  • Putting Strategy, Ambition and Guts Back into College Fundraising

    One of the tired adages about American higher education is that the role of the university president is "to live in a big house and travel the world with a tin cup in one's hand." The commentary on the implosion of Gordon Gee at Ohio State University this week picks up on this theme to embellish the image of president as chief supplicant.

  • CDR Manipulation: Who is REALLY Responsible?

    Information and data readily available on the U.S. Department of Education’s websites shows a different picture of what is going on with cohort default rates. Many would like the public to believe that for-profit institutions and their third party servicers are manipulating their default rates to maintain eligibility in the Title IV Federal Student Loan and Grant Programs. Since the school’s eligibility is based upon their official cohort default rates, the schools definitely have a vested interest in the outcome. Most of these institutions, however, are appropriately doing a very good job of educating their borrowers consistent with the mandates for them to do so.

  • Education and Technology: Bridging the Gap

    There is an inherent rift between education and technology that makes the concept of education technology interesting. Take the phrase in its two parts: on the one hand, technology infers the world of computers, tablets, cloud software, SaaS applications, and more that change at an unbelievably rapid pace. On the other hand, education is a regulated and somewhat bureaucratic industry that has tried-and-true methods in lesson planning and traditional teaching methods. Furthermore, education in the United States is a resource-strapped industry, where school districts and states need the most cost-effective means of educating children. Therefore, technology is not always the most sustainable investment for schools, because one year after purchasing a suite of iPads to equip the school in the latest technology, a new product will enter the market and make the tablet obsolete.

  • No Textbooks, Please: Students as Content Authors

    Mobiles and the web support a radical shift in pedagogy. Currently, our teaching sees knowledge as an object and learning as the transfer of that object from one person to another. Even our language reflects this: we say “I have some knowledge.” John Seely Brown, a researcher specializing in the organizational impact of technology, argues that that model is being replaced by one where knowledge is socially constructed and learning is a process of coming to understand. We need a new methodology to support this new pedagogy. - See more at: http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/23262#sthash.uulwZmJj.dpuf

  • Righting the Ship on Higher Education Costs

    President Obama announced last week an initiative to lower the cost of college for the middle class. He is on the right topic. Higher education, America’s flagship of international leadership, is a proud vessel in need of attention. I just hope he won’t replace the rudder without patching the leaks.

  • Leading the Charge: The Faculty's Role in Governance

  • Rebuilding Higher Education: Playing to Win

    President Obama has set the higher education agenda for the remainder of his term by linking consumer fears with politics. There is substance in the president's arguments about sticker price, the squeezing of the American middle class and the failure to provide access to a higher education degree for those who seek it.

  • The Search for the Perfect College

    It's summer. The college road trip experience has begun in earnest for many high school students. The approach to this search by students and their families varies widely.

  • Preparing for Hard Choices

    Apparently as our first act of political will in 2013, we have “kicked the can down the road” to sail the can past the “fiscal cliff” to land somewhere where we can rediscover it in time for the “big fight” in March. And these are the folks who in their wisdom are demanding increased oversight for American higher education? I feel so much better now having watched American national politics in action through the holidays.

  • Finding Students Where They Live

    I had lunch in Boston last week with Rob Hutter and Michael Staton, partners at Learn Capital, based near San Francisco. Both are extremely creative, committed and entrepreneurial thinkers about the intersection of ed tech and higher education. The conversation ranged widely as time flew by. What struck me most during it, however, was a theme that has repeated itself in a number of conversations I've participated in over the past few months.

  • Getting Ready

    An important issue has yet to take center stage in the debate simmering over the impact that credentialing will have on the relevancy of a college degree. There is a difference between completing certification that leads a student/employee to present credentials and verification that credentials actually demonstrate proficiency. What happens if our commitment to increasing access effectively leads to a “dumbing down” of learned outcomes? In the end, who's in charge
