent too long trying to be Harvard that there\'s a fair number of institutions that have lost sight of what makes them unique, interesting, special, and valuable.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 At \\u201cengage,\\u201d your prospective customers have been on your website and are starting to sift through it to find materials that meet their needs. The majority of students enroll in a post-secondary program because they have specific career outcomes in mind. How are you communicating those career outcomes from a program page perspective? Provide possible salaries that students can earn in their area and tee up relationships with employers. That kind of messaging and visibility will make a massive impact on the students likely to continue onto the next step, which is \\u201cconvert.\\u201d

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 At \\u201cconvert,\\u201d the individual decides they\\u2019ll go through the registration process. There are things that this student must do to adequately apply for the program. Have your enrollment management department and applications department go through an exercise to define every single step. For every single question that you ask these students, ask yourself at every stage, \\u201cIs this a piece of information we need? Or is this a piece of information we already have?\\u201d If you\'re coming from the noncredit or continuing ed world, simplify. How simple can or should you make it? How easy are you making it for that individual to provide exactly the information they need to share and no more? How easy are you making it for them to pay? Are you accepting multiple payment types? Are you legally allowed to take credit card payments?

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 At \\u201cretention,\\u201d you assume that the individual has completed the credential that they enrolled for. The involvement of faculty in the enrollment and retention process is critical. Most of the time, when alumni think back about their college experience, they remember the relationship that they had with a professor or multiple professors. But higher ed has unfortunately created an environment that does not necessarily reward faculty for their capacity to develop and maintain relationships with students. Some schools have, like Arizona State, with its vertical research track, vertical teaching track, and continuing education lifelong learning track. Create a situation where faculty members who are oriented to teaching and want that to be their profession can do that and can be rewarded for it.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 \\u201cLoyalty\\u201d is executed on the back of retention. Loyalty is the exemplification of the relationship you\'ve developed with the individual by their tendency to make another purchase. In higher ed, the metrics for this are whether the individual returned for a post-baccalaureate certificate, enrolled in a professional certification workshop, came back for some kind of upskilling rescaling program, and meaningfully reengaged with the institution. \\u201cLoyalty\\u201d should not be based on fundraising. The higher ed fundraising model is broken since it essentially involves asking graduates to donate because they graduated. Higher ed needs to treat students like consumers and base their relationship with them on teaching and learning. Facilitate greater access to ongoing learning for alumni in the execution of that enrollment.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 To \\u201cnurture\\u201d and \\u201cgrow,\\u201d higher ed needs to address the complexity of their back ends. Everyone has their own systems running, and it\'s very difficult for information to pass from system to system. Alumni who want to reenroll at their alma mater for ongoing education should not have to go through another 30-step registration process. Start by creating tighter relationships between continuing education, the main campus, and alumni relations. Create consistent and high-quality credentialing frameworks that clearly define what a badge is, what a competency is, what a micro-credential is, and what a certificate is. Then make the information that transfers between all these various systems seamless to create a more streamlined experience for students.

    Institutional Accreditation is in Dire Need of Change

    Published: Feb. 28, 2023, 6:30 p.m.
    Duration: 30 minutes 33 seconds \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 What conversations should accreditors have with institutions,

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Should accreditors focus on licensure,

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 What the Department of Education needs to hold accreditors accountable for, and why,

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 What analyses should accreditors perform and make more transparent,

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Why accreditation should look at how effectively higher ed prepares graduates for licensed professions,

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Where public members of commissions can play a more critical role in accreditation processes, and

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 The polarization of higher ed and boards.

    Podcast Highlights

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Accreditation should lead conversations on the quality of adaptability, teamwork, the ability to work with new technology, and traversing multiple careers in one\'s lifetime. In addition, accreditation should pay more attention to licensing certification issues, performance, and employer satisfaction, and ensure students are prepared for more than one job by receiving repeated mentoring, internships, and counseling.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Accreditation should evaluate how adjunct faculty are deployed and how they are supported and trained when assessing student learning employability skills.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 A traditional faculty senate model that is separate from and often antagonistic to the administration can be a barrier to change. The Chamber of Commerce is working on creating an alternative model to get employers to sidestep higher education.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Accreditors are not held accountable for internal effectiveness because the Higher Education Act doesn\\u2019t fully allow the Department of Education to make any substantial judgments on the efficacy of accreditors. However, accreditors are membership organizations, and the membership elects their Commission. Thus, accreditors should be held accountable by their Commission and their members.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 None of the former regional accreditors have been able to maintain relationships with those associated with K-12 schools following the Department\\u2019s governance changes.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 There\\u2019s a lack of transparency. For example, no compilation or analysis of institutions on probation exists. Higher ed needs more capacity and analysis of accreditors\\u2019 work so accreditors can learn from one another.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Public members of the commissions can play a much more critical role in identifying if accreditation deals effectively enough with essential policy issues such as the $1.7 trillion in student debt, rising costs, the attrition rate, and the inadequate preparation of so-called inadequate preparation for jobs. In addition, public members on all accrediting boards should know what the public demands on accreditation.

    \\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 There likely won\\u2019t be room for the seven former regional accreditors in 15 or 20 years. Mergers will likely occur as a result.\\xa0
