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 ...

Free Education in the Philippines: The Continuing SagaIJAEMSJORNAL
One of the most notable milestones in the Philippine education is when the government actively seeks to expand access and participation in higher education through the ratification of RA 10931 or the “Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act”. Thus, this study aims to examine and assess the effects of the law in our educational system. Providing sufficient funds is not enough; the government must give meaning to the title of the new law, which is the provision of “quality” tertiary education. This program is an investment in the nation’s most precious resource. Quality education empowers people and levels the playing field; it is one of the best tools for poverty alleviation, social equity and inclusive growth. There should be no compromise on the quality of the services provided under RA 10931. Free must not mean substandard. In this study, the researcher used qualitative research method. Qualitative research method was developed in the social sciences to enable researchers to study social and cultural phenomena: observe feelings, thoughts, behaviors and the belief of the mass society.
11 Creative Strategies to Improve Community College Financial AidCampusLogic
Which students are least likely to apply for financial aid?
Apparently it’s those who need it the most, according to The Financial Aid Challenge. Community college students with low to moderate income are the population most unlikely to file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). FAFSA filing is the first requirement for students who seek federal financial aid; for many community college students, financial aid is the only way they will complete their programs. Yet, FAFSA apps aren’t coming in for the neediest students.
So what can community college financial aid directors do to make it easier for students to pursue financial aid? Below we discuss why community college students might not use financial aid. Then we expound on advice from The Financial Aid Challenge to offer solutions for your community college.
Reimagining Minnesota State is a process to understand the impact of the disruptive forces currently facing U.S. higher education and how Minnesota State can best respond to an environment of accelerating change by unleashing the innovation of our campuses and people. Our challenge and our opportunity is to harness these emerging trends and disruptions and leverage them to become the system of post-secondary education Minnesota will need in the future.
We are beyond the half-way point of the Forum on Reimagining Minnesota State, which provides an opportunity organize discussions that will emerge as themes in a broader discussion with key stakeholder groups. The discussions will provide opportunities to challenge and extend the ideas presented in the Forum report and to introduce key new ideas that will shape the Final Report on Reimagining Minnesota State that will be presented to the Board of Trustees of Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system.

This workshop will help students lay the groundwork for starting a food pantry on campus. We'll be going over strategies to gain support on campus through conducting a student needs assessment, tabling, and strategic messaging.
Transferring from a community or technical college to a state university is complex and can be extremely confusing.

This year we will begin an effort to educate students about these changes and find ways to make it easier for students to complete their degree.

A Community Approach to Sexual Violence Prevention: Affirmative Consent and B...MSCSA
Sexual violence is a pervasive issue on college and universities campuses. Research suggests every 98 seconds another American is sexually assaulted and that sexual violence is more prevalent on college campuses compared to other crimes (RAINN, 2018). Multiple measures must be taken through policy development, advocacy, and education to address this significant problem. In this session, the presenters will discuss the recent change made to the Minnesota State sexual violence policy to affirmative consent and how proactive bystander intervention training can engage others in the fight against sexual violence.
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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
