What Higher Ed Needs From Its Leaders Right Now
In this era of mounting pressures, presidents must be financially literate, empathetic, courageous, and good at building trust.
It's unbelievable how many dynamic companies broke their streaks of engineer-CEOs for the first time in the 2000s, installing their first MBA/finance CEOs, who then promptly made fundamental strategic errors that nixed the company's future, that are now becoming obvious.
The latest article by @Carlsonics is a must read if you care about higher ed in this country. We are quickly losing the diversity of the sector that has been one of its strengths and creates a healthy ecosystem. chronicle.com/article/the-en…
Highly recommended article. Higher education isn’t just about making a living. It’s about making a difference and making meaning for finding purpose in the world and in your work. It’s Not All About the Money chronicle.com/article/its-no…
Finally! A thoughtful perspective on higher education that isn’t “all about the money.” Purpose & meaning matter. Thank you @Carlsonics and I look forward to the book. chronicle.com/article/its-no…
EXCELLENT - MUST READ! Colleges Are Selling Themselves as Wage-Boosters. They Have Something Better to Offer. chronicle.com/article/its-no…
The key is that it’s not an either/or.
This isn't wrong--but let's look at some nuance from @ThirdWayEDU's new polling data: chronicle.com/article/its-no…
As a former President of a financially distressed institution, I can attest to the importance of analyzing. We were able to achieve the highest CFI rating the institution had ever received. Why It Can Be So Difficult to Gauge a College’s Financial Health chronicle.com/article/why-it…

Thanks for sharing Dave. Added other thoughts on @kathrynbpalmer's @insidehighered article re: #quality & #stackable non-degree credentials on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/posts/shalinjy… H/T @etkeld @scottcarlson @Carlsonics @paulfain for related recent reporting & comments
Educators see the value in microcredentials but need more information to be able to make informed recommendations to students @insidehighered @ASA_Impact @jfftweets @ShalinJyotishi #skills #durableskills #criticalthinking #microcredentials insidehighered.com/news/tech-inno…
For those of us who have spent lifetimes on a campus, we know that college is worth it. We can tell you the names of the students and the generational trajectories a degree provides. @Carlsonics and @chronicle puts light on the current narrative. chronicle.com/article/whats-…

I've never seen a better illustration of the sunk cost fallacy. I'll be using it in my class from now on.
Quote of the week: "Advocates for transfer students have tried to set up equivalency tools...or to push state governments to force colleges to accept the courses. Then what you saw was just a lot of monkey business" bit.ly/44XJ7eu #HigherEd @meikled_john @Carlsonics

Why Transferring Credits Can Be One of Higher Ed’s Most Stubborn Barriers
Bureaucracy, institutional self-interest, and minor systemic snags can make moving from community college through a four-year institution almost unbearably difficult.
So much painful truth here. This sentence resonated with me: "The barriers hide in the granularity, where bureaucratic inertia meets institutional self-interest..." @transfertweet chronicle.com/article/the-tr…

My story about #transfer is really about #college bureaucracy -- common barriers to #studentsuccess, yet rarely mentioned when people talk about #gradrates, #equity, #access, etc. Many of those barriers arise from inertia, skewed incentives, and apathy. #HigherEducation
