The time has passed for the singular view that for-profits in higher ed = bad. I’ve been part of many for-profit and nonprofit orgs in my career and have seen the social good BOTH can drive. 2/2

“This notion of driving social good through the business is basically all of what we do @2Uinc. And driving the value prop we deliver requires building a sustainable business.” - @chippaucek@asugsvsummit
“The double bottom line isn’t a choice for @2Uinc. It’s table stakes. We’re built to deliver high-quality outcomes and have been from day one.” -@chippaucek@asugsvsummit

This is appalling on so many levels. Justice and equity should apply to everyone, regardless of gender identity, and no one should have fewer rights or access to healthcare because of who they are. 1/2 https://t.co/geDOdYFulZ
On point: “George Floyd’s death represents not just a failure of policing, but a failure of economic policy, a failure to close wealth and homeownership gaps, and a failure to value Black lives.” Thx @lakeya_cherry https://t.co/01YFhhlAjk
“Racism in America is like dust in the air. It seems invisible — even if you’re choking on it — until you let the sun in. Then you see it’s everywhere. As long as we keep shining that light, we have a chance of cleaning it wherever it lands.“ @kaj33#ShowYouCare
As we all deal with the tragic human and economic toll of COVID-19, which itself is disproportionately impacting communities of color, I am so profoundly disturbed and disheartened by the recent senseless killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor. 1/2
The daily doses of team time (DDOTTs) with our entire
@2uinc team have become a bright spot during this crazy time. @VusiThembekwayo, you joining us today was an honor. Your messages about humility, empathy and purpose are more important now than ever. #NoBackRow#Lifeat2U
Leading effectively during a global crisis is a rare strength. While many schools wait to figure out what they (and others) will do in the Fall due to #COVID19, @SimmonsUniv is making a bold and important move with @2Uinc to ensure students have quality options no matter what.
Like every institution of higher learning, Simmons is navigating the uncertainty of #COVID19 and faces complex choices about the future. We’re proud to announce a plan to ensure students can continue their Simmons journey no matter what happens this fall: https://t.co/BWbkb4ymfj
One of the hundreds (literally hundreds!) of reasons I am proud to work at @2Uinc with incredible partners like @SimmonsUniv and leaders including @chippaucek and @MRuvoldt in the awesome photo below. #Nobackrow
Institutions like @SimmonsUniv that have embraced #onlineed are in a strong position to meet the needs of students in the fall and beyond. Read how we’re expanding our partnership to build an online option for undergrads: https://t.co/1gj9IGOXWK #NoBackRow
