Things Are Looking Up (Policy-wise)!

By Tracy Mitrano. First, two sides of the Hillary Clinton coin. One side is that she has made a serious proposal for higher education reform. Although attention to higher education has increased in the political arena for some time now, Clinton’s proposal strikes me as the most serious. Whether you like her or not, a serious proposal for access to higher education breaks the “public policy” barrier. Read more...

Ch-Ch-Changes

By Lee Skallerup Bessette. I don’t remember the last time I opened up my laptop to write a blog post, after the kids have gone to bed. Tonight is different.

Doonesbury Does Academe

By Kenneth C. Green. Give credit where credit is due. Few observers capture and skewer academe and academics as well as Doonesbury, created by Garry Trudeau. The weekend and Sunday strips about the mythical Walden College efficiently and effectively capture, in four to eight panels, much of what gives cause for concern to both insiders and outsiders about academic culture and higher education.

Combating Cynicism in Graduate School

By Katie Shives. Almost every department has that person who has elevated cynicism to an art. You know the one. That person who is always unhappy with and verbally tearing down her project, his program, her advisor, journal club presentations, or pretty much any part of the graduate school experience. Usually this is a senior student or postdoc, but these personalities can be found in any corner of academia if you look hard enough. Read more...
