The document discusses the possibility of a $10,000 college degree and the disruption this could cause in higher education. It notes that rising student debt, tuition costs, and a shrinking job market have strained students. However, innovations like MOOCs have sparked debate about the costs of college and whether students can get an equivalent education for less. The panel will discuss whether a $10,000 degree is realistic, what the system might look like if degrees on average cost this amount, and if lower-cost degrees would still adequately prepare students for the workforce.
This document discusses the need for universities to innovate their models of pedagogy and knowledge production to better suit the digital age. It argues that the traditional lecture-based "broadcast" model of education is becoming obsolete and failing to meet the needs of today's students. Instead, it advocates for a new model of "collaborative learning" where students actively participate in the learning process through discussion and peer-to-peer interaction. It also calls for "collaborative knowledge production" where course content is created collaboratively across institutions through open sharing of educational resources on a global scale. The document asserts that universities must embrace these new models of collaborative learning and knowledge production, or risk becoming outdated relics like encycloped
This document discusses Abilene Christian University's initiative to provide online theological education to church leaders in Ghana through a partnership with Heritage Christian College in Accra. It launched a Master of Arts in Christian Ministry program in 2014 that allows Ghanaian students to take most courses online while completing residential requirements at Heritage. While the partnership and overall proposal made sense, implementation proved more difficult than expected due to issues with admissions, student services, technology access, and cultural misunderstandings in online communication norms. The growing trend of global online education is raising concerns about navigating cultural differences in areas like learning styles, communication preferences, and worldviews between Western and non-Western students. Understanding these cultural dynamics is important for designing culturally-sensitive online learning

The Path to Lower Tuition: Breaking the Status QuoDominic Lynch
The Path to an affordable education begins here. Dominic Lynch and Danish Murtaza take an in-depth look at the machinery of the University and offer solutions for the rising cost of education at Loyola University Chicago. The major cost drivers of tuition- administration, faculty, athletics, and financial aid- are examined, their problems identified, and solutions provided. The issues discussed in this report are real- but so are the solutions. The status quo of the “high tuition, high discount” model is worked around while plausible answers are laid out for every issue within the University machine. The Path is an innovative new look at the cost of education from the one perspective that is never consulted: the students.

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, higher, health, and medical education environments have gone from previously packed lecture halls to now empty seats. How must institutions of academic medicine and advanced learning pivot, transform, and adapt in order to ready for and survive the uncertain future? We keep hearing "new normal," but It is not that it is a new normal, but a pathway toward the future that we are seeing more clearly and visibly. We just have to adapt and change more quickly, which will require a new way of thinking in order to navigate the future.

Michael Karnjanaprakorn argues that the US education system is fundamentally broken and focuses too much on getting into college rather than learning. He discusses his own experiences in college where he memorized information to pass exams but did not truly learn. He also highlights growing issues with student loan debt and the fact that not everyone needs a college degree. Karnjanaprakorn proposes "a learning revolution" that moves beyond traditional education and focuses on lifelong learning through platforms like his own Skillshare that allow people to learn new skills from others in their community.

Why Getting Into College Is Easier ThanJ. D. Taylor
1) Getting into college is easier than many students think - over 75% of students are accepted by their first choice college and 95% enroll in one of their top 3 choices.
2) High school guidance counselors are often overworked and not well-trained in college admissions, advising students that they may not be "college material". However, some elite private schools take college advising very seriously with multiple dedicated staff.
3) While selective colleges can be difficult to get into, there are over 2,600 colleges in the US and most accept over half of applicants, with the national acceptance rate at 67%. Focusing on a range of options increases students' chances of acceptance.

Disruptive Innovation in Christian Higher Education for ACCESS Ed 2015 by And...City Vision University
Dr. Andrew Sears presented on disruptive innovation in Christian higher education. He discussed how online education is consolidating around a few large providers and how this poses challenges for smaller Christian colleges. However, new models are emerging like competency-based programs, open education, and bundling online courses with local study groups and internships. If Christian colleges innovate by unbundling and re-bundling their services, pursuing scale in online programs, and lowering costs, they may be able to better compete in the changing higher education landscape.

The International School of WA is revolutionizing its scholarship program by moving away from exams and instead using an ePortfolio application process that examines students' leadership, community service and academic transcripts. The school's principal believes this allows them to better identify well-rounded students who are a good cultural fit for the school. Applicants are encouraged to include examples of extracurricular activities in their ePortfolio.
The document provides an overview and executive summary of a plan by the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) to help increase student success in higher education. The key points are:
1) The AFT initiated a student success plan to demonstrate its commitment to student success and bring faculty/staff voices into the policy debate.
2) Current policy focuses too much on accountability measures like graduation rates and testing, without considering financial factors or faculty/staff views.
3) The AFT's approach defines student success broadly and emphasizes institutional collaboration led by faculty/staff to develop curriculum frameworks tailored to each school.
4) Roles and responsibilities for stakeholders - including faculty, administrators, students, and government - must

This document discusses a series of deliberative dialogue forums held at Montgomery College to examine how the community thinks about issues of access, affordability, and the capacity of higher education to meet increasing enrollment demands. Over 500 community members participated in 16 forums. Key findings include that the community sees access to higher education as a complex issue without a one-size-fits-all solution and believes it is a privilege for all, not just the privileged. The forums highlighted concerns about undocumented citizens being able to access higher education. Montgomery College will consider these views as it plans for increased enrollment and how to remain affordable and accessible to all community members.
Seizing the Moment - Student-Centered LearningSteven Brown
This document discusses student-centered learning and makes recommendations to promote its adoption. It contains the following key points:
1. Student-centered learning engages students in powerful learning experiences that inspire passion and prepare them for an unpredictable future.
2. Traditional classrooms are not adequately preparing many students, especially those in disadvantaged communities, for 21st century skills. Student-centered learning can help close achievement gaps while raising standards for all.
3. The document recommends policies at the federal, state, and local levels to support student-centered approaches, expand learning opportunities for underserved youth, and build public support for educational innovation.

A Place For Scholarship In Campus Activities Practice A Collective Case StudyDaniel Wachtel
This document summarizes a dissertation about integrating scholarship into campus activities practice. The dissertation used a collective case study of 4 institutions recognized for excellence in campus activities. Interviews with 23 campus activities staff and 6 senior student affairs officers explored how they engage with Boyer's frames of scholarship in their work. Findings showed campus activities practitioners strongly identify with the scholarship of teaching. They have moderate engagement with application and integration but are disconnected from discovery. Practitioners believe their work connects to scholarship frames but it may not be viewed as scholarship on campus. Obstacles to engagement include time limits and perceptions of their role. Supervisors and graduate programs have some influence on practitioners' scholar identities.

2. How do we build a bridge for our students between
the inspiring, unscripted, universal power of an educa-
tion that transcends the demands of the moment, and
their very present needs and worries?
I posed that very question – my colleagues and I
wrestle with it often – at the College’s fall convo-
cation. We had recently welcomed to campus the
Class of 2019, one of the largest and most highly
qualified in Le Moyne’s history. It is a diverse group
of bright, thoughtful individuals and I am confident
that they will make phenomenal contributions to
the communities where they will one day live and
work. But before they do, I hope that these young
men and women gain an appreciation for the ways
in which a brave, inspired and unfettered intellect
can change the way it relates to the world in which
it exists. I pray that, over the next four years, they
learn to be inspired, rather than frightened, by the
complexity and ambiguity of that world.
Put another way, my wish for these students is
that, as they grow and evolve during their time at
Le Moyne, they awaken to how much more there
is that they still do not know, and how much more
there is to discover. If their Jesuit education is to
serve them well, it must show them that uncertainty
can foster curiosity; it must urge them away from
complacency. Beyond that, if we are to honor our
commitment to provide these emerging leaders with
an education centered on creativity, innovation and
sustainability, we must teach them that not only
does knowledge answer questions, it also raises new
ones.
I recently came across an opinion piece in the
New York Times in which the author, Jamie Holmes,
makes precisely this case. In the column Holmes
reflects on research that Columbia University neu-
roscientist Stuart Firestein conducted on the human
brain, ultimately concluding, “Discovery is not the
neat and linear process many students imagine, but
usually involves, in Dr. Firestein’s phrasing, ‘feeling
around in dark rooms, bumping into unidentifiable
things, looking for barely perceptible phantoms.’”
We owe it to our students to allow them to feel
around in those “dark rooms,” bump into “unidenti-
fiable things” and look for those “barely perceptible
phantoms.” Only then will they be prepared to meet
the world and the challenges and opportunities
inherent in it.
Sincerely,
Linda M. LeMura, Ph.D.
President
Vol. 19 Fall 2015
From the President
O
fficials from Le Moyne and the
School of Information Studies
at Syracuse University (iSchool)
recently entered into an agreement that
expands the academic collaboration that
has existed between the schools since
2011.
The new Fast Track graduate
education path extends the partnership
to Le Moyne students within any of
the College’s three academic areas – the
College of Arts and Sciences, the
Madden School of Business and the
School of Graduate and Professional
Studies – to earn information manage-
ment and library science master’s degrees
on an accelerated basis through the
iSchool. Previously, the agreement
permitted students in the Madden
School only to earn accelerated master’s
degrees at the iSchool in information
management.
“This agreement opens up a world
of new possibilities for any Le Moyne
student interested in continuing his
or her studies at the graduate level within
the iSchool,” said Thomas Brockelman,
Ph.D., provost and vice president for
academic affairs.
The Fast Track articulation agree-
ment leads to one of the following three
degrees: the M.S. in information manage-
ment, the M.S. in library and
information sciences, or the
M.S. in library and informa-
tion sciences-school media
specialization.
“The Master of Library
Science degree reflects an
exciting new direction for the
College of Arts and Sciences;
it also presents an opportu-
nity that many Le Moyne
students, particularly in the
humanities, have requested,”
said Kate Costello-Sullivan,
Ph.D., dean of the College
of Arts and Sciences. “In
addition, the cultural heritage
certification option and the
technical training this graduate degree
provides illustrate the kind of flexibility
that liberal arts undergraduates from
fields as diverse as English, history, sociol-
ogy, anthropology, or computer science
can employ.”
Students enrolled in the Fast Track
program can earn their graduate degree
in one year of full-time graduate study,
resulting in a significant savings of time
and money. ■

Thanks to the continued generosity of
Le Moyne alumni, friends, parents, students and
staff, unrestricted contributions to the College
continued to increase in scope and magnitude this
past fiscal year.
Unrestricted gifts, or those that are not
earmarked for a particular use, are essential for
Le Moyne. They provide College leaders with the
flexibility to steer those funds to two of its greatest
priorities – student scholarship and instruction.
They also give Le Moyne the operational
flexibility to meet immediate and unintended
costs. This past year’s unrestricted contributions
established a new record for the College. ■

Approximately 1,000 alumni and guests returned to the Heights for Reunion Weekend
2015. The alumni celebrating a reunion raised over $1.2 million for the College, thanks to
broad and large participation from the twelve reunion classes and some heavy lifting done by
1965’s John Purcell and 1960’s Jack Collins. Their gifts will have direct impact on the student
aid, instruction, research and academic support.
