Early Friday Fragments

By Matt Reed. As one awful story of sexual harassment or assault after another goes public, I’m just gonna return to this post from 2011. The Boy was unimaginably younger then, but the piece has aged fairly well. More...

By Matt Reed. IHE published an essay this week applying a variation on the “slow food” movement to college administrators, arguing that we should have fewer meetings so we’d have more time for leisurely, unstructured conversations. More...

Ask the Administrator: New Data, New Dissertation Topic?

By Matt Reed. Compelling research topics.
In light of the new IPEDS data, a longtime reader who is pursuing a doctorate asks:
So, here's the career advice question. Can you think of a compelling research question that can now be explored with the new data and would make a good dissertation topic?

Fun With Data

By Matt Reed. Along with many other community college people, I’m glad to see that the National Center for Education Statistics is finally making some fundamental changes to its IPEDS numbers, which have painted an unduly negative picture of community colleges for decades. More...
