Discussion 6: Review of Four Indiana State Policies
In Chapter 9, St. John, Daun-Barnett, and Moronski-Chapman (2013) discuss four state policies in Indiana, which ensure low-income students have better chances of getting higher education opportunities. These state policies are the 21st Century Scholars (TFCS) program, Core 40, Indiana Project on Academic Success (IPAS), and the DREAM Act Bill. The State of Indiana and tuition facilitates the financing of these policies. Specifically, funding is attained through need-based student aid and public tuition charges. This coordination ensures that neither the parents nor the state is overwhelmed with funding the learners. Higher education institutions play a limited role in supporting these four state policies. These policies rely on financial incentives for students, colleges, and schools. Higher education systems play a tiny part in offering support services to students in this regard. Nevertheless, they have tried to implement retention projects through policies such as IPAS.
Regarding the outcome of these policies, for starters, they have improved academic preparation among students in high school. These students are better prepared to succeed in higher learning institutions. However, despite the academic preparation facilitated by the policies, there have been no notable improvements in high school graduation rates among the different racial/ethnic groups. Nevertheless, the SAT scores in Indiana have been considerably better compared to other states in the country (St. John, Daun-Barnett, & Moronski-Chapman, 2013). Also, degree completion, college access, and diversity have been remarkably good in Indiana due to these policies. Out of the four policies, the one that I feel has had the greatest success in eradicating inequalities, supporting students’ progress, and enhancing learners’ access to higher education is the TFCS program. This program not only funds needy students but also prepares them from an early age to be model citizens who do not engage in vices such as drug abuse. It guides both parents and students to take practices that will facilitate good learning outcomes.

Hello all,
In higher education financing a student’s tuition is a critical part of enrollment and admissions. The principal component of the funding for state colleges and universities comes from the state government, and ultimately tax dollars. Federal money is available through loans and grants to students, but the schools are primarily depending on state support. Our textbook presented four different higher education plans from California, Indiana, M.

Module Overview:
Liberal and Market Models of Higher Education Policy
Module Five focuses on two states, California and Minnesota, as the complexities of higher education policy are examined and the variety of political, social, economic, and environmental factors contributing to the ways in which policies are developed are discussed. These policies, in turn, deeply impact the higher education systems within both states, with a particularly strong influence on funding models for colleges and universities.
Higher Education Policy in California
The California Master Plan for Higher Education guided the development of three campus systems in California: the University of California (UC), California State University (CSU), and California Community Colleges systems (St. John, Daun-Barnett, & Moronski-Chapman, 2013). Nearly four out of five college students in California attend one of the three public education systems and three out of every four bachelor degrees awarded annually are from either the UC or CSU systems (Johnson, 2014). Yet, the state is facing somewhat of an education crisis and Johnson projects a shortfall of one million college graduates by 2025.
In recent years, the historic California model has broken down as the systems have been negatively impacted by the state’s fiscal woes. While colleges and universities have responded to funding cuts by reducing expenses, including cutting administrative costs and hiring more non-tenure track faculty, declines in state support have forced the UC system to increase tuition fees by 50% in three years while CSU fees have increase by 47% in the same period (Johnson, Cook, Murphy, and Weston, 2014). Students are increasingly becoming indebted in order to accomplish their educational goals in California; the average loan amounts among students have risen 36% between 2005 and 2010 (a figure adjusted for inflation) (Johnson, 2014). Hoping to save expenses, many students begin their college educations at California community colleges, which have become so overcrowded that in 2012, 137,000 students could not enroll into at least one class that they needed and community colleges resorted to “rationing” courses (Dellner, 2012). This evidence suggests new changes are needed in the California state system to support students at all levels of enrollment.
In part, California’s steady decreases in higher education funding are a consequence of a need to fund other state services; for example, Johnson (2012) notes that from 2002 to 2012, state expenditures for higher education fell by close to 10% whereas expenditures for corrections and rehabilitation increased by 26%. Historical trends suggest that the state’s priorities began shifting from higher education toward corrections since the 1970s, even though the majority of Californians (68%) opposed spending cuts in higher education to reduce state budget deficits and 62% supported spending cuts in corrections to balance state budgets (Baldassare, Bonner, Pet.

This was a really interesting class and writing policy much more complicated than I had ever dreamed. With each assignment, we learned that every move and the intended outcome had a consequence. Some were good and others not as positive. Below are some of my learning moments. If I am in a position to write a higher education policy, I now know that I’ll need a lot of research, a solid plan, and a committee with representatives from all stakeholders.
1. Higher education is vital to the community and a college policy can affect change in a town or region. A downturn in enrollment, modification in coursework, or an infrastructure upgrade will be felt in the surrounding area.
2. State and Federal funding must be considered in the policy. Crafting policy to benefit the institution must not damage the ability to obtain funding. Monies to the college come from many sources but governmental funding is vital.
3. Staffing and operations must be thought through carefully. If enrollment or courses change it affects the faculty and staff. When faced with the loss of employment or salary changes a policy can become unpopular rapidly.
4. Change must be monitored and measured. The policy may seem successful but there are so many potential hurdles that crop up along the way.
5. The ability to adapt, flex, and make modifications if important to any new plan. Things will not go exactly as planned. Be prepared for some failures, fix them, and move on with the outcomes that do work.
As I look at the greater picture of higher education, I think tuition, access, and retention continue to be issues that need resolution. The high student debt cannot continue. An emphasis on quality college and pathways to higher education access for all has long been our countries goal but we are not accomplishing that currently (Mitchell & Gauner, 2020). The online and distance learning scenario has become even more necessary over this last year. This shift has accelerated the need for and use of virtual platforms. While schools may go back to a more normal pace in the coming months, many things will change and technology will improve in these areas (Fuscaldo, 2019).
I believe change will come but I’m not sure in what form. More government support for higher education seems unlikely soon, and the move towards performance-based funding is underway. While this scheme’s success is not yet known, the political environment makes it very popular. It may drive institutions’ towards changing admissions criteria to be even more selective in hopes of producing better quality results (McLendon & Hearn, 2019). This is the exact opposite direction to the desire for inclusion and diversity, and hopefully, the push for free or cheaper tuition will offset this trend. Federal and state funding in the future should work to make it more accessible to all students. The current methods are allowing tuition to rise too rapidly and not contributing to.

Discussion 3: Higher Education Institution Policy Proposal
According to Farber (2016), enrollment in colleges is continuously declining. This trend can be attributed to various factors such as failure to be accepted to one's school of choice, high tuition, and low diversity, among others. Hence, institutions are seeking ways of increasing students' enrollment rates. In this regard, a faculty in the business school can offer a vital perspective in enacting such changes in an institution since it facilitates direct interaction between administrators and students. There are three major themes, which higher education administrators should address if they want to increase students' access to higher education. First, there is the rise of online degree programs, which offers one with the flexibility to learn from remote locations at convenient times. Second, there is the aspect of diversity, which makes people from various backgrounds feel valued in an institution. Finally, there is the issue of high tuition fees, which locks out students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
A policy that a faculty in a business school can enact to enhance students' access to affordable and high-quality education is to offer high-quality degree programs on online platforms. Currently, there is a limited number of quality degree programs that can be accessed on online platforms. However, an institution that fully adopts online programs can cover all the three themes identified above. Online applications will ensure that there is no limit to the number of students that can enroll in an institution since there are no considerable infrastructure demands to host the learners. Such a policy will ensure that a student can enroll in an institution of his/her choice at considerably low tuition rates. More so, such a system will increase diversity in a learning institution. For lessons that require practicals, the institution can liaise with local partners so that there is a schedule on when a batch of students goes for practicals. A faculty in a business school is best placed to consider the logistics of student learning in such a setup.

Higher Education Policies
In the United States Primarily, the responsibility of education is vested upon individual states. This, however, does not exonerate the federal government from the education sector. The national government plays a supporting role in providing finances as well as funds and assistance in a bid to provide a lifeline whenever states are overwhelmed by the burden of overseeing the education within their jurisdictions. The funds from the feral government come in handy in helping millions of Americans, some of whom financial circumstances have impeded them from seeking education and particularly higher education. It is also judicious to note that the federal government does not only offer monetary support but also other forms of support in ways that will be discussed below.
Environment necessary for the excelling of education is also a burden of the federal government. A common myth is that the environment suitable for study which entails security, classrooms, sanitation and tranquility away from noisy environs of industries and busy towns, is only a necessity of the primary and secondary levels. However, it has since been discovered that the same environment is also needed by the tertiary level. The federal governments after providing these basic needs necessary for the thriving of the education sector in states, the states are then mandated to ensure the growth of the sector (In Inoue, 2019). Deductively, the states play a major role in determining the type of educational prospects it is going to provide for its residents.
The past centuries have experienced investment in the education sector by both the federal government and the state government and notably, the investment spread over the past fifty years is immense (Heller, 2016). These investments can be attributed to the opinion bored by the relevant stakeholders of the service to the public interest that these investments will give. The opinion further digresses from the profit-making point of an investment concept to reveal that the investments will be a stepping stone for the residents whose ambitions and desires have been just aspirations. It is at this juncture that we realize that the investments are in the form of policies. A perfect exemplar of such a policy is the enactment of the Higher Education Amendment Act of 1972 (Rose, 2018). This Act achieved the feat of assuring the public that financial incapability will not be an impediment anymore to those that sought education past high school.
In respect to policies, it is important to realize that there are no two states that are alike in their conception, designing and implementation of their policies. Each state has a unique way that they go about their public policy. This is because, unlike other public policies that target infrastructures development an.

Evolving Needs of Community College Students
Historical Background
Community colleges were initially not distinctly identified on their own. Until the Clinton reforms of community colleges in the 1980s, community colleges were no different from junior colleges. The programs and organizational culture were not as developed, and the student needs were rarely attended to in the diverse way that they are today (Gavazzi et al., 2018). Students were assumed to be homogenous, with either a low economic background or substantially flat academic prowess. After the recognition and reinstatement as accredited institutions of merit, community college missions changed and became more student-centered.
The core programs were initially only vocational and for transfer to university purposes. Developmental education was not adequately developed, yet it contributed in a massive way to student retention and the student's ability to finish the program and progress to higher education. Community colleges have been very rigid in their approach to learning, governance, and even administration (Beach, 2011). Most of the changes that occur do not affect the entire institution but are marginalized to transform only a select few. These changes either influence a certain courses based on profitability or the trends in the business world, but rarely extend to other programs within the colleges.
Fiscal policies in community colleges are primarily dependent on the federal government because community college facilities are supposed to encourage the most economically disadvantaged. Tuition is very low compared to the capacity building needed to run the institutions, and the result is that the community colleges suffer from an ultimate shortage in the facility and consolidated programs that undermine the skill sets offered to the students (O'Banion, 2019). Traditionally this has been crippling the system’s ability to change the approach in which the curriculum, administration and governance is run.It creates a shortage of staff for capacity building purposes and an overall decline in the quality of education offered within the institution.
Current issues
Current issues relating to students' evolving needs include student performances that have been diverse depending on factors such as program choice. Programs in health sciences, for instance, have seen a very consistent high-performance culture that has been aided by the level of competency that the students in the courses (Fugle & Falk, 2015). About 98 percent of the students in classes such as a physician assistant, physical and occupational therapy, radiologic technicians, and nursing assistance have seen a very high return on investment in terms of their absorption into the workforce or their progression into b.

Identify at least 3reasons that states might defend the intrinsic legitimacy of the UN as a governing authority. In reverse, identify at least 3reasons that states might criticize its legitimacy and authority.
In short, make an argument for the limits and possibilities of the UN as a legitimate governing authority in a world of sovereign states.
What is the relationship of the UN to the current international system of states?
Considering the reasons for the creation of the UN after WWII, does it seem driven by political necessity or the political utility? In plainer English, do states need the UN more than the UN needs the states? Or do states both large and small find the UN a useful tool for improving their relative power and legitimacy vis-à-vis other states and global institutions? Is there some position in-between?

Higher Education Policies
In the United States Primarily, the responsibility of education is vested upon individual states. This, however, does not exonerate the federal government from the education sector. The national government plays a supporting role in providing finances as well as funds and assistance in a bid to provide a lifeline whenever states are overwhelmed by the burden of overseeing the education within their jurisdictions. The funds from the feral government come in handy in helping millions of Americans, some of whom financial circumstances have impeded them from seeking education and particularly higher education. It is also judicious to note that the federal government does not only offer monetary support but also other forms of support in ways that will be discussed below.
Environment necessary for the excelling of education is also a burden of the federal government. A common myth is that the environment suitable for study which entails security, classrooms, sanitation and tranquility away from noisy environs of industries and busy towns, is only a necessity of the primary and secondary levels. However, it has since been discovered that the same environment is also needed by the tertiary level. The federal governments after providing these basic needs necessary for the thriving of the education sector in states, the states are then mandated to ensure the growth of the sector (In Inoue, 2019). Deductively, the states play a major role in determining the type of educational prospects it is going to provide for its residents.
The past centuries have experienced investment in the education sector by both the federal government and the state government and notably, the investment spread over the past fifty years is immense (Heller, 2016). These investments can be attributed to the opinion bored by the relevant stakeholders of the service to the public interest that these investments will give. The opinion further digresses from the profit-making point of an investment concept to reveal that the investments will be a stepping stone for the residents whose ambitions and desires have been just aspirations. It is at this juncture that we realize that the investments are in the form of policies. A perfect exemplar of such a policy is the enactment of the Higher Education Amendment Act of 1972 (Rose, 2018). This Act achieved the feat of assuring the public that financial incapability will not be an impediment anymore to those that sought education past high school.
In respect to policies, it is important to realize that there are no two states that are alike in their conception, designing and implementation of their policies. Each state has a unique way that they go about their public policy. This is because, unlike other public policies that target infrastructures development an.
We Must Have Even Higher Expectations For Teachersnoblex1
Setting high standards for student learning is important, but if we are to attain true excellence in our schools, we must have even higher expectations for teachers. Traditional preparation and certification programs are failing to provide sufficient quality and are deterring many talented candidates from entering the classroom.

Evolving Needs of Community College Students
Historical Background
Community colleges were initially not distinctly identified on their own. Until the Clinton reforms of community colleges in the 1980s, community colleges were no different from junior colleges. The programs and organizational culture were not as developed, and the student needs were rarely attended to in the diverse way that they are today (Gavazzi et al., 2018). Students were assumed to be homogenous, with either a low economic background or substantially flat academic prowess. After the recognition and reinstatement as accredited institutions of merit, community college missions changed and became more student-centered.
The core programs were initially only vocational and for transfer to university purposes. Developmental education was not adequately developed, yet it contributed in a massive way to student retention and the student's ability to finish the program and progress to higher education. Community colleges have been very rigid in their approach to learning, governance, and even administration (Beach, 2011). Most of the changes that occur do not affect the entire institution but are marginalized to transform only a select few. These changes either influence a certain courses based on profitability or the trends in the business world, but rarely extend to other programs within the colleges.
Fiscal policies in community colleges are primarily dependent on the federal government because community college facilities are supposed to encourage the most economically disadvantaged. Tuition is very low compared to the capacity building needed to run the institutions, and the result is that the community colleges suffer from an ultimate shortage in the facility and consolidated programs that undermine the skill sets offered to the students (O'Banion, 2019). Traditionally this has been crippling the system’s ability to change the approach in which the curriculum, administration and governance is run.It creates a shortage of staff for capacity building purposes and an overall decline in the quality of education offered within the institution.
Current issues
Current issues relating to students' evolving needs include student performances that have been diverse depending on factors such as program choice. Programs in health sciences, for instance, have seen a very consistent high-performance culture that has been aided by the level of competency that the students in the courses (Fugle & Falk, 2015). About 98 percent of the students in classes such as a physician assistant, physical and occupational therapy, radiologic technicians, and nursing assistance have seen a very high return on investment in terms of their absorption into the workforce or their progression into b.

The UN— “A More Perfect Union?”
Considering the readings, video presentations, and your own research, draft a quality 6–7-page research paper on the role, legitimacy, and authority of the UN according to the following prompts, answering in a separate or integrated manner as you wish.
Identify at least 3reasons that states might defend the intrinsic legitimacy of the UN as a governing authority. In reverse, identify at least 3reasons that states might criticize its legitimacy and authority.
In short, make an argument for the limits and possibilities of the UN as a legitimate governing authority in a world of sovereign states.
What is the relationship of the UN to the current international system of states?
Considering the reasons for the creation of the UN after WWII, does it seem driven by political necessity or the political utility? In plainer English, do states need the UN more than the UN needs the states? Or do states both large and small find the UN a useful tool for improving their relative power and legitimacy vis-à-vis other states and global institutions? Is there some position in-between?
Using other sources and extra-Scholar sources (The commentaries, teachings, other writings, etc.) to inform your own reasoning, comment on the compatibility with the idea of

Attention
: The Instructor does not view the question as rhetorical, nor the answer self-evident. So, reason carefully.] For example, if the logic of collective action under the
Articles of Confederation
—the logic of state sovereignty—failed to secure American liberties as well as the ‘more perfect union’, the new Constitution established by the Framers in 1787 to replace it, effectively requiring states to cede sovereignty to a larger collective authority, why would the same logic of collective action not justify the UN as a ‘more perfect union’ to replace an anarchic system of sovereign states putting the world at risk in a nuclear age?

Managers do not have the luxury of abdicating participation in information
systems decisions. Managers who choose to do so risk limiting their future business
options. Information systems are at the heart of virtually every business interaction,
process, and decision, especially when one considers the vast penetration of the
Web in the last few years. Managers who let someone else make decisions about
their information systems are letting someone else make decisions about the
very foundation of their business. This is a textbook about managing and using
information, written for current and future managers as a way of introducing the
broader implications of the impact of information systems.
The goal of this book is to assist managers in becoming knowledgeable par-
ticipants in information systems decisions. Becoming a knowledgeable participant
means lear.

5 Establishing Organizational Objectives
iStock/Thinkstock
Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what’s a heaven for?
—Robert Browning
Learning Objectives
After reading this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
• Describe the nature of objectives and the important role of—and management by—objectives in an HCO.
• Discuss the characteristics of good objectives.
• Delineate the types of objectives that are included in a strategic plan, and include examples of objectives for
key result areas.
• Provide an example of how to use data from an internal and external environmental analysis to set good
objectives.
• Explain how to perform a periodic review of objectives for measuring progress and making updates
as needed.
Section 5.1The Nature and Role of Objectives
Introduction
An HCO cannot achieve goals if none exist for the organization. Although this idea is quite
simple, many people overlook it. To accomplish anything, an organization must have a clear
understanding of what is to be accomplished. Strategic objectives are the tool by which
organizations define their goals and sketch out a specific road map for achieving them. If we
fail to set specific objectives, we simply waste our time and energy by going in circles. Later,
we look back at what we accomplished and wonder where the time went. Just being busy and
involved in activities does not mean that we are accomplishing what we need to accomplish.
This chapter focuses on the need to establish objectives, the characteristics of good objec-
tives, and the process of writing objectives. After the vision and mission of the HCO have been
defined, and the internal and external analyses completed, relevant objectives are developed
for the strategic plan.
5.1 The Nature and Role of Objectives
Objectives can be defined as clear, concise written statements outlining what is to be accom-
plished in key result areas in a certain time period, in measurable terms. Peter Drucker argues
that “objectives are not fate; they are direction. They are not commands, but they are com-
mitments. They do not determine the future, but they are the means by which the resources
and energies of the operation can be mobilized for the making of the future” (Drucker, 1954,
p. 102).
As noted in Chapter 2, the words key results, goals, and targets often are used synonymously
when talking about short- and long-term objectives. Whatever the label used, the idea is to
focus on a specific set of target activities and outcomes to be accomplished. Think of the anal-
ogy of the archer used in Chapter 2. An HCO administrator wants the whole organization
aimed at a single target, just as an archer wants every arrow aimed at the bull’s-eye. People
get confused and disorganized if they do not know where they are going. In large measure,
the success or failure of an HCO is based on its ability to set goals, as well as on tools with
which to measure progress toward those.

Provide a substantive response to at least two of your peers who presented an example that was not in your response. What did you learn from the examples they presented? Are you now more aware of the challenge of change in health care?
Peer 1.Keneisha
- In health care, the consistency of handling change is constant. Change is an effect of snowball within a healthcare facility. Improvement in one area may or may not impact another establishment area irrespective of the correlations. Eventually, change affects the whole organization.
Electronic health records (EHR) and the Health Insurance Probability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) are two indicators of the healthcare industry. Although many resisted the change within the medical records and implemented EHR, the change made life much easier to navigate through with medical records. The move saved money and didn't have to use as many paper products. EHR made chart access and legibility much faster and easier to navigate through.
Within the change, HIPAA was a little more complex. HIPPA has been introduced to allow an individual to change jobs and not to complicate the coverage of the modified work transaction. HIPAA is meant to protect the protection of patient information and not to be widely distributed. This also included training in patient privacy and security issues for each health care staff members.
Reflecting on these two improvements show that once change is introduced, it can result in substantial change for the better and development of both staff and patients. Both need an open attitude and training, but implement a productive workflow.

- Change is not always easy for anyone, and those in the healthcare field. Though change can be good because it can change or make the healthcare delivery systems better and meet those needs of their area. The healthcare environment continues to change and can be a challenge. With changing trends and concerns within healthcare settings, they can show the stages of life cycles within the organization and survival strategies. When rends change, there are changes that occur in case of patients and administrative support. (Liebler & McConnell, 2017). To ensure the survival of any organization change is essential to have a competitive edge in the healthcare environment. Often, for staff managers must be leaders during this process and try to make these changes go smoothly, because it can be difficult for employees.
Healthcare managers must be able to manage change, even though it may be complicated. Being able to manage change can be difficult but all involved must be able to adapt, and it is the job of the manager to inform employees as well as constituents and help them to understand why the change is a necessity and their roles even though it may be difficult.
The two examples of successful change I have chosen are Change as Opportunity: Y2K and A Study in Proactive Change: Electronic Health Records. The trn of the year 2.

430 Chapter 17 Death and Dying
Case 17-1
When Parents Refuse to Give Up1
Nine-year-old Yusef Camp began experiencing symptoms soon after eating a pickle bought
from a street vendor. He felt dizzy and fell down, he could not use his legs, and he began
to scream. By 10:00 p.m., he was hallucinating and was transported to the DC General
Hospital by ambulance. He went into convulsions. His stomach was pumped, and they
found traces of marijuana and possibly PCP. He soon stopped breathing, and by the next
morning, brain scans showed no activity.
Four months later, Yusef’s condition had not changed. The physicians believed his brain
was not functioning and wanted to pronounce him dead based on brain criteria. Several
difficulties were encountered, however. First, there was some disagreement among the
medical personnel over whether his brain function had ceased completely. Second, at that
time the District of Columbia had no law authorizing death pronouncement based on
brain criteria. It was not clear that physicians could use death as grounds for stopping
treatment. Most important, Ronald Camp, the boy’s father, protested vigorously any sug-
gestion that treatment be stopped. A devout Muslim, he said, “I could walk up and say
unplug him; but for the rest of my life I would be thinking, was I too hasty? Could he have
recovered if I had given it another 6 months or a year? I’m leaving it in Almighty God’s
hand to let it take whatever flow it will.”
The nurses involved in Yusef’s care faced several problems. Maggots were found
growing in Yusef’s lungs and nasal passages. His right foot and ankle became gangre-
nous. He showed no response to noises or painful stimuli. The nurses had the responsi-
bility not only for maintaining the respiratory tract and the gangrenous limb, but also for
providing the intensive nursing care needed to maintain Yusef in debilitated condition
on life support systems. Had the aggressive care been serving any purpose, they would
have been willing to provide it no matter how repulsive the boy’s condition was and in
spite of there being many other patients desperately needing their attention. However,
some of the nurses caring for Yusef were convinced that they were doing no good what-
soever for the boy. They believed they were only consuming enormous amounts of time
and hospital resources in what appeared to be a futile effort. In the process, other
patients were not getting as much care as would certainly be of benefit to them. Could
the nurses or the physicians argue that care should be stopped because he was dead?
Could they overrule the parents’ judgment about the usefulness of the treatment even
if he were not dead? Could they legitimately take into account the welfare of the other
patients and the enormous costs involved when deciding whether to limit their atten-
tion to Yusef?

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Discussion 6: Review of Four Indiana State Policies
In Chapter 9, St. John, Daun-Barnett, and Moronski-Chapman
(2013) discuss four state policies in Indiana, which ensure low-
income students have better chances of getting higher education
opportunities. These state policies are the 21st Century Scholars
(TFCS) program, Core 40, Indiana Project on Academic Success
(IPAS), and the DREAM Act Bill. The State of Indiana and
tuition facilitates the financing of these policies. Specifically,
funding is attained through need-based student aid and public
tuition charges. This coordination ensures that neither the
parents nor the state is overwhelmed with funding the learners.
Higher education institutions play a limited role in supporting
these four state policies. These policies rely on financial
incentives for students, colleges, and schools. Higher education
systems play a tiny part in offering support services to students
in this regard. Nevertheless, they have tried to implement
retention projects through policies such as IPAS.
Regarding the outcome of these policies, for starters,
they have improved academic preparation among students in
high school. These students are better prepared to succeed in
2. higher learning institutions. However, despite the academic
preparation facilitated by the policies, there have been no
notable improvements in high school graduation rates among the
different racial/ethnic groups. Nevertheless, the SAT scores in
Indiana have been considerably better compared to other states
in the country (St. John, Daun-Barnett, & Moronski-Chapman,
2013). Also, degree completion, college access, and diversity
have been remarkably good in Indiana due to these policies. Out
of the four policies, the one that I feel has had the greatest
success in eradicating inequalities, supporting students’
progress, and enhancing learners’ access to higher education is
the TFCS program. This program not only funds needy students
but also prepares them from an early age to be model citizens
who do not engage in vices such as drug abuse. It guides both
parents and students to take practices that will facilitate good
learning outcomes.

Vera Discussion:
Hello all,
In higher education financing a student’s tuition is a
critical part of enrollment and admissions. The principal
component of the funding for state colleges and universities
comes from the state government, and ultimately tax dollars.
Federal money is available through loans and grants to students,
but the schools are primarily depending on state support. Our
textbook presented four different higher education plans from
California, Indiana, Minnesota, and Michigan. These programs
3. relied on state and federal funding but supplemented their
budget with tuition in varying ways. Although each system
began well and produced good results initially, all are faltering
with recent downturns in the economy and political climate.
California and its’ “Master Plan” developed a three-
tiered system that promised education for all. Minnesota
developed a high tuition system that subsidized “need-based”
students with federal grant money. Indiana’s system of reaching
out to high school students who would pledge to prepare for
college in exchange for scholarships and grants is financed by
the state budget. Michigan has high tuition and lower aid mode
but their state colleges have constitutional autonomy. The
Michigan colleges have adopted performance-based state
funding models over the last couple of decades. Indiana has
managed a hybrid system of need and merit scholarship funded
by the state government. These four states have taken divergent
paths to budgetary issues, but unfortunately, all have struggled
to control tuition and enrollment numbers are declining
All of these legacy systems require updates and have
deficits in access. Arguably the Michigan system is the most
resilient, but also has the worst track record for diversity and
access. California has historically enjoyed good access and
diversity but tuition increase and loss of grant monies have
impeded low-income students from enrolling. Minnesota also
has higher than average tuition, eroding state and federal aid,
and is suffering from poor student outcomes. Of the four
Indiana may have the best and most balanced system. Although
they have also struggled with retention and outcomes, access
and minority enrollment have improved in the last decade.
All of these systems need updates and improvements to
their state higher education systems and funding. Relying on tax
dollars is a precarious funding model and each state system
must work to find alternative paths to financial security while
improving diversity, access, and outcomes.
I hope you all are having a good week and I look forward to
4. reading the posts,
Vera

Emily Discussion:
Indiana’s higher education policies have greatly impacted
college preparation, access and funding. All four policies
focused heavily on providing access to students who come from
low-income families. The one that really seemed to have the
greatest influence was the 21st Century Scholar’s program as it
required the students to make a commitment to graduate without
participating in compromising activities; it also allows the
students to choose which institutions they would attend rather
than forcing students to attend only public institutions (St.
John, Daun-Barnett, Moronski-Chapman, 2018, p. 178-182).
Additionally, the requirements for the Core 40 diploma were
also beneficial for preparing students for higher education
curriculum. The preparation from the Core 40 diploma
curriculum allowed for an increase in enrollment; even though
the Core 40 is the default curriculum, parents can opt for their
students to not follow it, which can benefit some students (St.
John, et. al, 2018, p. 184).
The Anti-Dream Act poses several issues for access for
students. The lack of support for undocumented students to
receive aid creates another barrier for access (St. John, et. al,
2018, p. 196-197). Providing fair and equal access to education
is a goal for many institutions, and policies such as the Anti-
5. Dream Act can prohibit well-qualified, ambitious and
knowledgeable students to opportunity to receive an education
and benefit society. This policy demonstrates the conservative
political atmosphere that Indiana has embraced.
Overall, the four policies appear to be funded by the state.
Indiana made the commitment to fund the full four years for
students who pledged and fulfilled the 21st Century Scholar’s
program requirements; while the state was able to maintain
these commitments for a while, they became unsustainable (St.
John, 2018, p. 186-187). In more recent years, Indiana is in
danger of becoming a high tuition/low aid state which is not
congruent with the 21st Century and Core 40 policies that the
state initiated (St. John, et. al, 2018, p. 187). In order to sustain
the funding needed for the policies, the state has turned to
performance-based funding. The percentage has drastically
changed over the past 10 years, but the 5% allocation may
negatively affect graduation and tuition rates (St. John, et. al,
2018, p. 197). Performance based funding can motivate
institutions to try and improve many aspects for enrollment,
tuition and statistics, however, it can negatively impact
institutions that are already performing well.
Indiana has created polices that have increased access to higher
education and improved college preparation. Policies such as
21st Century Scholar’s program and the Core 40 policy have
allowed for students who may be underrepresented or
disadvantaged to receive more access to higher education
institutions. Policies such as performance-based funding have
the potential to positively or negatively impact access to higher
education. If the state funding continues to decrease, access,
graduation rates and competition rates will continue to be
negatively impacted and can lead to detrimental consequences
for students and society.
