Pitching Service
As many of you know I served in the armed forces for nearly a decade of my life. As a veteran, I often find myself “pitching” military service to friends, family and new people I meet throughout the course of random discussion. Read More

Families First
Recently, a coalition of military associations came out against legislation supported by the Trump administration, that would give greater school-choice options to military service members and their children. Their letter to lawmakers, sadly, puts the concerns of school district bureaucracies above the clear needs and preferences of military families. Read More

Hope for Spouses
I often hear military spouses express a sense of hopelessness when it comes to reaching personal educational and career goals due to the transient military lifestyle. The obstacles to those goals seem overwhelming or even insurmountable. My husband and I got married while I was in college. I had to decide whether to stay at […]

The V.A. Job
So far, President Donald Trump is batting two for two in picking nominees for VA secretary who go on to have their careers ruined in short order. Former VA secretary David Shulkin served for barely one year in the top role after now having his career ruined due to political infighting and ethical missteps. Shulkin […]

Sub-Par For-Profits
New York State’s for-profit colleges are familiar to most New Yorkers from subway ads and billboards, where they promise a quick route to a college credential and a lucrative career. If such offers seem a little too be good to be true, new research from the Center for Urban Future demonstrates how dramatically the reality […]

Better Thinking, Better Writing
Intelligence analysts must be critical thinkers. They need to be able to synthesize disparate information received from multiple sources, and use that information to anticipate and prevent illicit activities including terrorism, human trafficking and organized criminal elements. Analysts must also be strong writers, able to share information both clearly and concisely. Ultimately, intelligence analysts are responsible […]

About Liberty
Are you feeling good today? Let’s put a stop to that. Alec MacGillis, in a piece for the New York Times and ProPublica, notes that Liberty University is second only to the University of Phoenix when it comes to offering online education and it’s a “billion-dollar empire” for the evangelical school. The real driver of […]

Welcoming Older Students
Doretha Daniels witnessed many key moments in history, such as voting rights granted to White women, the Great Depression, both world wars, the Civil Rights Movement, the lunar landing and more. By the time she turned 50, she and other Black women in the U.S. were finally granted their right to vote in 1965. Although […]

Faking Credentials
Recently a clinical research associate (CRA) candidate I’ll call Evan approached our firm for assistance in finding a new assignment. His resume was impressive, representing strong foundations as a study coordinator with over 10 years of experience as a CRA for highly reputable CROs. There was only one problem with his impressive qualifications: The education […]

Accreditation Tricks Students
Potential students want the most bang for their buck when it comes to getting a college degree. Considering that the average bachelor’s degree can cost $100,000 or more, that’s a wise decision. Finding the right university is about finding the right program as well as the right fit, and you want a degree that’s from […]

Devos’ Ethics
Question: What do you get when you combine ignorance, imperiousness, and incompetence? Answer: Betsy DeVos. She’s Donald Trump’s multi-billionaire education secretary, who hates public education and loves the plutocratic idea of corporate rule over democracy. DeVos is so bad that she’s winning the contest for worst member of Trump’s cabinet — a little like winning […]

Admiral’s Dilemma
I’m about to suggest something that would’ve been unthinkable to me as an E-3: Put yourself in the admiral’s shoes. You’re 23 years into a terrific career as a naval physician. For 12 of that, you’ve been the president’s doctor, administering checkups to three very different POTUSes — high-stakes business, sure, but you’ve been doing […]
