Chancellor of the California Committee of Colleges Eloy Oakley recently spent some time in November 2021 in Washington, D.C. with the U.S. Department of Education to help with the BBB - Build Back Better vision of the current administration. He discussed the bureaucracy in the Department of Education, how his visit impacted his leadership style, and policy perspectives. Oakley was most surprised by the many layers of red tape and how big the bureaucracy is in D.C. when compared to California's large bureaucracy. He expressed that although higher education and getting people back to work are bi-partisan issues, the lingering issues such as the first year of an administration coming into a pandemic and a lot of people who believe the election was illegitimate makes it frustrating trying to get things done on top of all the red tape and bureaucracy. People who helped him navigate the vastness of the Department of Education were Ted Mitchell and John King, who helped him understand who's who, which departments he needed to rely on, and which departments he needed to keep communication open with. “It was like a foreign country, walking into the Lyndon B. Johnson building.” He shared that the building was basically empty because of COVID, so it was “critically important for me to understand the organization chart there at the Department of Education.” When asked how his experience in DC will impact his leadership style going forward, he explained how not being in charge and being a support member for the Secretary of Education was a humbling experience. By supporting someone else, it gave him a perspective of what his team goes through trying to support him as a leader. He said, “I saw myself as a resource. I see myself as trying to help something that's bigger than me.” This exercise in humility helped him realize what looks the leader gives and who the leader says “hello” to or not say “hello” to impacts team members. He said, “I think it will help me to make more space and time for each individual member of the team, so that they all feel connected to the work.” With regard to policy, Oakley stated, “The other thing that surprised me with the turmoil we have experienced with COVID is how different all 50 states are. Once I got to understand how federal policy would work in a state, it became exceptionally obvious how difficult it is for the Department of Education to try to craft federal policy for the entire nation given how different our states are and of course states are primarily responsible for higher education in their states. The final thing is how much online education stretches across states, so it makes it even more complex to develop federal policy.” He felt his perspective on how policy actually works on the ground was helpful to the administration. He gave examples of policies that impact students directly, like America's College Promise, completion grants, consumer protection, and loan forgiveness. Bureaucracy, leadership styles, and policy issues addressed during his visit gave him an overall positive experience. His drive to go to D.C. was from a sense of urgency since “we have a President, certainly a first lady and administration who is willing to put attention on universities that serve the majority of Americans.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/innovationalliance/message

What if you told an entire 3rd grade class that a college degree was expected? What if you also told those same 3rd graders that they did not have to pay for that college education—meaning if they worked hard, graduated high school and got accepted to college, they would receive a college education for free. What would they do? And who could make that promise? In this Tugboat Institute® podcast, Tom Rosztoczy, President and CEO of Stotz Equipment, shares how he and his wife established The College Promise program—transforming generations of students and their families. Listen and be inspired by the life-changing results.

Ten years ago, a 3rd grade class at Michael Anderson made a college promise. Through a local school community partner, this now graduating class will be able to attend college with all expenses paid for. Learn how this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity changed the direction of this group of students.

In The Path to Free College: In Pursuit of Access, Equity, and Prosperity (Harvard Education Press, 2021), Michelle Miller-Adams argues that tuition-free college, if pursued strategically and in alignment with other sectors, can be a powerful agent of change. She makes the case that broadly accessible and affordable higher education is in the public interest, yielding dividends not just for individuals but also for the communities, states, and nation in which they reside. Miller-Adams offers a comprehensive analysis of the College Promise movement--its history, impacts, and unintended consequences--and its relationship to access, affordability, and workforce readiness.  These factors are explored through data, analysis, and case studies of existing place-based scholarship programs. She also examines historical precursors of the free-college movement and evaluates the possibility of national action. The Path to Free College outlines how the design of free-college programs should relate to programmatic goals and explores the suitability of different approaches. In addition, the book describes both the need for and the challenges of implementing a nationwide free-college program, as well as the variety of models and research-based evidence. Given the raging national debate about tuition-free college, the moment is right for a book that assesses state and local efforts and offers policy leaders and practitioners guidance going forward. The Path to Free College asserts that the promise of private and public gains warrants public investment in tuition-free college.

College Promise is a widespread college access movement in the United States, with more than 200 programs across the country. Although these programs help students access college by covering the cost of tuition and fees, they do not typically address barriers to student success. The Detroit Promise Path, administered by the Detroit Regional Chamber, is a program that allows high school graduates to attend local colleges tuition-free and provides evidence-based support strategies to students to help them stay in school and graduate. The program was developed by MDRC and the Detroit Regional Chamber, and MDRC is conducting an ongoing evaluation to understand the program’s impact on student success.
