I (Ford) was reading a commentary on the top number of “issues” facing education/ educators and became even more outraged and indignant on terminology used to describe children who live in poverty, Blacks, and other minoritized students. My colleagues and I believe this framing and mislabeling are the real ‘issues’, which we use interchangeably with ‘problems’.

Blog: Higher Ed Gamma Can a research-intensive university also be learning- and learner-centered, as dedicated to the quality of students’ educational experience as it is to scholarship, publication and invention?

At our nation’s colleges and universities, faculty members have become one part caretaker and one part educator. If you are anything like us, more office hours are spent helping students emotionally cope with the world around them than they are advancing learning. Colleagues often will ask how we toe the line between being compassionate with students while maintaining rigor and accountability in their work.

The NCAA Eligibility Center once required students to earn a specific score on either their ACT or SAT to be qualified to compete, that score dependent on how strong their GPA was.

Blog: Confessions of a Community College Dean I heard a student offer an idea on Monday that hit me with the force of the retrospectively obvious. Does your campus have advisers specifically for returning adult students? It would make sense. Returning adults—say, over age 22 or so—may have very different needs than 18-year-olds. For one thing, they’re much likelier to be parents themselves.

When seeking a degree, students should embrace a healthy level of skepticism if they’re looking into a for-profit college. These institutions can easily saddle students who graduate with heaps of debt that don’t match their earning potential—assuming the student graduates in the first place. But many students may be attracted to these schools due to their vocational training programs, higher acceptance rates, and flexible hours.
