She shares the moment a friend's brother told her she was “UC material,” how a student job in the development office changed everything, and the 27-year run that followed at UC Riverside—from prospect research to launching a successful capital campaign as Associate Vice Chancellor.Marie also talks about her leap to Texas and what it took to transform a team of 38 (with 20 open roles!) into a fully staffed, energized, and collaborative division ready to launch UTA's first-ever comprehensive campaign. Along the way, she unpacks lessons on team culture, cultivating emerging leaders, and what it means to "trust the process" when you're rebuilding from scratch.When asked what it means to be a great gift officer, Marie says it's about being genuine, following through, and sparking impact—not just for the institution, but for the donor, too.Tune in!

Recent changes in the Education Department's regulations are reshaping mergers and acquisitions in higher education. These regulatory modifications, coupled with new negotiated rulemaking, are affecting not only the dynamics of institutional changes but also the roles of accreditors and state authorization bodies​​. Drumm McNaughton welcomes Mike Goldstein, Managing Director of the Center for Higher Education Transformation at Titan Partners, to discuss significant regulatory changes in the field of higher education. Key Discussion Points: New Regulatory Landscape: Exploration of the Department of Education's recent regulatory changes and their impact on higher education institutions' merger and acquisition activities. The critical distinction between ownership and control in the context of these regulatory changes. Impact on Institutional Dynamics: Insight into different models of mergers and acquisitions, illustrated through real-world examples. Discussion on the economic challenges faced by private, non-profit institutions leading to increased merger and acquisition activities. Federal Government's Role and Intentions: Analysis of the federal government's objectives in implementing these regulations, focusing on student protection and institutional accountability. Negotiated Rulemaking and State Authorization: Discussion on the details of the new rulemaking process and its implications for accreditors and state authorization. Mike Goldstein's perspective on the increasing scrutiny and expectations from regulatory bodies. Three Key Takeaways for Higher Education Presidents and Boards 1.     Explore Mergers and Acquisitions When Beneficial If a school can benefit from merging with, being acquired by, or acquiring another institution in terms of its educational mission, community service, or finances, it should confidently consider such options. 2.     Proceed with Caution and Strategic Partnership It is crucial to choose partners carefully. Institutions should merge or acquire only if it leads to mutual benefits such as scale, management efficiency, or program diversity. Avoid merging failing institutions as it only leads to a larger failing entity. 3.     Ensure Professionalism and Meticulous Planning Mergers and acquisitions in higher education require sophisticated handling of legal, financing, and academic issues. Professional guidance is essential to navigate these complexities and to model successful institutional mergers. Final Thoughts As we navigate these pivotal regulatory changes, it's clear that their impact goes beyond mere compliance. These shifts represent a transformative moment in higher education, prompting institutions to rethink their strategies around mergers and acquisitions. The implications are profound, potentially reshaping the very fabric of higher education as we know it. Institutions must not only adapt to these changes but also seize the opportunities they present for innovation and sustainable growth.   Read the transcript on our website →   About Our Podcast Guest Michael Goldstein is the Managing Director of the Center for Higher Education Transformation at Titan Partners.

At the heart of leadership lies the profound ability to channel innate talents towards enriching the lives of others. A true leader, like John Rathje, Vice President, Information Services, and CIO at Kent State University, embodies this essence. It's not merely about personal prowess or skills, but rather the art of leveraging one's gifts to uplift and empower those around them. Leadership isn't a solitary journey; it's a commitment to nurturing the potential within oneself and harnessing it to positively impact the world. John Rathje exemplifies this by not only excelling in his role but by also embracing the responsibility to inspire and elevate others, epitomizing the core ethos of leadership: the altruistic use of one's talents to bless and elevate others.Here's more about John RathjeObjective, professional and strategic leader. I seek outcomes which improve process, enhance user experience and reduce complexity. Operational excellence is the expectation.Teams that think creatively and value difference and diversity energize me. I appreciate challenges that invite innovation, collaboration and fresh perspectives.Prior to joining Kent State, John spent 15 years in informational technology roles in higher education. Most recently he served as the Associate Vice Chancellor and CIO at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR). He also served as the Dean of Technology for Central Michigan University (CMU) College of Medicine and as the Director of Application Development and Support at Central Michigan University. In the private sector, John served as President and CEO of a technology advocacy firm and Co-Founder and President of Diversified Computer Group, Inc.

Many higher education administrators are called to their positions for the same reason: to help students succeed. Lisa Mazure, Associate Vice Chancellor for Finance and Fiscal Services at Alamo Colleges District, joins this episode of FOCUS to share her experiences with supporting students while keeping accounts receivable and revenue flow healthy. Listen to hear her journey of improving account services at different institutions, leading to an increase in student success and financial literacy. Lansing Community College Mazure joined Lansing Community College as the institution's Controller after 25 years working for the government in the Office of the Auditor General. One of the first things she noticed in her role at Lansing was the disjointed experience for students interacting with the Student Finance Office for payments and refunds. Students were forced to log into multiple systems to manage different functions. From that point, she sought to consolidate the system down to one unified platform to make it easier for students. In her search for solutions, the benefits of TouchNet became clear. The college already used TouchNet for accepting online payments, but learned it could be expanded to also offer payment plans, refunds, and much more all through a single solution. This allowed LCC to reduce the number of systems that staff had to be trained on, improve the student and staff experience by managing everything in one place, and provide streamlined reporting and updated student accounts. Payment plans Once Mazure's mission to simplify student finances was complete, she turned her attention to creating payment plans that accelerated student success. “My goal is always for my students to be able to balance that financial responsibility with their academic success,” said Mazure. One of the first plans the college implemented was bi-weekly payment plans, which remains popular with students because it spreads payments out in a way that matches up with paychecks rather than one lump sum each month. Lansing also added specialized payment plans for past-due balances. Each plan is specific to a student's account balance and the repayment agreement they have with the institution. Students on this plan have the opportunity to have their balances forgiven if they complete a certain number of credit hours and meet other Student Finance Office requirements. Students on financial aid that didn't cover their full balance were given a payment plan that started later in the semester, after their financial aid was fully rewarded. This made it easier on students to pay correct balances after the add/drop course period concluded. Veterans, students in the Adult Resource Center, those with childcare scholarships, and other special cases were also given additional payment plan options. Adding plans for these unique situations gave students more financial freedom, helping them be more successful on campus. Alamo Colleges District The Alamo Colleges District is a system of five independently accredited colleges with over 69,000 students across Bexar County in southern Texas. The district is home to an HBCU and all five are Hispanic serving institutions. Since Mazure joined the district, the system has been dealing with a large accounts receivable balance stemming from conditions during the pandemic, in which the colleges avoided putting holds on student accounts. She and her team are actively exploring solutions for reengaging students with past due balances and starting the process of placing holds again. It is important for Mazure and the system to find the balance between financial responsibility and academic achievement. Like Lansing Community College, the Alamo Colleges District uses TouchNet solutions for student finance needs, but has not used the tools to their full potential. Mazure has been working to incorporate as many TouchNet solutions as possible to create immediate changes to help students. Balancing accounts receivable The first change the district implemented was separating out past-due balances from current payment plans, so the financial office could work with students to address each balance on its own. Before then, payments made to current statements were automatically applied to past-due balances, making it difficult for students to stay up-to-date on current charges. Mazure's approach is that students should have the opportunity to take care of past due balances independent of payment plans for current terms. The Alamo Colleges District has now expanded their payment plan options to give students more flexibility to choose a plan that is right for them, leading to increases in payment plan enrollments and healthier accounts receivable balances while helping students meet their goals. To further address outstanding past-due balances, the district has classified them into different buckets. Depending on how old the balance is, it might be forgiven. In other instances, students may be directly contacted with the option to enroll in a specialized repayment plan like mentioned before. The hope is that fewer students will be affected when the District decides to reimplement holds since they will have had the opportunity to resolve past due balances. These efforts tie back to the district's goal of eliminating poverty through education and have an overall positive effect on students and their finances. Maximize change at your institution Getting the most out of your enterprise-level solutions doesn't have to be as daunting as it may seem. For Mazure, getting buy-in from staff and other leadership at Alamo Colleges District early in the process made all the difference. They have been able to work together to establish what the institution calls WIGs (wild improvement goals) to stay on strategy as they move forward. The IT department has also been integral in the process because they know the most about the existing TouchNet system and what was possible. As far as communicating with students about upcoming changes, payment plans, overall student financial literacy, and the Business Office's role in their success, the district has incorporated student financial services into the orientation process. This sets a foundation with students from the moment they step foot on campus that the student finance office is there to help. This coaches students that they have a stake in their education, not just on the academic side, but also when it comes to finances. Keeping all this in mind helps the student finance office move towards the final goal: helping students succeed financially, so they can succeed academically. Special Guest: Lisa Mazure.

In this episode I have an interview with a leading scientist specializing in gut microbiota. These are the microbes that live in your intestine and help you digest your food. Our DNA does not have all the enzymes we need to break down food into the vitamins and minerals we need. We live in a symbiotic relationship with this microbial ecosystem.  We provide the microbes a home and they provide us with nutrients. When the ecosystem gets out of whack we can get sick. Sometimes we take anti-biotics to cure an infection and that throws a huge wrench into this ecosystem. I've seen a lot of folks saying probiotics help to build a robust microbiome, and I've also heard a lot of folks saying that anything you eat gets killed in the stomach. I'd like to hear what the experts have to say. Professor Jack Gilbert joined UCSD in 2019 where he is a Professor in Pediatrics and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Associate Vice Chancellor for Marine Science, and Director of both the Microbiome and Metagenomics Center and the Microbiome Core Facility. He uses molecular analysis to test fundamental hypotheses in microbial ecology. He cofounded the Earth Microbiome Project and American Gut Project, has authored over 400 peer reviewed publications and book chapters on microbial ecology, co-authored the book “Dirt is Good,” and is the founding Editor in Chief of ASM mSystems journal. He founded BiomeSense Inc to produce automated microbiome sensors.

 For over 40 years, affirmative action was one of the nation's key tools in helping create diverse working and learning environments. The practice of affirmative action in higher education admissions processes has been challenged several times over, and on June 29, 2023 the Supreme Court overturned previous rulings on the practice's legality in their decisions in SFFA v. Harvard and SFFA v. UNC Chapel-Hill. This episode was recorded before a decision was issued in Harvard and UNC.  Despite the decision restricting the discretion of educators and admissions officers, they are still charged with the moral imperative to promote diverse learning environments. Hosted by Dr. Kesha Moore, this episode explores how affirmative action can create a thriving multiracial, multiethnic democracy, and what we can learn from institution of higher education in states that have banned affirmative action while still prioritizing diversity. Guests:  Michaele Turnage Young, Senior Counsel (LDF),  Femi Ogundele, Associate Vice Chancellor of Admissions and Enrollment (University of California Berkeley), and Muskaan Arshad, Student (Harvard College)Hosted by Kesha Moore.

The recently filed and highly publicized Florida versus the Department of Education lawsuit could change the face of higher education across the US. At stake is the ability of accreditors to set standards in the accreditation versus how much state governments can be involved in accreditation affairs. Essentially the lawsuit is pushing to allow institutions to change their accreditors without being restricted by the Department of Education and that, as the owner of state schools, the state has control over what these institutions can do. In this podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton once again speaks with higher ed legal expert Michael Goldstein of Tyton Partners, who returns to Changing Higher Ed to discuss the background behind the lawsuit, its reasons, and its implications for higher education institutions and accreditation. Podcast Highlights Florida's Gov DeSantis directed his attorney general to file a lawsuit against the Department of Education. The case, Florida v. Department of Education, questions the authority of the Department to have a third party certify the quality of education, require independent boards, and a host of other things. Florida's complaint was filed in federal district court on June 21. The US Department of Justice has yet to file a response. Before the lawsuit, Florida passed a law at Gov DeSantis' direction that would require every institution in the State to change its accreditor in a relatively short cycle. The intent was to get Florida institutions out of the purview of SACSCOC and move to more conservative accreditors. This also had the intention of applying pressure on accreditors to back away from protecting the independence of institutional boards to allow states to take a more affirmative role in what they want to do. The legislation basically asked, “Why doesn't the Department of Education have an accreditation process for determining what institutions are qualified for the same way that the federal government decides what drugs are suitable for use in medical treatment through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration?" After a harsh reaction, the state changed its stance to say that within two years, the State required that all public institutions in Florida change their primary institutional accreditor. In the current accreditation process, states authorize institutions to grant degrees by their criteria, and then the school must be accredited by an accrediting agency that the Department has determined to be a reliable arbiter of institutional quality. Then, if the Department of Education determines that the institution has the financial stability and the administrative capability to manage the student aid programs, it could enter into a participation agreement, give Pell Grant loans, and be in the Federal Family Education Loan [FFEL] program, and in the direct loan program, enabling it to access trillions of dollars of student aid. The lawsuit says state governments are the owners of state institutions and that, as creatures of the state, these schools are responsible to the state legislature and the state government. So, if the legislature or the state government directs that these schools should act in a particular way, they should not be prohibited from doing so. This is analogous to an accreditation standard rule that was made to allow for-profit institutions to participate in student aid programs. The rule says that the board must be independent, and a majority of the members of the board are required to be independent of ownership to provide some level of insulation between the financial interests of the parent company, who is the owner, and, by law, the conduct of the institution. This supports the lawsuit's theory that the state owns state institutions. The Florida lawsuit first asks the court to determine that outsourcing institutional assessment of institutional quality to a non-governmental entity is an unconstitutional delegation of governmental authority. If that argument is rejected, the lawsuit asks to prevent the Department of Education from restricting the ability of institutions to change their accreditor. Because institutional accreditors are no longer restricted by region or country, Florida winning the lawsuit could result in the creation of different rules regarding the kinds of issues that the institutions are dealing with in Florida. There are also questions on how this could impact how NACIQI and the Department of Education approve accreditors. This accreditation lawsuit is similar to the ongoing question of whether states have too much authority in SARA. If an institution is accredited, approved by a state, and that state is a participant in NC-SARA, SARA says that the state can offer its online courses anywhere in the US (except California, which is not a signatory to the SARA agreement) without further approval.

Welcome to our ICONversations, a series where you will hear iconic Black feminist anthropologists answer five questions about their intellectual projects and growth, what their work has meant to them, and the imprints they want to leave on the world. Listen to our candid ICONversation with Dr. Yolanda T. Moses, the professor and mentor who is truly about that Black feminist life. We had an inspiring conversation with Dr. Moses, learning about how she models change and lives her principles. In her words: "Praxis is where I experience the change I want to see." Dr. Moses was the first woman President of CUNY City College in New York, served as Associate Vice Chancellor, Diversity and Inclusion at UC Riverside, and continues to strategically collaborate to tackle structures of inequity in higher education.

On episode 403 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Dr. G. Rumay Alexander, EdD, RN, FAAN, a noted presenter, provocateur, consultant, professor of nursing, and the American Nurses Association's current Scholar-In-Residence. In the course of their conversation, Keith and Dr. Alexander converse on a variety of subjects, including being a Black nurse who embodies the dream that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. so passionately described in his famous speech. Dr. Alexander abhors what she refers to as "truth decay", and she is passionate about busting stereotypes. Detesting being put in a box, she has dedicated her life to kicking down the sides of the box and speaking and giving voice to the hurts and slights suffered by so many throughout history. Dr. Alexander feels blessed to have had a seat at so many tables, and advises others to get themselves into spaces where they can be seen and heard, and thus have more impact. G. Rumay Alexander, EdD, RN, FAAN is a professor in the School of Nursing, Assistant Dean of Relational Excellence at the Adams School of Dentistry, and formerly the Associate Vice-Chancellor for Diversity and Inclusion/Chief Diversity Officer of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

In February of 2021, she became the American Nurses Association's Scholar-In-Residence and advises the National Commission to Address Racism in Nursing. Dr. Alexander is the Senior Vice President for Clinical and Professional Services at the Tennessee Hospital Association and their first vice president of color for two decades. As one of nursing's prominent thought leaders, guiding individuals in academic, corporate, health care and religious organizations in the exploration of marginalizing processes and lived experiences of difference, Dr. Alexander's expertise has and continues to be frequently sought. She has been appointed to several transformative healthcare initiatives addressing diversity, equity and inclusion including the Commission of Workforce for Hospitals and Health Systems of the American Hospital Association (over 500,000 copies of the report have been distributed nationally and internationally), the Tri-Council of Nursing, and the National Quality Forum's steering committee which developed the first national voluntary consensus standards for nursing-sensitive care.  Dr. Alexander holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Tennessee - Knoxville, a   Masters' of Science in Nursing (MSN) and Family Nurse Practitioner from Vanderbilt University and an EdD (Doctorate) in Education, Administration and Supervision from Tennessee State University.   ----------- Nurse Keith is a holistic career coach for nurses, professional podcaster, published author, award-winning blogger, inspiring keynote speaker, and successful nurse entrepreneur. Connect with Nurse Keith at NurseKeith.com, and on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

Over the last four decades, affirmative action has helped transform diversity on college campuses in the United States. But soon, affirmative action in higher education may come to an end. This week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments challenging affirmative action policies at Harvard and the University of North Carolina. Many Court observers believe that the current 6-3 conservative supermajority will rule that higher education can no longer consider race as a factor in admitting students. If affirmative action is overturned, what tools can colleges and universities use to make their campuses more diverse? For answers, we look to California. In 1996 the state banned the use of affirmative action in public universities. Mitchell Chang is Associate Vice Chancellor of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at the University of California, Los Angeles. He spoke with NPR's Adrian Florido.

The questions and stresses around college applications, essays, and admissions get a lot of attention every fall. Students on the spectrum may feel especially anxious or challenged about how to approach the process, and whether or not to reveal or even write about their diagnosis. Other questions students have might include: Are there accommodations that kick in as early as the application process? And what about the pros and cons of an in-person visit? To demystify the process and offer insights especially for students on the spectrum, this episode features conversation with admissions officials from two very different colleges. Emily Engleschall is the Associate Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Services and longtime admissions advisor at UC Riverside and Cathy Finks is the Executive Director of Admissions at the College of Wooster, a smaller private liberal arts college in Wooster, Ohio.
