This May Be the Worst Season of Summer Melt in Memory. Here's How Some Colleges Are Fighting It. https://t.co/JPz4gZfezD "Melt" is a new term for me, but it's something that community colleges stand to benefit from with good outreach. #firstgen

@insidehighered At my college, an instructor in the "I'll never teach online" camp just told me that her summer online course was the best course she ever taught. It was synchronous with Zoom. And she is a seasoned educator ready to learn new skills to support students.

This is an opportunity for colleges whose missions serve needy or underrepresented students to attract students that other institutions are not serving.

Advocacy for a fully online semester seems to own the ethical high ground right now. But at what cost to our neediest students? https://t.co/1WFaZ6e860

@_VCopeland @AcademicChatter When I was a Ph.D student at Penn State I was part of the search committee for a tenure track position. It was a valuable experience.

The cuts to full-time, unionized faculty is surprising.

Affirming the value of degrees for new students: "Raising alarms about the value of college because graduates aren’t able to accumulate wealth more quickly" is like saying "the graduation party was ruined because the champagne wasn’t cold enough." @NAUJacqueline

[Gates United States @GatesUS]

There are changes that need to be made in #HigherEd – no doubt about it. But reports raising alarms about the value of college often don’t give the full picture of the value of a college degree in the workplace. https://t.co/uVKSBNkUBT

@NAUJacqueline I think that college degrees will still be relevant, but with how quickly technology and globalization are progressing, I don't think we can really fathom what those degrees will look like.
