This document discusses 5 worrying trends in higher education: 1) The jobless recovery is affecting families' ability to pay for college. 2) College applications and enrollment are declining after years of growth. 3) Tuition rates and student debt are unsustainable given rising costs and stagnating family incomes. 4) The for-profit college sector faces a potential bubble as enrollment and costs grow rapidly. 5) Families are increasingly unwilling to pay high tuition solely for the credential and want measurable learning and job placement outcomes from their investment in college.

Despite growing minority enrollment in higher education, there remain two separate postsecondary pathways for whites and minorities. Whites are overrepresented at elite colleges while minorities attend open-access colleges in larger numbers. Elite colleges have greater resources which lead to higher completion rates, advanced degree attainment, and future earnings compared to open-access colleges. As a result, the current educational system reinforces racial inequality and low social mobility in the United States.

COVID-19 had immediate and long-term financial impacts on universities. In the immediate term, it reduced revenue from programs, auxiliaries, and state allocations in FY2020. It also increased some expenditures. In the long term, it adds uncertainty to revenue projections for FY2021 from tuition, state appropriations, gifts, and endowments. Universities must prepare budgets conservatively and may need to cut expenditures, posing difficult questions about priorities and resource allocation. After the pandemic passes, universities will need to restore operations and reserve funds over several years.Credit Flexibility - An Overview for Gifted Educators

The document discusses key elements for successful online programs. It notes that in 2017, 81% of distance learning students were undergraduate and around 30% of all students took at least one online course. It also lists the top institutions for online enrollment in 2019. Several state universities have found success with online programs while others have struggled. The document outlines important considerations like marketing, learner support services, faculty support, data analytics, financial models, partnerships, and regulatory requirements.
Is the return to education the same for everyone
This document discusses whether the return on investment of a college education is the same for everyone. It notes that while on average college graduates earn 64% more than those with just a high school diploma, the financial benefits vary significantly based on the field of study. STEM degrees tend to be most lucrative, earning about $1.5 million more over a lifetime compared to $700,000 for humanities degrees. Other factors like the selectivity of the university also impact earnings potential. The document concludes that not all degrees provide equal returns and governments could use student loan policies to incentivize fields that have high social value but low financial returns.

Household Debt and Credit: Student Debt
Overview:
- Higher education is crucial to improving the skill level of American workers, especially in the face of a rising income and employment gap across workers with varying education levels.
- Due to increasing enrollment and the rising cost of higher education, student loans play an increasingly important role in financing higher education.
- However, the rapidly increasing burden of student debt, approaching $1 trillion now, including both federal and private student loans with very different characteristics.
- We present new analysis on the historical and current situation of student debt and discuss its implication on the borrowers and the economy.
Creating Economic Development Through Online Learning
The document discusses how online education can promote economic development by:
1) Providing access to higher education for working professionals, which creates a more educated workforce that attracts higher-paying jobs.
2) Allowing universities to "geotarget" online programs to areas with workforce needs.
3) Exporting U.S. education globally through massive open online courses (MOOCs) and other online programs.
4) Aligning online programs with in-demand industry skills to strengthen the link between education and the labor market.

Solving the TEF Through Student Centricity
The document discusses strategies for improving student retention and success through a student-centric approach. It argues that universities should orient resources, people and processes around the potential impact on students. This means nurturing a sense of belonging, making it easy for students to connect with support systems, and identifying disengaged students through analytics. Specific tactics proposed include personalized alerts and success networks, integrated appointment booking, and custom reporting to flag at-risk students. Case studies show improvements in retention rates, faculty participation in early alerts, and graduation rates at institutions that adopted these student-centric strategies.

Supporting Student Choice and Opportunity in Higher EducationTennessee Independent Colleges and Universities Association
This document provides an overview of higher education in the United States and Tennessee, with a focus on the Tennessee Independent Colleges and Universities Association (TICUA). It notes that TICUA institutions enroll 24% of students in Tennessee but award 33% of degrees. TICUA schools play an important role in college access, affordability, and completion in the state. They confer over 16,000 degrees annually and have a positive economic impact through spending and employment.Education and student loan bubble
The document discusses the existence of a higher education bubble in the US. It argues that tuition fees have soared by 10 times, with the average student graduating with $50,000 in debt, 40% more than in 2001. This is due to rising demand for loans to pay increasingly expensive tuition. However, just like the housing bubble, loans are being offered to students who cannot afford them. If the $1 trillion higher education bubble were to burst, it could damage the financial system, similarly to how the housing bubble contributed to the 2008 financial crisis.

1. The document provides information about the Afterschoool Centre for Social Entrepreneurship and its PGPSE program, which aims to develop social entrepreneurs and change makers.
2. The 3-year integrated PGPSE program can be pursued along with other exams like IAS or professional courses, and provides flexible specializations in areas like rural development, education, and social sectors.
3. The program has case study-based learning, industry exposure, and options for part-time work or distance learning. It aims to provide world-class entrepreneurship training while being absolutely free.
Sub 2004 Financectteebrief
The document is a submission from the Canadian Federation of Students to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance regarding financial barriers to access in post-secondary education. It argues that rising student debt levels, which average over $25,000, are a primary factor limiting access for students from low-income families. It presents data showing that those from low-income families are both less likely to attend post-secondary and more likely to take on higher debt levels. It recommends increasing the value of needs-based grants while eliminating savings programs like Registered Education Savings Plans that primarily benefit higher-income families.
Thinking about systems thinking
The document discusses different perspectives on systems thinking from thinkers like Kuhn, Popper, and Checkland. It contrasts Kuhn's view that science progresses through revolutionary paradigm shifts with Popper's view that pluralism and challenging hypotheses drives progress. The document also summarizes Jackson's classification of systems methodologies along dimensions of intentionality and stakeholder alignment. It advocates for a critical systems approach that selects methods based on the problem context.

The document discusses the rising costs of higher education in the United States. It notes that tuition has increased by more than 60% in six states and more than 20% in 29 states since 2008. It then discusses several reasons for increasing tuition, including growing demand for degrees due to their impact on earnings, costs of new technology and facilities, higher salaries for top faculty, and decreased state funding. Finally, it proposes some solutions to control costs, such as online courses, dual enrollment programs, three-year degree programs, renting textbooks, and earning income while in school.

This document provides a summary of a report on a survey of 1,500 online students conducted in 2012. Some of the key findings include: most students pursue online education for career-related reasons; about three-quarters study for a degree with business being the most popular field; and while for-profits make up one-third of online enrollments, non-profits dominate with two-thirds of students. The report provides detailed findings on students' motivations, programs of study, preferences and choices regarding online education providers and formats.

The new normal distance learning and new education options
This document discusses the changing landscape of higher education and the rise of distance learning options. It notes that over 6.7 million students took an online course in 2012, representing about a third of all postsecondary students. Distance learning is becoming more embedded in traditional programs and available as a standalone option. The document discusses how for-profit schools were early adopters of online education and helped drive demand. It also outlines different online and hybrid models that are available today and profiles Penn Foster as an example of an online career focused institution. The document argues that students' options should be framed more broadly than just traditional four-year colleges given the growth of alternatives like community colleges, vocational programs, certificates and apprenticeships.

This document summarizes Brian Butler's presentation on challenges and opportunities in higher education and edtech. Butler has over 10 years of experience in international education and has founded companies like CourseChunks and Summit Global Education. The presentation discusses issues like rising costs and student debt burden in US higher education. It also notes opportunities to innovate through new models and technologies that can address skills gaps. Potential areas discussed include lifelong learning platforms, virtual/augmented reality tools, and focusing more resources on vocational training alternatives to traditional 4-year degrees. The document provides an overview of recent edtech investing trends and the large potential market size. It encourages attendees to think ambitiously about problems in higher education and how new businesses could create meaningful impact
Millennials and College Planning
Millennials face significant financial hurdles in pursuing higher education. Only 19% of students attend their top choice school due to cost, and most students (57%) did not attend their first choice last year. Financial aid is a major factor for 60% of students, and many cannot afford their top picks without assistance. Significant student loan debt burdens many graduates, with over 30% paying more than $300 per month. While a bachelor's degree on average leads to $17,500 more in annual earnings, rising costs mean students must carefully consider their options such as community colleges. A degree remains important for employment but real-world experience through internships provides valuable skills.
Why is the college discovery process so broken? Our solution (1st pitch)
Education is at the core of who we are. Our closest friends and our future career path by enlarge depend on where we go to college, right? If the stakes are so high why should the burden of search be on high school students? With so much white noise how can teenagers find out what school matches their potential? Today students are making arguably the most important decision in their life based on US New rankings and perceptions of friends and family, leading to stress for students today and wasted potential down the line.
There has to be a better way. We want to change the way high school students interact with universities by enabling colleges to reach out directly to students based on their achievements, interests, and preferences

College Students
The document discusses trends among the US college student population. It finds that while over 60% of college students are under 24, many older students also attend college part-time while working or having families. Most students live at home, off-campus, or in dorms. Foreign student enrollment adds $20 billion to the economy annually. College students spend over $300 billion per year, with increasing expenditures on entertainment and technology. Non-traditional students face additional stressors from work and family responsibilities. High-risk drinking and social media/device usage are also common among college populations.
NACU.naperville
The document discusses trends in online learning in higher education. It notes that 29% of college students took an online course in Fall 2009 and that enrollment in online courses is expected to reach 3.9 million students by 2014. It also discusses the rise of for-profit colleges, noting that they have grown 95% over 30 years and now enroll 1.4 million students. However, for-profit colleges often have low graduation rates and high student debt defaults. The document proposes some potential pilot collaboration projects between nonprofit universities to leverage what online learning has to offer.
The Case For Action
The document discusses the need for students to take rigorous high school courses in order to be prepared for college and careers. It finds that most state high school exit exams assess skills at an 8th-9th grade level rather than the level needed for college and careers. As a result, many students require remedial courses in college, and the US lags in college graduation rates compared to other developed countries. Surveys also find that recent high school graduates feel they lacked preparation and would have worked harder if high school had demanded more of them.
Disrupting Independent Study: Online Learning's Promise, Potential, and Pitfalls
The document discusses several key issues regarding online learning:
1) Online course enrollment has grown rapidly in recent years at both the college and K-12 levels and is projected to continue growing substantially.
2) While online learning provides benefits like flexibility and access to courses, studies have found mixed results on student performance and completion rates in online K-12 courses compared to traditional courses.
3) It is important to evaluate the quality and standards of online course content, instructional design, assessments, and technology to ensure they effectively support student learning.

2015-SVT-Postsecondary-Project-Report-full copy
The document discusses three key "tripwires" or barriers that students face in making a successful transition to postsecondary education:
1) The "birthright lottery" - students from low-income families or who are first-generation college students face significant disadvantages and are less likely to graduate college. Their socioeconomic background and lack of familial experience with college impacts their chances of success.
2) "Veiled college costs" - the expenses of preparing for, attending, and completing college pose major barriers for many students. These costs are not fully transparent and can derail students' progress.
3) "College and career unreadiness" - being academically prepared in high school is not enough
Crdbase
This document provides a review of credit-based transition programs that allow high school students to take college courses and earn college credit. It discusses the rationales for using these programs to promote college access and success for a wide range of students, not just traditional high-achieving students. The key rationales discussed are: 1) exposing students earlier to rigorous college-level coursework to better prepare them, 2) providing realistic information about college skills and expectations, and 3) increasing motivation through high expectations. The document then categorizes different types of transition programs and reviews evidence on their effectiveness.
Final Presentation - Workforce and College Preparation
The document discusses three options to improve workforce and college preparation for students in Illinois: 1) Expanding community college and two-year degree programs, 2) Allowing students an extra year of high school, and 3) Keeping the current system. Based on an analysis across factors like cost, feasibility, education quality, and employability, taking an extra year of high school is identified as the best option. It would allow students more time to prepare for college coursework, complete additional classes, mature before college, and receive job training relevant to employers' needs.
McKinsey & Company - Voice of the Graduate
The document summarizes key findings from a survey of over 4,900 recent college graduates. Some of the main findings include:
1) Nearly half of graduates from four-year colleges say they are working in jobs that do not require a four-year degree. Graduates feel overqualified for their jobs.
2) About one-third of graduates do not feel their college education prepared them well for the working world.
3) Half of all graduates have regrets and say they would choose a different major or school if they could do it again.

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.

Hello Everyone,
Student access is an ongoing task that every institution faces. Some of the first things that pop into my mind on this topic include college readiness, cost to access, and support systems. College readiness includes early identification of those who may not be quite ready to perform at the college level and college prep courses for the identified. Access to higher education is impacted by students who get into a higher education institution and are not really ready to perform at the approp ...

This document outlines key challenges facing higher education and proposes conversations to address them. It notes that intergenerational poverty is high while education attainment is decreasing, and billions are spent on students who do not earn credentials. Only 9% of students from the bottom quartile earn degrees compared to 68% from the top quartile. It proposes conversations around academic catch-up programs, innovative learning technologies, learn and earn models, institutional renewal, new college models, credentials with labor market value, and lifelong learning. The goal is to increase higher education access and success.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Editor's Notes
- So how did many pay for this rise in tuition. Mostly loans, and increasingly private loans. Pay particular attention to the for-profits. I’ll get to that later.This graph only shows undergrads and more and more people are going on to graduate and professional schools. The numbers get even more depressing there.
