    This Week In College Viability (TWICV) for December 16, 2024

    I have a big announcement to start off today’s show. After reading, listening and watching the traditional higher education media, I have realized that is not me.  I don’t do cookbook stories on how to fix higher education on the margins.  I don’t engage in trite college stories about ‘awesome’ or ‘excited’ events or personalities. It is time for me to step forward and share that I am your Self-appointed ‘alternative higher education media source’   Giggle if you will.  Roll your eyes if you must.  My operating premise (right or wrong) has been that Higher Education is in the midst of an economic model adjustment that will inevitably result in consolidation – in the form of continuing closures and increased merger activity. I try to be polite.  Some have called me somewhat bombastic.  I can live with that. I do offer ‘sarcasm alerts’  I have interest in engaging in collegial discussions with those who have other thoughts. I have also had too many say: “Gary, keep doing what you are doing”.  To those, I thank you. This podcast and the other media that I do will continue to lovingly poke the current Higher Education bear in a never-ending attempt to do my small part to move the industry past its historical model and toward one that recognizes the Higher Education industry financial needs  fewer colleges Show Notes:Drexel U. lays off 60 staffers due to enrollment drop, ‘flawed’ FAFSA rolloutPortland State to lay off 17 faculty members; union says more layoffs could be comingSF State faculty mourn upcoming layoffs in New Orleans-style funeral marchIntel ruled tech.
