This is an extremely pivotal moment in the field of higher education and student affairs. We must reckon with the complicity of higher education in projects that contribute to oppression and violence against people across the globe. And we must also reckon with the roles that higher education professionals played in the repression of students’ right to speak up. We cannot ignore the ripples of this moment in our field. We must, for the sake of our students and our purported commitments, reflect and question what higher education is/does. We can build a better future, but to do so we must come to terms with our past and present. We must do better.

The crisis in higher education is undeniable – indoctrination, sky-high costs, and declining value have eroded public trust. We need reforms that promote affordability, protect free inquiry, and empower donors to support institutions that prioritize academic rigor and intellectual freedom.

What is classical education? Two leading educators talk specifics about the classical education movement, and how it is impacting students. That story along with interest rate updates from Ziegler, all in our latest newsletter for K-12/Charter schools. https://bit.ly/4cJ0AvB

John F. Kennedy, Jr. once said “Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.” So it is a tragedy (and a threat to the US's future development and growth) that our public schools fail so many children. That tragedy is compounded by the opposition from much of the educational establishment ... and a growing portion of our political elite (including our current President) ... to charter schools. A new study from Stanford University's Centre for Research on Education Outcomes of nearly 2 million charter school students and a similar control group of public school students demonstrates the positive impact charter schools can have on children, especially the most disadvantaged who are least well served by our public schools, and who stand to gain the most from a great education! The study found that in math, the average charter student advanced by an extra six days each year compared with one at a traditional public school, and by 16 days in reading. And students in cities, as well as Hispanic and African-American students, benefitted the most. The study also refuted the argument that over-performance by charter students was because those schools were creaming off the most motivated pupils or parents, finding that charter schools take in students who are doing worse than their classmates in public schools. It's time that charter school opponents put aside their ill-informed (or self-serving) opposition, follow the facts, and support charter schools and our kids! https://lnkd.in/gMAUJP2Q
