"Community colleges are scrambling to adjust to the many disruptive changes AI is bringing both to the classroom and to how the institutions need to think about preparing students for the future.
That was the subject of a Harvard Business School conference focused on overcoming the unique financial, administrative, and curricula challenges facing the schools, which offer both vocational training and an option for the first two years of a bachelor’s degree program.
What has become clear is that AI cannot be ignored.
“More than 70 percent of employers say they’d rather hire someone with less experience but who understands AI than someone with more experience. That’s a big change,” said Lisa Gevelber, chief marketing officer for Gemini, Google’s AI product.
The daylong conference was organized by the Project on Workforce at HBS, the Education Design Lab, and Axim Collaborative, a Harvard-MIT nonprofit that supports organizations that help students overcome obstacles that keep them from completing a community college education. It featured leaders from both the public and private sectors as well as community college administrators and scholars."

In '22, MA voters enacted the #FairShare, imposing a 4% #surtax on annual incomes above $1M, dedicating the proceeds to #transportation and #education.
…A total of $2.2 billion was collected in the first full year of implementation, far exceeding the original forecast of $1 billion.
Now MA funded #freetuition for #communitycolleges, #freeschoollunch at public schools; lowered fares and expanded bus service statewide, invested in bridges and rail.

🐍 In a twist no one could have predicted, community colleges are struggling to handle the influx of 'bot' students 🤖, because apparently, #programming a response is harder than a freshman's English Lit class 📚. Maybe they should just turn the WiFi off and see who sticks around for the pop quiz 📴.

At the center …would be the foundation, which would “continue his life’s work in #ForeignPolicy, #CancerResearch, #equal treatment before the #law, preventing #violence against #women & #children, support of #CommunityColleges, & American #veterans.”
…One of the most lucrative temptations was…the paid speech circuit, but #Biden’s circle knew it would risk a hit to his reputation, given the controversy that erupted over speeches HillaryClinton gave to GoldmanSachs & other WallSt groups.

Someone whose job includes outreach for the college (and who reports to me) skeptically asked if they should accept in invitation to speak at a junior high school. Yes, I said, 1000% that's a crucial part of outreach, creating a college-going culture in the wider community!

California’s community colleges do not employ enough full-time faculty and in some cases districts are misspending state funds allocated for those faculty instead on too many part-time adjuncts, finds state auditor.

One of the sad parts of being an adjunct is when students ask you to take part in really cool events or clubs...and you just can't 😕 Not because you don't want to, but because the time/days/extra time on campus just doesn't work with responsibilities at multiple schools.

Hi everyone! I know there's a lot of new Mastodon accounts out there 👋 so here's another #Introduction post.
I'm an #ArchitecturalHistorian teaching the history of architecture and art at #CommunityColleges in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm also very active in the Society of Architectural Historian (I know our members are on here somewhere 😉 ) and love writing about architecture when I have the chance.
