Fighting Hunger
Last spring, my son, Anton, told me he went to the food pantry at California State University Monterey Bay, where he’s a senior. He said that one of his friends was joking about going to the pantry just to see what was there. What Anton didn’t realize was that his friend was “joking” to cover […]

Designing ‘Promise’ Programs
Promise programs, or free college programs, are increasingly popular solutions to college affordability issues. Typically, these programs offer college scholarships to recent high school graduates to cover up to 100 percent of tuition and fees at postsecondary institutions in close proximity to the promise community. According to the College Promise Campaign, there are currently over 200 promise […]

Drink It In
There’s a meme that keeps popping up that says “hmmmm … and yet another day has passed and I did not use Algebra once … very interesting.” Oh, but we Americans do have a strong anti-intellectual strain in our collective DNA. Never mind that anytime we cross a bridge or travel through a tunnel or, […]

The Challenge

Dual-Credit Rules
September 1 of 2017 was the deadline for Kansas high school instructors of academic college credit courses to have a masters degree and 18 graduate credit hours in the subject being taught.

Cuomo’s Hustle
Television ads featuring starry-eyed millennials thanking New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for a chance at higher learning cropped up on screens across the state this summer. The ads, paid for by the governor’s campaign, tout him as a “proven leader who gets real results.” Yet as Cuomo campaigns against the left-leaning primary challenge from actress […]

Mental Health
Every college should offer mental health services. Maybe this seems like a foregone conclusion. But in a recent survey by the California Health Report, as well as findings by experts, 19 of the 114 community colleges in California were found to have no mental health services on campus. By itself, this is worrisome, but it […]

No Diploma Mills
In June, the California legislature finalized a plan that will encourage community colleges to confer degrees to students and allow them to transfer to four-year colleges by withholding funding from low-performing community colleges. This is a flawed plan for three major reasons. First, encouraging community colleges to graduate students who are not ready for four […]

Scaling Back
Gov. Phil Murphy had a big plan for free community college for all in New Jersey. It arrived this month, looking much diminished. Instead of free college at a two-year school for anyone who wants it, income-qualifying students will get the balance paid on what they owe after their state and federal aid is applied […]
