@_AaronRyan Sopranos for sure.

@James_S_Murphy @FAFSA @FSACOO Looks like @FAFSA is counting total number of transmissions, not unique student FAFSAs, if @NCANetwork's tracker noting 1.67M completed is correct (which I'm confident it is). Not to mention every state has shown a decline in completions. https://t.co/w5zUgobGVW

[Dr. Beth Wolfe @beth_wolfe]

Not wrong.

[Eric Hoover @erichoov]

Should I let AI write my application essays for me?

Or should I keep it old-school and let my mom or private consultant do it?

🤔

[Zena Hitz @zenahitz]

Let's be clear: There's no reason for this. I don't need to look at the WVU budget to know that that 45 million deficit comes from abandoning core mission for superfluous management and marketing, on top of consulting fees. I know that because it is true EVERYWHERE. (14/x)

[Dr. Beth Wolfe @beth_wolfe]

Proud to work for a private university @UCWV that does support local industry needs, particularly health care and education!!

[Zena Hitz @zenahitz]

State universities have a duty that private universities do not, to train for local industries like agriculture or engineering. Even die-hard liberal arts warriors like myself know this. (5/x).

This whole thread….#highered

[Zena Hitz @zenahitz]

I think the WVU situation is actually much more serious than we think. I would like to articulate this, because (as others say) it is of national and international import, bearing on upcoming changes at Florida by @BenSasse and in the UK. (1/x)

[Dr. Beth Wolfe @beth_wolfe]

The “consulting” is such a scam.

[James S Murphy @James_S_Murphy]

So, Ben Sasse paid McKinsey almost $5M to come up with the most tired & obvious strategic plan possible:

high tuition + high aid
online teaching
program cuts

Maybe if he paid them $6M they would've thrown in "boost enrollment" & "visit high schools."

Tremendous thread, but this one in particular!!

[Ben Schmidt / @[email protected] @benmschmidt]

the national disinvestment from the humanities, or even the culture war on the university. At the core is gross mismanagement by those who see university administration in terms of short-term razzle-dazzle changes, not long-term stewardship.

[Dr. Beth Wolfe @beth_wolfe]

@dhfeld1 @JonBoeckenstedt One example...Wayne County, with about 17% holding a degree and about 18% drop out rate. It sits next to Cabell County, home of Marshall University, and many MU employees live in Wayne County. But there's also a part that is very, very rural and economically depressed.

[Dr. Beth Wolfe @beth_wolfe]

@JonBoeckenstedt As a #highered #EM professional in WV, there's not much "wow" in these stats for me, unfortunately. It's the graphical representation the challenges I face every day.

[Dr. Beth Wolfe @beth_wolfe]

Exactly.

[Dr. Beth Wolfe @beth_wolfe]

And now I’m spending the night in the @CLTAirport because I waited in line for ninety+ minutes for @AmericanAir to tell me they don’t give hotel vouchers when cancellations aren’t their fault.

[Dr. Beth Wolfe @beth_wolfe]

Currently I’m wondering which will happen first…getting to the @AmericanAir customer service desk, or a response from their chat system.

[Dr. Beth Wolfe @beth_wolfe]

My only saving grace at this point…not checking a bag. Because why give @AmericanAir another $30 for this glorious experience?

[Dr. Beth Wolfe @beth_wolfe]

Honestly, when my direct flight scheduled for 5:30 this morning was cancelled at 8:00 last night, I should have listened to my gut, cancelled the flight and drove instead. But no, I took the rescheduled flight from @AmericanAir Bad decision.
