What really happens when a nurse walks through a patient's front door instead of a hospital doorway? In this episode of Home Health Revealed, host Hannah Vale heads into the field with home health nurses in snowy Northeast Ohio and then sits down with leaders from Lorain County Community College and the Ohio Council for Home Care & Hospice to unpack what she witnessed firsthand. You'll hear from: Christopher Hirschler, Dean of the Health and Wellness Science Division at Lorain County Community College Lisa Von Lemden, Ohio Council for Home Care & Hospice Hannah DiVencenzo, Program Developer at Lorain County Community College Cynthia Kushner, Director of School, Workforce and Community partnerships Abigail Farabaugh, Career and Academic Advisement Professional Together, they share powerful stories from recent ride‑alongs: organizing overflowing baskets of medications, navigating homes transformed into care spaces, and supporting families through heartbreaking seasons with remarkable resilience. You'll also hear about those “oh no” moments—like expired blood tubes in the trunk—and how strong team backup turns solo visits into a true network of care. Listen in to learn: Why being invited into a patient's home is “sacred” work and how it reveals social determinants of health in real time, from housing quality to family support to mental health. How home health nurses flex between roles—clinician, educator, advocate, problem‑solver, even “therapist”—often in the same visit. What schedule flexibility, point‑based pay models, and documentation from home actually look like in a real nurse's day (including coffee breaks between visits). How AI and technology are changing preparation for visits, decision‑making, and mentorship for newer nurses entering home health.  Why home care can be a smart career move for nurses who want autonomy, meaningful one‑on‑one time with patients, and strong earning potential—without punching a time clock. The episode also highlights new workforce and education partnerships, including a $2 million Department of Higher Education investment into the Center for Community Based Care to grow and support the next generation of home health and hospice clinicians across Ohio. Lorain County Community College shares how it is exposing students to home health early—through ride‑alongs, pathways content, and mentorship—so they can discover if this deeply relational kind of nursing is the right fit. If you're: A nursing student wondering what's beyond the ICU or med‑surg, A nurse craving more control over your time and deeper patient relationships, or An educator or leader trying to build stronger home health pathways… …this episode will challenge your assumptions about what nursing “has” to look like and show you what's possible when care comes to the couch instead of the bedside.

Send us a textHigher education institutions operate in an environment where academic mission, financial sustainability, and long-term stakeholder relationships must coexist—placing unique demands on enterprise systems. Before reviewing our Top Higher Education CRM Systems in 2025, it is essential to clarify how CRM success is defined in this context, where engagement extends far beyond traditional recruitment or advancement functions. Universities must manage complex, multi-decade relationships with prospective students, current learners, alumni, donors, faculty, research partners, and governing bodies, often across decentralized colleges and departments. As a result, higher education CRMs must emphasize lifecycle visibility, data governance, cross-functional coordination, and compliance, rather than narrowly focusing on transactional interactions or short-term conversion metrics.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 10 Higher Education CRMs in 2025. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these Higher Education CRMs. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each CRM system.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suOIiIoZDFARead: https://www.elevatiq.com/post/top-non-profit-crms/Questions for Panelists?

A student's ridiculous claim of religious discrimination after flunking a mandatory psychology assignment in Oklahoma reveals the cynical conservative playbook: leveraging academic failure into highly profitable Christian victimhood, turning zeroes into thousands in donor cash. This fabricated outrage, aggressively championed by her conservative "stage mom" and state politicians, targets trans educators and undermines university standards across the nation. We break down how the modern culture war weaponizes religious identity, demonstrating that for the far right, fundamentalist belief is simply a lucrative political tool used only to attack perceived enemies. This brazen spectacle proves that performative hypocrisy is the new currency of the Christian nationalist movement.News Source:

From 'illegal DEI' to union activity to False Claims Act risks, the past year has been a flurry of activity and high-stakes changes for higher education institutions. It is critical for universities and colleges to strike a balance between compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws and upholding their mission statements and maintaining an inclusive culture for students and faculty alike.

We want to thank Free Press for making this material available and thank D'Souza for writing it. Thank you, Dinesh. We continue our discussion of Dinesh D'Souza's Illiberal Education: The Politics of Race and Sex on Campus (NY, NY: Free Press, 1991) starting up at page 5 through page 12 in his chapter 1 called "Victims Revolution on Campus." We do a fair use and a transformative reading of a book I encountered in high screwel at Chatfield High Screwel in Jefferson County, Littleton, Colorado in 1991. I wrote an article about it in my high screwel newspaper, the Chatfield Charter. This is a first in a series of TRP backstory episodes on The Republican Professor podcast. I believe I originally used my paper route money to buy the book myself at Summit Ministries in Summer 1991 in Manitou Springs, Colorado. Thanks to my Grandpa Mather for sending me those 4 years. The book is "Illiberal Education: The Politics of Race and Sex on Campus" (NY, New York: Free Press, 1991) by a very young Dinesh D'Souza. We want to encourage you to buy the book either used or new. Throw some money at the publisher for the book to reward them for publishing good books. Follow D'Souza on social media and check out his films as well as his books. Get the book and follow along. We want to thank Free Press for making this material available and thank D'Souza for writing it. Thank you, Dinesh.

In our final episode of Nurturing Financial Freedom for 2025, we take a deep dive into the rapidly evolving world of education and what that means for families planning ahead. College isn't what it used to be, and as we head into 2026, we unpack how demographic shifts, cost pressures, and emerging technologies like AI are reshaping higher education—and what families can do to stay ahead of the curve.Alex explains how college enrollment has been declining steadily since its peak in 2010. While part of that is due to lower birth rates post-2007, we focus on the bigger shift—young people increasingly turning toward trade careers, certifications, and alternative learning paths. Fields like HVAC, welding, and nursing are growing in demand, and students are seeking out stable, well-paying jobs that don't require a four-year degree.For those who do choose college, we're seeing a clear shift in preferred majors. STEM fields like engineering, computer science, and data science are growing, along with healthcare and business, while traditional liberal arts majors are shrinking. Rising costs are a huge part of the conversation, with many families questioning whether a $320,000 undergraduate degree truly delivers a return on investment. This economic pressure has pushed many toward more flexible paths like community college, online programs, or hybrid models that offer practical value without the high price tag.We also examine how universities themselves are evolving—sometimes in the wrong direction. From luxury dorms to reduced tenure-track faculty, schools are spending more to attract students but aren't always investing in what really matters: quality education. Alex shares a personal story from his alma mater, Washington University that perfectly illustrates this disconnect.Next, we turn to the financial side. Ed walks us through how 529 plans remain one of the best tools families can use, even in this uncertain educational landscape. These plans are far more flexible than many realize—they now cover trade schools, certifications, online degrees, and even some K–12 costs. Plus, any leftover funds can be rolled into a Roth IRA, offering tax-free growth and long-term retirement benefits for beneficiaries. The ability to change the plan's beneficiary and the favorable tax treatment make 529s an incredibly versatile, powerful savings option.Even if the future of education is less predictable, we agree the cost will still be significant. That's why saving early and often—while staying flexible—is more important than ever.

A Game Plan for Sports HealthSports have always played an important role in Hayden Lee's life. Now a Doctor of Pharmacy/MBA student at Cedarville University, Hayden's journey from high school athlete to aspiring sports pharmacist shows how passion and purpose can collide in powerful ways.Growing up, Hayden was all in — on the field, in the weight room, and in the classroom. His love for biology and fascination with how the body works fueled his curiosity. He noticed how athletes managed pain, sometimes relying heavily on medications like ibuprofen before games. But as he dove deeper into his studies, he discovered how pre-treating pain with NSAIDs could actually hinder recovery, muscle growth, and bone health. This insight lit a fire: What if athletes had pharmacists guiding their training and recovery?That question led Hayden to the emerging field of sports pharmacy, a dynamic intersection of athletic performance and pharmaceutical care. “We're stewards of our bodies,” he shared on the Cedarville Stories podcast, “and sports pharmacy helps us perform and heal in a way that honors that responsibility.”Hayden now serves as a student board member for the U.S. Sports Pharmacy Group, where he advocates for his peers, builds mentorship bridges, and helps shape the future of the profession. The field is growing fast — so fast that it may not be long before sports pharmacists are regulars on the sidelines with college and professional teams.With his faith as a guide and a playbook full of purpose, Hayden Lee is training for more than a career — he's on a mission to help athletes steward their health and shine both on and off the field.https://share.transistor.fm/s/00891df0https://youtu.be/m_tqgjpmFxA

For Dr. Dondi Costin, President of Liberty University,  God's direction led from a timid teenager afraid to speak in public, to a decorated military chaplain, to the presidency of one of the largest Christian universities in the world. His story is a powerful reminder that God's sovereignty weaves every season, assignment, and relationship into a calling far greater than we imagine. With humility and clarity, Dr. Costin reflects on leadership, obedience, identity, and the future of Christian higher education.

Dr. Stephanie Valentine (University of Nebraska–Lincoln) joins Sharona and Boz to tell the origin story behind TeachFront—a grading-and-feedback platform she and her students built after getting buried in spreadsheets trying to make standards-based / ungrading-style systems work at scale.They dig into what shifted when grades stopped being “points to litigate” and became feedback for growth, what went wrong (and what finally worked) in those early semesters, and why most LMS gradebooks still force instructors to “hack” systems designed for averages.

Plenty, according to a new survey of admission officials at business schools. We discuss and debate the findings.

Changes to student loan programs and the so-called demographic cliff are set to impact Virginia college's enrollment numbers, according to members of the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. Brad Kutner explains.

In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Dr. Ashley Finley, Vice President of Research and Senior Advisor to the President at the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), about the findings of the 2025 AAC&U Employer Survey and what they reveal about employer expectations for higher education. Based on nearly 20 years of longitudinal research, the 2025 survey challenges many of the dominant public narratives about the value of college. Employers continue to express strong confidence in higher education, place equal importance on workforce preparation and citizenship, and increasingly emphasize adaptability, judgment, and civic capacity as core professional requirements. Dr. Finley explains how employers view civic skills as workplace competencies, why mindsets and dispositions are now baseline expectations rather than "soft skills," and how AI is reshaping what it means to be prepared for an uncertain future. The conversation also addresses generational differences among employers, the growing role of microcredentials, and why institutions must model the agility they expect from graduates. This episode is especially relevant for presidents, trustees, provosts, and senior leaders navigating political pressure, workforce alignment, and questions about institutional value. Topics Covered: What the 2025 AAC&U Employer Survey reveals that public narratives often miss Why employers see preparing informed citizens and a skilled workforce as inseparable goals How civic skills, including constructive disagreement, translate directly to workplace success Why motivation, resilience, initiative, and self-awareness are now baseline hiring expectations How employers think about AI readiness beyond simple tool proficiency Which student experiences increase hiring likelihood beyond internships How employers evaluate the credibility and value of microcredentials and certificates Generational shifts in employer expectations and what they signal for the future Three Takeaways for University Presidents and Boards: Institutions must communicate learning outcomes more clearly, including mindsets and dispositions, so students can articulate who they are becoming, not just what they know. Career-relevant experiences extend far beyond internships; leadership roles, campus employment, and community engagement carry significant employer value and are often more scalable. Agility must be modeled institutionally. Employers value adaptability, and colleges and universities cannot promote it in students while resisting change themselves. Bonus Takeaway from Dr. McNaughton: Employers continue to value higher education and the four-year degree, despite political rhetoric and cost-driven narratives suggesting otherwise. This disconnect presents both a risk and an opportunity for institutional leaders. This conversation offers data-grounded insight into how employers actually view higher education—and what leaders can do to align strategy, communication, and culture with those expectations.

A Discussion with a Special Guest

We end this season where we started — a conversation about higher education and democracy. This time, Michael Berkman, McCourtney Institute for Democracy director and professor of political science at Penn State, sits down with Brad Vivian, professor of communication arts and sciences at Penn State and author of Campus Misinformation: The Real Threat to Free Speech in American Higher Education. Berkman and Vivian discuss the Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education, a proposal issued to several universities by the Trump administration earlier this fall. The compact offers benefits like increased access to federal grants and contracts and priority handling of student visas in exchange for changes in admission practices, a commitment to institutional neutrality, and other demands. Vivan outlines how the compact goes against many of the core values in higher education and what make universities an essential part of American democracy. Beyond the compact, Berkman and Vivian also talk about how education might be a contributing factor in America's growing political divide and how university faculty and leadership should think about this divide.This is our final episode of the year. We will be back with new episodes in January. From our entire team, happy holidays and we'll see you in 2026!Mentioned in this episode:Why I'm Excited About the White House's Proposal for a Higher Ed Compact - Danielle AllenPolarized by Degrees: How the Diploma Divide and the Culture War Transformed American Politics - Matt Grossmann and David A.

Professor M. Jagadesh Kumar, former UGC Chairperson, in conversation with ThePrint's Fareeha Iftikhar, explains the Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan Bill 2025 introduced in Parliament. He details how the bill will unify regulators, create separate councils for accreditation and standards, enhance transparency through a digital dashboard, and ensure institutions' autonomy and self-governance are protected while promoting accountability and quality in higher education.

Keith Whittington is joined by Genevieve Lakier, professor of law and Herbert and Marjorie Fried Teaching Scholar at the University of Chicago. They discuss the Trump Administration's approach to higher education reform, particularly its recent Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education, a proposal that would grant access to federal funds in exchange for agreeing to certain demands. Lakier recently wrote a blog post on the Compact as it relates to the unconstitutional conditions doctrine. Whittington also published a recent op-ed in The Dispatch on problems with the Compact and signed a joint statement on the matter with other professors.

Welcome back to Bear With Me, a new interviews show on politics from the Brown Daily Herald newsroom. I'm your host, Evan Tao.Elite universities like Brown have been one of the main targets of the Trump administration's efforts to reshape American civil society. Brown is no exception. In September, the federal government proposed a compact with Brown and eight other schools which it deemed “good actors.” In response, some students formed an organization called Brown Rise Up, organizing demonstrations involving undergraduates, graduates, alumni and faculty, urging Brown to reject the compact, which it did by October. From up on College Hill, so much of the chaos in the news can feel theoretical and distant. But this is immediate and directly affects our school. How we respond matters. This week, I invited Raya Gupta ‘29 and Levi Kim ‘29, two first-year students and spokespeople for Brown Rise Up, onto the show to discuss what happened and what might come next.Host: Evan TaoEditing: Evan Tao, Anisha KumarBackground music: Eitan Frank
