The world of college admission--or at least the discussion of it--is too often focused on freshman admission, and then, too often focused on freshman admission at the highly rejective colleges (h/t to Akil Bello ). People tend to think most students apply to a college at age 17 or 18, spend four years at that one institution, and then graduate. But just like the Kardashians aren't reflective of the typical American family even though they get a lot of press, neither is that little sliver of coll

Examining the Ethical Issues. I have previously blogged about doctored program information submitted by four prominent universities—Rutgers University, Temple University, Claremont McKenna College, and Iona College. The goal was to make their programs look better to university rating outlets such as U.S. News & World Report. Now, along comes a recent disclosure of such practices by the University of Southern California (USC).

Every time a new social platform surfaces, we hear the question “should my campus be on this platform?” While TikTok has been around for a few years, it’s still incredibly popular with your prospective and admitted students. According to Statista , almost half of TikTok’s users are under age 29 and 25% of them are ages 10–19. So how do you know if it’s a platform your campus should be on?

When I first began my work researching and writing about social media, I considered myself an ambitious cheerleader – maybe even a hype woman – for campuses to adopt the latest digital communication tools to better tell their stories and connect with students. In 2012 it was Twitter and Instagram; today it’s TikTok or Discord. But adoption does not equal impact.
