Whenever I check out a library book that has been underlined or annotated, I think about the two anonymous students who aggressively marked up Widener Library’s copy of Rollo May’s Man’s Search for Himself : I hope these two students did in fact meet at some point, although they may have been separated by decades. It would make for a good short story or film (or U2 song).

I bet you've heard about the enrollment crisis in American colleges and universities, and I bet you think that men are avoiding college in droves, even if you work at a college and see lots of men on campus. And you wonder, "How can this be?" Well, it's not exactly the crisis the media are making it out to be. Here are some views to help you see that.

The failure of University of Phoenix (UoPX) is more than a dark moment in higher education history. It should act as a lesson learned in the higher ed business. Executives at 2U , Guild Education , Coursera , Liberty University and Purdue University Global , Chegg , Academic Partnerships , Pearson PLC , Navient , Maximus and other for-profit and non-profit entities must take heed of the mistakes and the hubris of Phoenix, the wisdom of its cofounder John D.

As thousands of Lorain County Community College and University Partnership students begin classes today, I welcome them to our LCCC family. Our students continue to look forward, building a brighter future for themselves and our community.

If you're alive today, you have lived your whole life with college rankings. Yes, even you. You may not have knows you were living in the time of college rankings, but indeed, you have been, unless you were born before 1911 (or maybe earlier.) If you're interested, you can read this Twitter thread from 2020 where I discuss them and include snippets of those 1911 rankings as well as those from 1957, written by Chesley Manly.

by: Sheena A. Kauppila, and Leanne Davis. No one starts on the path to a degree intending not to finish. But between taking one’s first college class and earning a degree, life can change course, and it often does. For a wide array of reasons, students stop out from their higher education path each semester, and many never return. In 2020, the onset of a global pandemic changed the course of lives around the world and today nearly one in five working-age adults in the United States has “some col

I started doing this post on a regular basis several years ago, in response (if I recall) to a colleague talking about their Board of Trustees Chair insisting that "all we need to do" to bring enrollment back to its former level is to get the yield rate up. That's the equivalent of saying all you need to do is straighten your drives and cut ten putts from each round, and you'll be a great golfer.

?. For better or worse, decentralized marketing teams are a reality for many schools. And while this model solves a number of important problems, it leaves many leaders wishing for greater economies of scale and alignment across teams. In this episode, we look at the University of Texas at San Antonio and how operational changes they made during COVID permanently transformed the way their marketing team works.

The 4P’s stand for: Product Place Price Promotion. However, when developing admissions marketing plans for international students, I always keep in mind the 4P’s, plus one R, and the word “courtship”.
