Art for Healing

ARLINGTON, Va. – An art exhibit can be many things to many people – different styles and tastes that will hopefully render an artist a success. Success in this case is the courage exhibited by Sgt. Neil Kurtys. Mental illness is the white elephant in the room that is difficult to talk about. So instead […]

If It Ain’t Broke….

Many for-profit colleges get 80 percent, 90 percent, or more of their revenue from taxpayers. Taxpayers have a right to expect adequate performance and avoidance of waste, fraud, and abuse. Some for-profit schools do a good job. But there’s enormous evidence that many for-profit schools, getting billions in federal aid, have engaged in deceptive and […]

Paying for Online Ed

Online college programs are becoming a more popular choice for prospective students, with one study finding that more than 6 million students enrolled in at least one online course in fall 2015. The popularity of these courses can be attributed in part to their flexibility with working adults’ schedules, students’ ability to progress more quickly […]

Building Better MOOCS

A Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is an ideal way to get students, employees or interested parties together and to learn something – they’ve even been shown to work for the most maligned of subjects, Compliance Training! But, how do you keep a MOOC social? What should you focus on if you are developing a […]

Online Challenge

The University of Massachusetts has set an ambitious goal for its renewed push into online education: to increase annual online revenue from $100 million to $400 million. To make that happen, UMass has to break out in an already crowded market and make up for some major lost time. The university system has also hired […]

Getting Down to Business

Attention: Our 20 million veterans represent 9 percent of the total U.S. population. There are 2.5 million veteran-owned businesses in the U.S. that contribute $195 billion in annual payroll and account for $1.1 trillion in annual receipts. According to the study that produced those statistics, veterans have launched businesses at higher rates than non-veterans for […]

Elitists and Crybabies

Frank Antenori shot the head off a rattlesnake at his back door last summer — a deadeye pistol blast from 20 feet. No college professor taught him that. The U.S. Army trained him, as a marksman and a medic, on the “two-way rifle range” of Afghanistan and Iraq. Useful skills. Smart return on taxpayers’ investment. […]

Protesting ROTC

Should you have a liking for antiwar agitators who dizzyingly stay on message, protest after protest and arrest after arrest, you might sign on with Bob Graf. The Milwaukee-based former Jesuit scholastic who has close ties to the Catholic Worker, was and is the organizing force behind a national campaign to rid the Reserve Officers […]

What Next?

Why are you serving in uniform? Think back to the day when you signed on the dotted line and left home to serve your country. Some of us did it to start a career and get an education. Maybe you were following in your mom or dad’s footsteps or you always wanted to serve for […]

Whitening Academia

While a House Republican proposal to tax the tuition waivers of graduate students may not be among the highest-profile Trump-era assaults on people of color, it represents a serious threat to racial equality. If included in the final tax plan, it would disproportionately harm nonwhite graduate students and be disastrous for the already dismal diversity […]

Killing the Future

We are witnessing the death of the information age. There is a continued assault on education from this administration and its cronies. Efforts to privatize and silo education, tax graduate students for their education benefits, and the looming threat of net neutrality reversal, all seem to take aim at learners, benefiting the pockets of some […]
