#higheredpolicy — Public Fediverse posts

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! Here's a link to the book on the publisher's website: https://www.tcpress.com/reexamining-the-federal-role-in-higher-education-9780807766767 #BookAward #Edutooters #HigherEducation #HigherEdPolicy

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!

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

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 #regional publics 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

New article by Jon Edelman in "Diverse: Issues in Higher Education" discussing the recent court ruling that vacated the #Biden administration's #LoanForgiveness plan, quoting me and other #HigherEdPolicy experts: https://www.diverseeducation.com/leadership-policy/article/15303074/an-existential-threat-experts-talk-impact-of-student-loan-forgiveness-ruling
