Read @SNHUPresident's op-ed, "As a public good, higher education bears the responsibility to serve all learners, including learners with disabilities. To do this, institutions must invest in the design & delivery of systems that meet their needs." #DisabilityPrideMonth #HigherEd

[Center for Higher Education Policy and Practice @CHEPPtweets]

Learners with disabilities deserve #HigherEd systems that are accessible and inclusive. TODAY: Our new research lays out the path forward for institutions and policymakers – just in time for #DisabilityPrideMonth! Read it here: https://t.co/pd7RBTZT4E

My heart is breaking for President Biden. If the rumors are true, let’s be compassionate. A good man who has devoted his life to serving his country. Regardless of your party, this is a human moment. This is as tough as it gets.

Highly recommend #highered policy folks listen to this important reporting about the implications of college closures on students. Despite increasing college closures, paths for students to transfer remain cumbersome at best. We need to do better. https://t.co/NH1pRAaKkB

#HigherEd: Our latest white paper is out now! It’s a deep dive into the costs of today’s college credit transfer system, and the mindsets and practices that can reduce barriers and improve degree completion rates for #TodaysLearners.

Thank you, @RepAnnieKuster for your 12 years of service to New Hampshire and consistent advocacy for all learners across the country to have high quality, affordable higher education opportunities!

#highered staff across the country who are trying to package student aid amidst unprecedented FAFSA delays are also being asked to pull together new reporting - in both cases having incomplete information. A reporting delay to account for this is a no brainer.

[HCMStrategists @HCMStrat]

What is the #highered risk assessment for potential students? Students are looking at the time it takes to get a degree + cost + utility of that degree to = a guarantee of economic stability. Read our updated study w/ @edgeresearchdc for insights: https://t.co/C2p2UuJNdH

Day 2 of the summit kicks off at the @usedgov

I can't wait to join #highered learners from across the country @TS_Coalition Student Summit next week (especially our @SNHU learners from @rivetschool)!!! See you soon!

Its a great day to introduce bipartisan legislation supporting competency-based education!

BREAKING: Sen. Cassidy confirms that the Government Accountability Office, an independent federal watchdog, has initiated a probe into this year's FAFSA rollout, per the GOP's request.

#highered learners are very different today than than they were 100 years ago and they need systems that meet them where they are. Excited to share @CHEPPtweets new learner-centered design framework that can be applied across education modalities - online, hybrid, in person.

[Jamie Fasteau @JamieFasteau]

Our latest paper, Online by Design, makes the case that learner-centered #OnlineEducation offers critical flexibility for #TodaysLearners – and can help us build a #HigherEd system that better serves everyone. https://t.co/AxS7DLx52m

Common sense + data: @CHEPPtweets report shows that investing in access to basic needs improves persistence. Solvable problem with strong ROI. #letstudentseat
