Founder & CEO of Better Future Forward, an organization using ISAs to expand educational opportunity for disadvantaged students. All thoughts here are my own.
New research!! Do ISAs favor one racial or gender group over another? Using a proprietary data set of over 7,500 student records, we found no consistent and significant favorability between groups. https://t.co/zobvZAuzLa
Income share agreements “need strong regulations,” argues @KevinJamesEd in the latest episode of @DrBethAkers' “An Economist Goes to College." They discuss ISAs role in the future of paying for college and what might stand in the way of innovation. https://t.co/DguYwis2fS
Kevin buckets ISA value prop to learners as:
• Money (how pay for school?)
• Risk (what if school doesn’t work out?)
• Value (what’s school really worth?)
Well done, Beth and Kevin.
As students navigate their options for paying for college, @DrBethAkers speaks with @BetterFutureFwd’s @KevinJamesEd about the value of income share agreements in the newest episode of “An Economist Goes to College.” https://t.co/DguYwis2fS
@KevinJamesEd & team at Better Future Forward are reinventing how underserved students pay for college and secure middle-class careers. It’s all about equity and student success. (Proud Board Chair) https://t.co/2iyru2J6PT
We’re all going to need to find a new strategy for engaging in politics. We too often resort to shaming and degrading those we disagree with. Regardless of who wins, we have deep wounds to heal in this nation.
@jmspool@BetterFutureFwd is a mission-driven nonprofit seeking a Senior User Researcher and Brand Strategist (remote position, so open to all locales) inspired to help us remake higher education financing around opportunity and equity. https://t.co/9GNQCwa1sd
Excited to share our new paper: "How Philanthropy Can Use Income Share Agreements to Make College Possible for Millions of Dreamers" https://t.co/9nJjwgRgxG
Glad we could move the important dialogue about ISAs forward at #EdFinance2019! It’s great to see the work of @KevinJamesEd, @sdworkforce, and others highlighted here - as well as what is needed to protect the interests of students. https://t.co/vI2AXT79l9
