Simply having a college degree is not enough to find a job. This is especially true in today’s job market. Having the right competencies, not the right level of education, is the key to marketability and earnings. In other words, it’s not that you study but what you study that makes the difference. From a policy perspective, colleges are rewarded for enrollment and graduation, yet very little if any attention is paid to student placement and earnings. In this session, Michael Bettersworth makes the case why degrees increasingly matter less, that competencies are the real currency, and that student success is about much more than enrollment or graduation rates. It’s also about getting a job.

Over half of all four-year graduates in the class of 2012 were jobless or underemployed. Many returned home with significant student loan debt and limited prospects for repayment. And yet there are over 3.5 million job openings today. Houston, we have a problem, and it’s not that too few people are going or graduating from college. It’s that too many are not finding a job afterwards. Legislators are taking note, and new accountability standards are on the way to higher education. It is time for a serious and honest look at how we define student success beyond the classroom. If you don’t, someone surely will for you, and soon. In this session, participants will take away tools and techniques for addressing the employability gap in higher education through real-time market analysis, high-fidelity curriculum alignment, embedded talent pipelines, earnings and placement metrics, and the front-lines of outcomes funding.
Seventy-percent of 2009 college graduates did not have a job upon graduation and eighty-percent moved back home with their parents. Many returned with significant student loan debt and limited prospects for repayment. And yet there are currently an estimated 3 million job openings in occupations requiring advanced technical skills. In today's economy, it is becoming increasingly clear that it's that you student but what you student that is the key to employability and earnings potential. From a policy perspective, colleges are rewarded for enrollment numbers and there is increasing attention on graduation rates, yet very little if any attention is paid to student placement and earnings. Considering the massive investment required for higher education, aren't these valuable measures as well? In this session, Michael Bettersworth makes the case why degrees increasingly matter less, competencies are the real currency, and student success is about much more than enrollment numbers or graduation rates. It's also about getting a J.O.B.

NITLE Shared Academics: Cultural Factors Shaping "Crisis" Conversation in Hig...NITLE
The current conversations about crisis in education - and the equally contentious debates about how to solve said crises - do not occur in a vacuum: both the problems and the solutions are the product of a dynamic cultural, economic, and political context. How do faculty, staff, and administrators navigate this changing environment in a way that honors the mission of their institutions and the wider values of post-secondary education? Sean Johnson Andrews, assistant professor of cultural studies in the Department of Humanities, History, and Social Sciences at Columbia College Chicago, examined hese issues with members of the NITLE Network on February 4, 2014.

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

used to be an entree to
a job.”

employability all the

either.”

An excellent plumber is infinitely
more admirable than an incompetent
philosopher.
The society which scorns excellence in plumbing
because plumbing is a humble activity and
tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is
an exalted activity will have neither good
plumbing nor good philosophy.
John W. Gardner
President, Carnegie Corporation
Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.
