Changing Higher Ed

As short-term credentials gain traction, higher ed leaders face a critical question: Are these programs truly cost-effective and accessible—or just shorter? In this episode, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Jinann Bitar, Director of Higher Ed Research and Data Analytics at Education Trust, about the cost-efficiency, accessibility, and policy implications of short-term credential programs. They discuss new research on program affordability, disparities across states and industries, and the limited long-term earnings data available. Jinann shares what institutions need to consider before integrating short-term credentials into their academic portfolios and how leaders can ensure these programs support—not undermine—student success. Topics Covered: Are short-term credentials really affordable? How their costs compare to traditional academic programs State-level enrollment trends and policy drivers Gaps in ROI and earnings data Why stackable credentials matter How presidents and boards should approach academic restructuring Three Takeaways for College Leaders: Use data to guide program decisions Collaborate with external partners to align with labor market needs Design short-term programs that meet the expectations of today's learners This conversation is especially relevant for institutions exploring academic realignment, workforce partnerships, or strategic planning initiatives.

In today's episode, we're diving into the topic of “culture”–what it is, where it came from, and how recent thinking challenges our assumptions. One key idea we'll be looking at is that culture isn't a rigid, unchanging force pushing people apart but rather a dynamic interplay of multiple influences that can unite us if we learn how to forge a shared sense of belonging. By exploring this idea, we'll see how moving beyond the notion of “clashing cultures” can open up more productive and inclusive ways of working together.Reference:Rathje, S. (2011).

In this week's episode, we discuss changes in global health from Barcelona, as indicated by how much public coughing is taking place now. This segues into a discussion of cancer, mRNA, trade-offs, and complex systems. Then: what DOGE needs to understand about science, which is not inherently efficient. What are indirect costs on federal grants, why are they necessary, and why do they vary? And: how does having indirect costs create perverse incentives by university administrators to privilege scientists over non-scientists, and Big Science over (regular) science. Specifically, science in the West is failing because fast, expensive empirical science is nearly always favored over slow, cheap, and/or theoretical science. Universities get richer, and Big Scientists get promoted, but grad students don't learn how to be scientists, and we all lose out on having basic scientific questions answered, which will ultimately be our downfall.

In our interconnected world, it is easier than ever before to connect with people and ideas outside of our context. Young people are engaging with others online and sharing their thoughts and experiences on social media. In today's digitally mediated world, what are the lived civic experiences of young people? How can parents and educators encourage young people to learn and develop their civic identities? Dr Julianne Viola is a postdoctoral Research Associate at the Centre for Higher Education Research and Scholarship (CHERS) at Imperial College London. She completed her doctorate at the Department of Education, University of Oxford, where her research explored how adolescents develop their civic identities, and the role of social media and technology on youth civic identity. Julianne has a particular interest in young people's civic identity development and engagement with their communities. These interests, as well as her experience as an educator and mentor for young people through organisations like the Junior State of America, shaped and motivated her wok. Julianne has collaborated on a number of research projects at Harvard University, the University of California, Santa Barbara, Oxford Internet Institute, and The Education Hub, a not-for-profit organisation in New Zealand.

Melissa James is an alumna of the programme PhD in Higher Education: Research, Evaluation and Enhancement at Lancaster University, and a Director of the Undergraduate Programs of the Faculty of Business, University of Prince Edward Island. Her research explores how practitioners (or staff) of international student recruitment at higher education institutions perceive their institutional strategic plans. It examines their perceptions of strategic plans on their practice and how it shapes their work. It is an international comparison of three institutions - one in Hong Kong, one in the UK and one in Canada. This international comparison helps to understand similarities and differences in international student recruitment, and the study shows that institutional culture is critically important to understanding how strategic plans influence the practice of international student recruitment.

Using Callon's notion of performativity, she is investigating the extent to which students are cognizant of the market dynamics of English HE including the students as consumers narrative and how the national policies of value for money such as the TEF and LEO impact on their perceptions of value. Her study focuses on those who are first in their family to go to university as a distinctive student group with different expectations, motivations, and experiences to more traditional university students.

Madi Ruby is a doctoral researcher on the programme PhD in Higher Education: Research, Evaluation and Enhancement at Lancaster University. In this episode, Madi presents the notion of humanistic management and how it can be applied in higher education. Contemporary management at universities is most typically conceptualised in line with the new public management, or neoliberal managerialism. These are seen as causing increased bureaucratisation of work, ever-rising workload, and staff alienation. Madi presents why this should not be the only view, and how we can focus on human dignity in management practices. In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, universities are presented with an opportunity to consider humanistic management in how they navigate the challenges created for the higher education (and many other sectors) that the situation causes. Everything is changing, which provides an opportunity for leaders to reflect on how their structures impact on their academic and professional services staff, and opt for a more humanistic model of managing academic work. Madi can be contacted about humanistic management and her research at m.ruby@lancaster.ac.uk. Talking to her is Dr Janja Komljenovic from CHERE@LU.

Hola UYDers! Glad to be with you for another week. Today's episode is with my buddy Charles Davis. We met when I was hosting this NowThis News segment on Black Lives Matter (https://www.facebook.com/NowThisNews/videos/1113663612057095/). He stood out to me then and I knew I had to have him on the show. But before we dive into the topics of today's show, let me introduce you to him. Currently, Charles is the Director of Higher Education Research and Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania Center for the Study of Race & Equity in Education. As the director, he is primarily responsible for managing their portfolio of postsecondary services to include campus climate assessments, diversity trainings and workshops, executive education programs, equity institutes and other professional learning experiences for college faculty and administrators, and commissioned studies related to equity issues in higher education.

Presenting author: Dr Mariam Attia, Research Associate at Durham University, UK on behalf of the AHRC project team. With increased researcher mobility and wider access to information, academic institutions within the UK are experiencing internationalisation processes reflected – among other things – in the surging numbers of researchers conducing research in more than one language (Robinson-Pant, 2009). This presentation draws on two AHRC projects: Researching Multilingually (November 2011 – December 2012) and Researching Multilingually at the Borders of Language, the Body, Law, and the State (April 2014 – March 2017). It focuses on 44 reflective pieces by researchers involved with the AHRC-funded network, and attempts to look into a) the development of researcher awareness about the possibilities and complexities of doing research in more than one language, b) the nature of such possibilities and complexities, and c) implications for researcher development. Researchers are also encouraged to engage with the website which we continue to develop as a knowledge resource flowing from the AHRC-funded project: http://www.researching-multilingually-at-borders.com/ Reference: Robinson-Pant, A.
