Diverse: Issues in Higher Education

APRIL 19, 2023

Research has repeatedly found that higher education programs in prisons reduce recidivism. And the higher a degree an incarcerated person earns, the less likely they are to re-offend, down to a 0% recidivism rate for those who have earned a master’s, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Now, Colorado, which has the fourth-highest recidivism rate in the United States , has taken one of the boldest steps of any state to incentivize people in prison to get a credential.

Students are the lifeblood of higher education. All of the energy that faculty, staff and administrators devote to their universities is directed toward improving the student experience, student outcomes and lifelong student success. Without students, there would be no universities, no IT departments and no technology decisions to be made. Engaged student bodies bring campuses to life and invigorate classroom discussion, whether that’s done in a lecture hall or through a computer screen.

US higher education enrollment has been declining slowly and consistently since 2011. The declines have been small enough for many people outside of higher education to miss this phenomenon. In 2026 and 2027 we expect a more significant drop: a result of declining fertility rates during the 2008-2009 recession. So where does US higher education enrollment go after 2026?

In response, Hesston College hired an independent research organization, Cozen O’Connor, to review the school’s policies and practices related to “sexual and gender-based harassment and violence” under Title IX and the Clery Act.

Launching a new program can seem like a quick fix for enrollment challenges, but unless an institution weighs it carefully against student demand and the labor market, it may not actually increase enrollment or revenue. By evaluating your institution’s academic portfolio against in-demand career paths, however, college and university leaders can boost enrollment and improve cost efficiency.
