Problematic Infrastructure Factors Affecting Development in the 21st Century ...Premier Publishers
Good infrastructure is linked to economic growth and development, without deny. The study explores five problematic infrastructure factors affecting development in Zimbabwe. The Zimbabwean nation has been struggling to recover from economic crisis, which has bedeviled the economy for quite a long time. The study identified and discussed five problematic infrastructure factors that hinders development. Addressing of the factors will place the country on a better position for recovery using a better recovery pace. The study utilized the Network Theory to support its argument. The identified factors are power cuts and shortages, poor road infrastructure, inefficient rail network within the country, water shortages and poor transport infrastructure for access to ports. The study employed the Relative Importance Index to enable the ranking of identified factors. Policies that target improvement of the identified problems will aid both short term and long-term development of the economy.

How do we measure the economic impact of a better educated and trained U.S. workforce? The McGraw-Hill Research Foundation’s new position paper argues that adult education and career training is potentially one of the most cost-effective tools the U.S. has to recover its economic health in the aftermath of the “Great Recession.”
The paper was written by sector experts Dr. Lennox McLendon, Executive Director, National Council of State Directors of Adult Education and National Adult Education Professional Development Consortium; Debra Jones, California Director of Adult Education and Chair, NAEPDC Research Workgroup, and Mitch Rosin, Editorial Director, McGraw-Hill School Education Group.
In the policy paper, “The Return on Investment (ROI) From Adult Education and Training,” the authors contend that billions of dollars could be earned, saved and pumped back into the struggling economy as a result of investments in effective and efficient workforce development programs.
Module OverviewLiberal and Market Models of Higher Education AlyciaGold776
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 ...

Cloud Computing and Higher Education Financial Crisisijtsrd
With the Financial crisis and being challenged by growing needs, universities face problems providing necessary information technology IT support for educational, research, and development activities. This paper aims to find alternatives to the use of IT while leading universities to improve awareness and funds. The model matured and consisted of a rigorous analysis of the latest research on Cloud Computing as an alternative to IT provision, management, and protection. The results are encouraging and supportive use of Cloud solutions in universities by improving knowledge and providing a practical guide adjustable to the university structure. The proposed model considers the university architecture and criteria such as goal, availability, and importance of applications and the datas mission, understanding, privacy, reliability, and accessibility.

Forging 21st Century Partnerships
with Community Colleges

What happens to youth after they leave high school? Com munity colleges share common
goals with Extension and Outreach through land-grant universities and can partner in
educating diverse citizens to benefit individuals and communities.
W hile Cooperative Extension formally links research and practice through land-grant
institutions and youth-centered programs such
as 4-H, are there missed opportunities for further
developing students and communities through
com m unity colleges? Extension and Outreach
and com m unity colleges, working together, have
the potential to transform communities. How can
com m unity colleges complement the Extension
and Outreach mission?
Population migration poses unique challenges to
Extension and Outreach in traditionally rural and
agricultural states. For example, between 2000
and 2oro, while the population of Iowa increased
by 4.1 percent, rural populations decreased by
5.4 percent, and urban areas experienced a ro.r
increase (Swenson, 2or3). Essentially, residents of
rural areas are migrating to urban areas in search
of jobs and educational opportunities. Given this
reality, it is im portant to meet communities where
they are. One of the ways is through partnering
with com m unity colleges.
Land-grant institutions are unique because of their
mission to provide education to historically-mar
ginalized and first-generation populations as well
to provide community empowerment through
research and Extension in the community. Many
informal educational opportunities are under the
umbrellas of 4-H or youth development through
land-grant institutions. What happens to 4-H youth
who attend community college after high school?
Why Community Colleges?
The mission of community colleges has been to
offer open access to postsecondary education by
providing educational opportunities that meet
the needs of the local community (Cohen, Brawer,
& Kisker, 2or3). Due to changing student demo
graphics and the increasing demands on commu
nity colleges, these institutions play a critical role
in educating and training 2rst century workers in
high-wage, middle-skill career and technical edu
cation fields (Compton, Laanan, & Starobin, 2oro;
Laanan, Starobin, Compton, & Freidel, 2009). Also,
more women and historically underrepresented
individuals are choosing to start their postsecond
ary education at a community college with the
aspiration to transfer to a four-year college (Bragg,
2001). In 2012, 45 percent of all undergraduates, or
7.2 million students, were enrolled in community
colleges. Community college students come largely
from historically-marginalized groups such as low-
income, first-generation, females, students from
underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds,
and students over 25 years old.

Evolving Needs of Community College Students
Introduction
Community colleges were created with the sole purpose of providing an educational value to the students who could not make it to university. Most community colleges were built around a mission to allow those students that may not make it to other primal facilities of higher learning (O'Banion, 2019). In as far as the higher education system is concern in the United States, Community Colleges have played a major part in serve the greater part of the population. They are geared at providing very intrinsic value to the business environment. Community college enables students to acquire hands-on experience that allows them to operate in a very versatile economic environment. Some of the students that attend community colleges do not have enough money because they may be from disadvantaged backgrounds or fail to win a scholarship to university.
Stakeholder roles
Internal stakeholders are faculty members, students, staff, the board of trustees, and professors who form and implement the students’ curriculum. These stakeholders are responsible for formulating and designing the lesson plans and designing frameworks that enable the overall learning to add value to the student. To a greater extent community colleges have been able to stay at par with other universities and colleges not only in the United States, but also across the world. It is tailor-made to suit specific needs in the job markets and allow the students to be innovative and inventive within their learning capabilities. The most immediate results are the ability to gain a competitive edge in the workforce and also provide innovative solutions. Other stakeholders are parents, business owners, and teachers. External stakeholders include the state.
Funding model
There are various ways through which community colleges get resources in the form of capital to facilitate their operations. Community colleges get their most significant funding through state funding. Budget allocation for higher learning by the state dictates how much comprehensive community colleges get. It is based on certain factors such as the economic state of the country. There had been significant budget cuts after the global recession to community colleges that compromised the quality of education in the sector (Remington & Remington, 2012). The second source is tuition revenue, which is also significant. The local property tax revenue is also a source of funding for community colleges. Community college facilities require a high level of financial support to function effectively. Any decline of the financing gravely affects the quality of education.
Curriculum and Programs
During the recession in 2008, most programs in community colleges were shut down. Also, many facilities were consolidat.

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
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. The financial crises that started in 2007, the worst since World War II, has created financial hardships on American Higher Education. Drops in state tax revenue have resulted in less government spending on education. This budgetary shortfall is affecting how institutions recruit, hire, and retain quality personnel.
3. American higher education is being deeply affected by the current economic downturn The recession: State and federal budgetary constraints = less public spending on higher education. Education is an investment in human capital which conveys a positive externality.

14. How Rural Community Colleges Can Contribute The importance of a highly educated workforce for sustained growth is widely acknowledged and as such, rural community colleges play a key role in fueling this growth (Doug Hart; D.W. Livingstone, 2009).
15. Spillover - The availability of high skilled labor can influence the location of high-knowledge occupations By hiring quality employees, colleges can have an impact on the quality of their graduates by assuring that they learn to high standards. The high quality of a college graduate can affect a college’s standing and benefit the institution through higher ranking, thus increasing its’ enrollment and status. With increased enrollment, business opportunities increase as well.

17. Should education be considered a public good, in that a well educated labor pool could conceivably increase efficiency and produce other important external benefits to include lower unemployment, then by realizing the increased returns on the investment in its’ human capital rural community colleges should carefully budget toward recruitment and retention policies. The expansion of higher education funding and enrollment capacity may be as important as any other policy lever to cope with an economic downturn, including funding for infrastructure (Douglass, 2008).
