I’m 2/2 today on boarding @united flights, only to be required to deboard because the plane is malfunctioning. #fleetfailure #delayday

A few lingering questions about ensuring equitable access and administering evaluator bias training, but any #college #admissions innovation that gives applicants more optionality for showcasing their diverse strengths is a welcome one. #highereducation insidehighered.com/news/admi…

If your business model depends on paying people below-market wages and then depending on them to work beyond their scheduled hours without paying overtime, it might be time to rethink the business model. #highereducation #goodwork #compensation insidehighered.com/news/gove…

If we want U.S. #college #tuition to cost what it does in other highly educated nations -- & thus reduce inequities in U.S. college wealth premiums -- we might start by restoring the level of federal/state funding seen in other countries. #highereducation nytimes.com/2023/09/05/magaz…

This debate comes at the exact moment when #college #admissions #essays are poised to play a larger role in efforts to enroll racially diverse classes. Bless all those this fall who have to write them, and to read them. #highered nytimes.com/2023/09/01/busin…

My work recruiting high-potential early career professionals has given me immense faith in our newest entrants to the #laborforce, but there’s no denying that the lingering effects of the pandemic are evident. #goodwork #futureofwork wsj.com/articles/lost-learni…

This is the perils of a 2-party system, cunning #political strategy, fallibility of human heuristics, & info echo chambers all rolled into one, but I still believe in a rising group of #leaders who promote constructive #debate over polarizing division. wsj.com/politics/why-tribali…

#Goodwork is an important part — one of many— of a life well lived. wsj.com/articles/workers-to-…

Good #leadership insights: some failures are experiments, other failures are mistakes. "A #failure, even an intelligent failure, in new territory, new discovery, is no longer intelligent the second time it happens." hbr.org/2023/07/its-ok-to-fa…

This lands on me as pretty remarkable - the executive branch providing an entire sector with direct guidance on how best to navigate a thorny ruling by the legislative branch. #highereducation #admissions #affirmativeaction wsj.com/articles/colleges-ca…

Overturning #affirmativeaction was never going to make the #highereducation #admissions process LESS subjective. chronicle.com/article/a-new-…

Bravo, @SarahLawrence. #highereducation #admissions #affirmativeaction insidehighered.com/news/admi…

When there is a will, there is a way. "School officials say they remain committed to enrolling a diverse class of students, even if the tools they can use have changed." #highereducation #admissions #affirmativeaction wsj.com/articles/how-college…

Transparency... if you're using #artificialintelligence #AI to make human selection decisions, be transparent to those humans about how you use it, and encourage them to decide if they want to apply to you or apply elsewhere. #highereducation #admissions highereddive.com/news/ai-adm…

Translation: people are frustrated with a path they often see as the only option - and this is unlikely to change until the job market increasingly rewards credentials beyond a college degree. hechingerreport.org/proof-po…

Another sobering account of how privilege impacts every component of #highereducation #admissions, and how (absent more systemic change) colleges will need to use different tools to address it. #affirmativeaction hechingerreport.org/opinion-…

We would telling a different story if we compensated teachers better. #k12education #teacherspay #compensation cbsnews.com/news/education-m…
