Higher Ed Data Stories

MAY 7, 2022

Much has been made recently of changes in enrollment in US Higher Ed: Fewer males ( is it a crisis or not? ). Shrinking enrollments. Changes in admissions due to test optional and COVID. In this recent piece in the Chronicle of Higher Education , I recently pointed out that one of the ways colleges stayed viable during previous enrollment shifts was to expand both physical campus locations and offerings and degree programs tailored to working adults.

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).

The latest report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) about wrongdoing by higher education online program managers (OPMs) felt disappointing to social justice advocates who watch the space and know the bad actors who were unnamed in the GAO document. US higher education has always been a racket, but its latest pursuits have gone untouched and even unmentioned.

What immediately comes to mind when I say “change” in higher education? I recently posted this on Twitter, and I wasn’t surprised by the GIF responses. Numerous posts depicted the slow (if not glacial) pace of change within the industry. pic.twitter.com/FPUEo7cR10 — Mallory Bower (@MalloryBower) April 20, 2022 Others made it quite clear that the word and request to change was a no-go.
