However, in their current design, online courses are difficult, especially for the students who are least prepared. These students’ learning and persistence outcomes are worse when they take online […]

Better Accreditation Options

Does anyone out there think higher education doesn’t cost enough? Or that there are plenty of ideological points of view for students to choose from? I didn’t think so.

Reject Education Cuts

President Trump’s proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2018 (FY18) proposes drastic and harmful cuts to vital employment, education, and training services that enable low-income youth and adults to improve their skills and succeed in the workforce.

My Diversity Moment with the Military

Two weeks ago, I was in Arlington, Va., giving an Asian Pacific American Heritage Month speech at the national headquarters of the Army National Guard. Who else is mandated by law to celebrate diversity at the workplace like those within the federal government? But at the Army National Guard, it’s more than lip service because […]

Accept Military Credits
