To Protect Veterans, Keep The VA Ban On Employees Working With For-Profit Colleges

On Sept. 14, the Department of Veterans Affairs quietly announced that it will waive a common-sense ethics law for all of its employees. For over 50 years, the VA has prohibited employees from receiving payments or having other financial relationships with for-profit colleges that receive GI Bill funds. In announcing plans to scrap this ethics […]

Rethinking Higher Education

The ways in which the nature of work is changing beyond our control necessitate a more flexible education system, with “students” no longer being defined just as 18-to-22-year-olds on college campuses. In this era of Netflix subscriptions and Blue Apron dinner deliveries, it’s high time we embrace an education system that’s flexible, accessible and affordable, […]

Hindering Higher Education

The nonprofit Western Governors University is either a great experiment in higher education that has hit a bump in the road, or a flawed institution that is not providing its 83,000 enrolled students — 2,455 of whom live in Missouri — with the education they deserve. The first viewpoint comes from educators and many university […]

“You Need to Get Out”

The nation, especially our commander-in-chief, just got a lesson on how to talk about race and racism, especially when it comes to written racial slurs directed at African-American students. You face the public immediately and directly. You don’t play politics. You don’t say there were many fine people on both sides. Heaven forbid, you don’t […]

Spouses as Students

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending a lunch-time presentation by two local higher education institutions, Central Texas College and Texas A&M University–Central Texas. The two institutions spoke about the unique challenges that military families face and the desire to pursue educational and professional goals while supporting a spouse’s military career. They understood the […]

Divider in Chief

One would think that with all the urgent matters on Donald Trump’s presidential plate, he would have precious little time for throwing racist red meat to his base. Just consider some of the major challenges facing this nation right now: A battle over Americans’ health care. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands — both […]

Keep the Rules

For-profit colleges have their place in higher education, but too many operators have proved to be incredibly bad actors over the years, making reasonable rules meant to protect students the smart play. During the Obama presidency, the Department of Education put in place regulations that its new secretary, Betsy DeVos, has stalled and appears to […]

Standardize Online Education?

This past week this article, Standardization in Online Education, came by my social media feed. It was particularly interesting to me because we are knee deep in discussing the very issues that are discussed in this article. I have very mixed feelings about standardization of online education. I want course sites to adhere to accessibility […]

More Military Spending or Free College?

One of the most controversial proposals put forward by Sen. Bernie Sanders during the 2016 presidential campaign was a pledge to make tuition free at public colleges and universities. Critics from both parties howled that the pie-in-the-sky idea would bankrupt the country. Where, after all, would the money come from? Those concerns were brushed aside […]

Digital Professor Speaks

University and college students will soon be back in their classrooms. However, more and more students now study online, rather than in a classroom. This is both positive and worrisome. I know, as earlier this summer I taught my first online university course. Online education is a transformative disruption in teaching and learning. Freed from […]

Job Hunting

Military spouses have enough trouble finding employment. When it’s time for their servicemember to transition out, it can be daunting. The fear of the civilian sector can be intimidating. What servicemembers and their families need to remember is how much transitioning military have to offer. Recruiting veteran talent is becoming increasingly more competitive. Businesses that […]

We Can Do More

Upon traversing the U.S. 30 bridge from Illinois into Clinton, Iowa, motorists encounter a small but bright sign designating the city as a Home Base Iowa community. I was such a motorist over Labor Day weekend, and though I crossed that bridge countless times over almost two decades, this was the first I noticed the […]
