Doyle, William R. – Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 2013
Previously in "Change," William Doyle has argued that higher education leaders must face up to what has been called the "new normal": decreased state funding for higher education on a per-student basis and a prediction that funding will not recover to levels seen in the past. In this article, Doyle states that we have now…

College graduates and current students are swimming in a sea of debt. As of this writing, the total amount of outstanding student loan debt has been estimated at $960 billion. The Occupy Student Debt movement, inspired by Occupy Wall Street, has suggested that all student loan debt should be forgiven. As a starting point, members of the movement…

Should remediation in higher education be ended? A recent report from Complete College America says exactly that. The authors call for all public institutions of higher education in the United States to stop offering it and instead ensure that students who need extra help take co-requisite requirements, such as extra tutoring.

Internet search histories reveal much about the collective concerns and interests of the population. Researchers have demonstrated that searches for terms such as "flu symptoms" predict the onset and prevalence of flu in given geographical areas. Can such an analysis be applied fruitfully to data on searches related to higher education issues? One…

Is college worth it? In the midst of an ongoing recovery that has not sparked large-scale job growth, some observers and analysts of higher education have suggested that it may not pay an individual to pursue a college education. There is also ongoing debate about whether the economy needs as many college graduates as currently produced. The…

The most recent recession has been particularly hard on those with just a high-school diploma. The unemployment rate for male high-school graduates in 2009 was 11 percent, while for males with a bachelor's degree or higher the rate was 2.5 percent. One of the long-term solutions to the unsustainably high unemployment rates is for high-school…

Some say that the educators now have a gender-stratified system of higher education, with nearly 60 percent of all undergraduates being women and fewer men attending each year. The battle for gender equity for women in higher education has been a long and contentious one. In the decades since, increasing numbers of women have gone to college, to…

Stateline.org recently called this recession the worst in 50 years for state budgets. As has been the case in past economic downturns, higher education looks to be particularly hard hit. Funds from the American Recovery and Relief Act may have postponed some of the difficulty for many colleges and universities, but the outlook for public higher…

Like the rest of the economy, higher education is suffering the effects of this recession. This article shows year-to-year changes in higher education budgets over the last forty years, a cycle that can be fairly called a roller coaster. In separate work, the authors modeled the shape of this cycle and found that budget analyst Harold Hovey's…

When online distance learning was first proposed as a viable alternative to site-based education, many predicted the demise of traditional colleges and universities. The ability to take courses where and when students wanted would mean, these futurists said, that the traditional bricks-and-mortar classroom would cease to exist, replaced by a…

While most states continue to award large amounts of need-based aid to needy students so that they can go to college, private colleges and universities have not followed suit. The most current National Postsecondary Student Aid Survey shows that in non-doctoral private four-year institutions, those in the highest income brackets (students whose…

This article examines the trend of faculty retirement in the United States. Much of the concern about aging faculty has centered on the twin concerns of lifetime employment in the form of tenure and the lack of a mandatory retirement age. However, as analysis shows, more attention should be paid to what will happen when older faculty…

In Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass," the Red Queen tells Alice: "Now here, you see, it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that." In the first of a series of columns, this author discusses why the Red Queen principle, as…

Currently, 40 percent of all first-time freshmen begin their postsecondary careers in community colleges, the great majority of them intending eventually to complete a bachelor's degree. But along the way something happens, and for most of them that ambition is thwarted. The question is, to what extent does this pattern reflect students' choices,…
