Loyalty Points En Route to Replacing Student Loans

By Suzanne Tyson - EvoLLLution. 1. What are some of the sources of higher education’s “unexpected costs” for non-traditional students?
Most of the media coverage on the expense of higher education talks about the tuition cost as the big factor. It’s not the tuition in a lot of cases that’s hard for students to cover; it’s all of the other expenses that go along with it. Not having income while you’re attending school, the transportation costs, the food costs, are incredibly expensive. More...

How Higher Ed Keeps Google’s Engine Running

By Maggie Johnson - EvoLLLution. When I think about continuing education for Google’s engineers, there are three areas it encompasses. The first is technical skill development; the second is soft skills, such as leadership development and people management. The third are more tactical skills such as product, program and time management. More...

Five Ways Colleges and the Federal Government Can Reduce Student Loan Default (Part 1)

By Bryce McKibben - EvoLLLution. Student debt, delinquency and default have been receiving plenty of attention in the press lately, and that could foretell bad news for some colleges and universities. This fall, higher education institutions across the country will be held to a newly-calculated standard by the federal government: one that measures the proportion of their student borrowers who default on their loans. Failure to meet these thresholds could result in the end of student aid to these colleges — not to mention significant media scrutiny. More...

Is there a Canadian market for American online programs?

By Tony Bates. I got a phone call last week from an international consultancy company contracted on behalf of a major U.S. state university, wanting to know if I thought there was a Canadian market for U.S. online degrees. Since I didn’t get paid for my advice, I’m willing to share it with anyone who’s interested. (I do find it annoying that universities will pay large sums to general business consultants such as Price Waterhouse, KPMG, Accenture, etc., who then expect professionals in the field to do their work for them for free.)

The Single Best Method for Boosting Retention Rates

By Cathy Davidson. Yesterday when I was at LaGuardia Community College I was asked about methods for boosting retention. Students from stressed environments, who work full time, sometimes at one or two jobs, who have family and other obligations, have many things competing for their time and attention and money. Retention rates in such circumstances are low, graduation rates are too. Boosting both is a challenge. More...

The Eighty-Five Percent: Or, Why CUNY is New York's Best Kept Secret

By Cathy Davidson. On July 1, I left my friends, family, students, and neighbors at Duke University, where I had enjoyed as rich and fulfilling a career for over two decades as any academic could aspire to, to take up a new position among the distinguished faculty at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. To people who haven’t been paying attention, this choice may seem eccentric. Why leave two (!) distinguished chairs at a top, private university to join the nation’s largest public urban university at this historical moment, when so much public education is under duress? To people who keep track of these things, however, the Graduate Center is “trending.” Not only does it have as distinguished a faculty as the city's fine, elite, private research universities, but, in the last few years, several of us have moved here to the GC from elite institutions—Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, Penn, Princeton, to name only the ones I happen to know about.
