    146. Quo Vadis? Looking Back, And Ahead

    I spent a long time on the inside of the higher education ecosystem, beginning in the last century. But the environment today is quite different from when I first enlisted.  The role and import of the higher ed sector in society is undeniably in flux. The drivers of the education process have been increasingly external, and less academic, in nature. The view from the inside is very different now. In this episode I’ll discuss what has changed, what those changes portend, and what the view looks like today. Higher Education is at a tipping point.  I’ll stand on that point and look back and ahead. EdUp Insights with Bill Pepicello is part of the EdUp Experience Podcast network

    145.  What’s The Problem?

    Higher education has been dealing with a swarm of predicaments this year that has diverted it from its core mission to serve students. So what’s the problem here?  Is it DEI, or cultural postures, or a clash of political ideologies?  Or is it maybe the inability of higher education leadership to manage these issues while struggling with an outdated business model that is out of step with rest of the American economy? I don’t think any of these quandaries are the problem, and in this episode I’ll tell you why they are only symptoms of the larger problem.  And what could that be?

    144. Breaking News. Or Not.  

    One of the latest updates on the state of online education gave me a serious case of déjà vu. Once again, we have been brought up to date on who online students are and what we need to know in order to serve them. And once again, the only thing that has changed is the date on the report. In this episode I’ll review all the latest old news and astound listeners with higher education’s ability to repackage what we already know in new accoutrements.

    143. Higher Ed As A Team Sport

    In the last exciting episode, I opined that higher education is not a spectator sport.  In America, it’s also not a team sport. Ben Franklin is credited with saying, “We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.” In this episode I’ll consider how this admonition to American revolutionaries applies to higher education today.  There are multiple political, cultural and financial pressures facing all of higher ed, yet we often see institutions struggling with these individually, rather than leveraging the considerable talent and resources of higher education as an integrated sector to present a united front to pursue resolution to the benefit of all.

    142.  Where Is The Future?  

    There is a lot of speculation about the future of higher education. In this episode I’ll suggest where we might look for the future. And it’s not inside the higher ed ecosystem. Perhaps the most impactful transformation of higher education to date came with the online revolution. But this disruption was not the result of a natural evolution of the traditional model. It came from higher education adopting technological advances that were driving change in the American economy. Following the development of virtual higher education, I’ll assess higher ed’s current interface with AI and what it portends for the future. Importantly, higher ed will need either to watch things happen or make them happen. EdUp Insights with Bill Pepicello is part of the EdUp Experience Podcast network.

    141. The Higher Education Cassandra

    In Greek mythology Cassandra was a Trojan princess who was bestowed the gift of prophecy by Apollo.  But after the two had a falling out, Apollo punished her with the curse that her prophecies would not be believed. In this episode I’ll look at several visionary innovations in higher education that were ignored, resisted and reviled for decades but eventually became widespread throughout the higher ed ecosystem.  EdUp Insights with Bill Pepicello is part of the EdUp Experience Podcast network.

    140. Sink or Swim

    Higher education has intentionally plunged into the choppy cultural waters that currently engulf American society and finds that it can’t swim.  Traditional funding mechanisms are becoming uncertain as social and political swells are creating a relentless undertow that higher ed must avoid.  Calls for curricular and infrastructure reforms have institutions scrambling to stay afloat or, in some cases, attempting to struggle against the currents of what increasingly appears to be an inevitable and imminent new era.  In this episode I’ll look for potential life preservers that might help keep higher ed buoyant as it looks for a way to survive rough seas.

    139. The Degree Is What You Make It

    Research finds that associate and bachelor’s degree holders have similar growth in earnings right after graduation, but that the differences widen over time.  Accordingly, it has been posited that the longer out you look at growth in earnings, the better the impact of a degree can be determined. Raw numbers would appear to support the premise that the higher the degree, the greater the growth in earnings over time. But is this correlation or causation? That is, are there other factors, academic or otherwise, that affect longitudinal growth in earnings?  In fact, is it possible that the longer out you look at the earnings, the less a specific degree might be an impacting factor?  Tune in and check it out.
