Higher education is under mounting pressure to prove its value. But the data institutions need to respond already exists — most are just not using it strategically. In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Melba Amissi, Chief Customer and Operations Officer at the National Student Clearinghouse, about how the Clearinghouse's cross-institutional data can help college presidents and boards navigate the accountability, affordability, and workforce alignment challenges reshaping higher education. Drawing on a career in financial services, fraud analytics, cybersecurity, and operational transformation, Amissi brings an outsider's perspective to higher ed — one grounded in measurable outcomes and data-driven decision-making. She and Dr. McNaughton explore why institutions must embrace non-linear student pathways, improve credit mobility, strengthen employer partnerships, and lead with transparency to maintain public trust and institutional viability. This conversation is especially relevant for institutional leaders grappling with how to demonstrate return on investment, serve the growing stop-out population, and align programs with workforce needs in a rapidly shifting political and economic landscape. Topics Covered: The National Student Clearinghouse's role beyond compliance reporting — as a strategic benchmarking and analytics resource Why 42 million adults with some college and no credential represent both a challenge and an opportunity How credit mobility and articulation agreements affect enrollment competitiveness The Workforce Pell negotiated rulemaking process and its implications for program design Why workforce alignment should be an "and," not an "or" alongside liberal education How the FAFSA will now warn students about institutions with poor earnings-to-cost outcomes The rising Higher Education Price Index and its compounding effect on institutional costs Real-World Examples Discussed: Franklin University's articulation agreements with over 1,400 institutions, enabling five-minute credit evaluations for transfer students Paul Quinn College's work-integrated model partnering students with Southwest Airlines and other employers Tennessee's statewide talent pipeline that maps graduate competencies directly to employer needs Microsoft's partnership with Miami-Dade College community colleges to build cybersecurity workforce programs Oregon's systemwide credit transfer framework as a model for state-level interoperability Three Key Takeaways for Leadership: Transparency is a survival strategy — proactively share graduation rates, employment outcomes, and student debt data to build trust and stay ahead of regulatory mandates. Align programs with workforce needs through employer partnerships, stackable credentials, and continuous program assessment to demonstrate measurable ROI. Demonstrate real impact — show students, families, and stakeholders the tangible outcomes of your institutional strategies. Bonus Takeaway from Dr. McNaughton: Embrace diverse and non-linear student pathways. The traditional four-year linear journey is no longer the norm — institutions must design systems that serve students from all walks of life and keep the focus on student outcomes. This episode offers a data-grounded look at why higher education's most urgent challenges — cost, accountability, and public trust — require leaders who are willing to use the information already at their disposal to drive strategic change.

Most people imagine schizophrenia beginning with dramatic hallucinations or sudden breaks from reality—but the truth is far more subtle, far more complicated, and far easier to miss. In this special featured episode from Inside Schizophrenia, host Rachel Star Withers, who lives openly with schizophrenia, joins co-host Gabe Howard to unpack the quiet red flags that often go unnoticed for months—or even years. You'll hear how early symptoms differ across children, teens, and adults, why up to 80% of people with schizophrenia don't realize they're experiencing warning signs, and how everyday stressors can mask the earliest hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner Carlos Larrauri, who also lives with schizophrenia, joins the conversation to explain what current research is uncovering about prodromal stages and early detection efforts. Listener Takeaways Why early schizophrenia symptoms are so subtle that most people overlook them Key differences in warning signs across children, teens, and adults Why families often miss early red flags—and why that's understandable What researchers are doing to identify schizophrenia sooner From shadow people to slipping grades, from forgotten appointments to unexplained sensory sensitivity, this episode pulls back the curtain on the earliest—and most misunderstood—phase of schizophrenia. Whether you're a parent, partner, friend, clinician, or simply curious, this episode offers the clarity, compassion, and insight needed to recognize when something deeper may be happening long before a crisis appears. Our guest, Carlos A. Larrauri, MSN, is co-chair of the Accelerating Medicines Partnership® Schizophrenia (AMP® SCZ) and has formerly served on the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and NAMI Miami-Dade County Board of Directors. Diagnosed with schizophrenia at 23 years old, access to quality mental health care, community-based treatment, and early intervention afforded him the best opportunity for recovery. Mr. Larrauri is pursuing a law degree at the University of Michigan Law School and a concurrent master in public administration at the Harvard Kennedy School, where he was Zuckerman Fellow at Harvard's Center for Public Leadership. He's board certified as a family nurse practitioner and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and formerly lectured at the University of Miami and Miami Dade College. Mr. Larrauri aspires to interface advocacy and research to reduce health inequities for people living with mental illness. To learn more about Carlos and his work, visit his website or his LinkedIn. Our guest host, Rachel Star Withers, creates videos documenting her schizophrenia, ways to manage, and let others like her know they're not alone and can still live an amazing life. She has written “Lil Broken Star: Understanding Schizophrenia for Kids” and a tool for schizophrenics, “To See in the Dark: Hallucination and Delusion Journal.” Learn more at RachelStarLive.com.

Este 4 de septiembre el secretario de Salud estadounidense Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fue blanco de críticas y gritos durante su audición ante el Comité de Finanzas del Senado, donde intentó defender sus polémicas reformas en materia de salud pública. La víspera, las autoridades de Florida anunciaron su intención de acabar con la vacunación obligatoria en las escuelas del estado, generando inquietudes en el gremio médico. "¿Quién soy yo para decirle qué poner en el cuerpo de sus hijos?": así anunció Joseph Ladapo, la mayor autoridad de Salud en Florida, que se preparaba a poner fin a la obligación de vacunarse para los alumnos de las escuelas públicas. Una decisión que preocupa en el sector salud. La Dra. Dadilia Garcés, médico epidemióloga y profesora del Miami Dade College, lamenta que este anuncio llegue “en un momento en que la tasa de vacunación en el estado se encuentra en declive” y cuando existe “el riesgo de que se presenten enfermedades que son prevenibles por vacunas”. “Precedente de desconfianza” “Las vacunas que son obligatorias para los niños son las enfermedades que tienden a ser más comunes en niños. Muchas se transmiten por contacto, se transmiten por las gotas de saliva o por la respiración. Y cuando nos encontramos en las escuelas, estamos muy juntos unos a otros, y esto brinda el ambiente perfecto para la transmisión”, detalla Garcés. La doctora explica además que, en Florida, la desconfianza en las vacunas ha aumentado drásticamente. Algo que ha sido observado también en la comunidad latina. “Hay una falsa percepción, sobre todo en la comunidad migrante, de que por medio de las vacunas se puede ejercer algún control migratorio de las personas”, cuenta. Refiriéndose a los casos de esterilización forzada contra la comunidad latino en California hasta los años 70, Garcés subraya que este tipo de cosas ha creado “un precedente de desconfianza hacia lo que viene de los gobiernos. Cuando salió la vacuna del Covid-19 yo hacía campaña en estas comunidades y muchas personas me decían que no querían quedar estériles, por ejemplo”. “Se vienen tiempos difíciles” La administración Trump y en especial el secretario de Salud están bajo críticas por su intento de remplazar a los directivos de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades con perfiles leales al Gobierno y más hostiles a la vacunación. Y aunque profesionales de la salud han reclamado la renuncia de Robert Kennedy Jr., no todos en Florida rechazan sus propuestas. “Inclusive personas que trabajan en los medios de salud empezaron una campaña directa o indirecta contra las vacunas, algo que lamentablemente ocurrió con el Covid. Las medidas de salud pública empezaron a teñirse de política, así que se vienen tiempos difíciles en la salud pública. No solo para el estado de Florida, sino también para Estados Unidos”, concluye la doctora.

La Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos limitó el poder de los tribunales inferiores para desafiar las órdenes presidenciales. Una decisión celebrada como una gran victoria por Donald Trump. El fallo es el resultado de una demanda contra la orden ejecutiva que firmó el mandatario que elimina el derecho de suelo para los hijos de personas migrantes en situación irregular. La eliminación del derecho de suelo decidida por Donald Trump choca con la Enmienda 14 de la Constitución estadounidense, que textualmente garantiza la ciudadanía "a todas las personas nacidas en Estados Unidos". Si bien el Supremo no se pronunció sobre la constitucionalidad de esta orden ejecutiva en sí, lo que sí dijo es que los jueces de distrito no pueden bloquear su entrada en vigor a nivel nacional mientras se dirime la legalidad de la orden. En ese sentido, los jueces solo deben poder amparar a los demandantes de cada caso en particular. En la práctica, se levanta el veto a esta decisión presidencial, mientras la Corte Suprema determine a partir de octubre si es o no constitucional. La sentencia fue aprobada con los 6 votos de los magistrados conservadores contra 3 de los liberales. El texto fue redactado por la conservadora Amy Coney Barret, quien aseguró que los magistrados "están garantizando que el presidente tenga la libertad de hacer lo que los votantes eligieron". Mientras, en su voto discrepante, la jueza liberal Ketanji Brown Jackson denunció una amenaza existencial al Estado de derecho.

In this 7th annual end-of-year episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton becomes the guest of our podcast as we welcome this year's guest host, Tom Netting, of TEN Government Strategies, to review McNaughton's higher ed predictions for 2024 and explore his higher education 2025 predictions. The discussion reveals how higher education fared over the polarizing election year and what to expect in the coming year. Review of 2024 Higher Ed Predictions and Outcomes Political Environment and Higher Education: Grade A The prediction about increased political involvement in higher education proved remarkably accurate in 2024, particularly given the election year dynamics. The sector experienced unprecedented political scrutiny, culminating in the October 7th congressional hearings that led to the departure of three university presidents. State-level political intervention was particularly evident in Florida, where more than a fifth of University of Florida professors failed post-tenure review under new requirements. A Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) survey of 6,000 faculty members across 55 colleges revealed that one in seven faculty members reported being disciplined or threatened with discipline due to their teaching, research, academic discussions, or off-campus speech. The election year amplified these tensions, with higher education becoming a focal point in political debates. 2024 Enrollment Challenges and Demographics: Grade A The prediction regarding enrollment challenges proved accurate, with institutions facing significant pressures: FAFSA rollout complications created unexpected enrollment barriers Regional institutions and private colleges were particularly affected Institutions under 1,000 students faced the greatest vulnerability Demographic realities showed concerning trends: from 3.4 million students in 2010 to 3.9 million by 2025, with a projected drop back to 3.4 million over the next 15 years. Institutional Closures and Market Consolidation: Grade A The closure rate accelerated dramatically, rising from 50 closures in 2022 to 80 in 2023. In 2024, 16 nonprofits closed, with Christian colleges representing half of these closures. The impact extended beyond campuses - Wells College's closure in Aurora affected the town's elementary school, water treatment plant, and community medical center. Academic realignment became crucial, exemplified by West Virginia University's cuts of 143 faculty positions and 28 programs and PASSHE's consolidation of six universities into two regional entities. As predicted, smaller private institutions became prime targets for acquisition: Institutions under 1,000 enrollment faced greatest pressure Those without strong endowments particularly vulnerable Early movers in seeking partnerships fared better than those waiting until financial crisis Market showing clear signs of mature-to-declining industry characteristics Technology and Artificial Intelligence Adoption: Grade A- The sector showed a clear divide in AI adoption approaches: Miami Dade College and Kogod Business School fully integrated AI across curricula Other institutions maintained strict opposition to AI-generated content Faculty concerns about AI replacing jobs emerged at institutions like University of Wisconsin Progressive institutions recognized AI's potential in enrollment management, student outcomes measurement, and program assessment Student Needs and Pandemic Recovery: A- Post-pandemic adaptation revealed mixed results: Successful intense tutoring programs demonstrated three to four months of focused support could gain students a year in academic progress Faculty resistance to changing traditional teaching methods remained stronger than anticipated Growing sense of student and faculty disengagement emerged Increased burden on faculty as informal student counselors Shift toward more transactional educational relationships Higher Education 2025 Predictions Legislative and Regulatory Environment Higher Education Act Reform Partial reform through budget reconciliation rather than comprehensive overhaul Implementation of short-term Pell Grants with bipartisan support Department of Education reorganization likely but not dissolution Enhanced focus on workforce development while maintaining liberal arts values Regulatory Changes Significant modifications to existing regulations under new administration Major changes to accreditation oversight through legislation Evolution of NACIQI's role and authority Enhanced institutional accountability measures Challenges to regulatory authority through cases like Loper Bright Market Evolution and Institutional Viability Enrollment and Demographics One-time enrollment increase in early 2025 due to FAFSA resolution Subsequent decline as demographic cliff impacts materialize Uncertainty in international student enrollment due to immigration policies Critical need for innovative recruitment strategies Expansion of direct admission programs Institutional Sustainability Accelerated pace of closures and mergers Increased pressure on institutions under 1,000 enrollment Four strategic options: acquire, sell, consolidate, or close Enhanced focus on mission-critical programs Need for proactive partnership exploration while financially viable Academic and Administrative Transformation Campus Climate and Governance Continued pressure on DEI initiatives with more institutions modifying policies Persistent free speech challenges requiring balanced approaches Enhanced board engagement beyond traditional meeting schedules Evolution of shared governance models Balance between oversight and operational support Technology Integration Required AI adoption across operations Integration of AI into teaching and administrative functions Need for systematic faculty development in technology Balance between innovation and academic integrity Enhanced focus on critical thinking in AI use Financial Sustainability Limited progress on broad student debt forgiveness Focus on program cost-benefit analysis Innovation in financial aid delivery Growing emphasis on affordability initiatives Enhanced scrutiny of return on investment Strategic Imperatives for Leadership Proactive Planning and Adaptation Institutions must: Develop comprehensive contingency plans for enrollment fluctuations Create distinctive value propositions Implement effective academic realignment strategies Balance workforce needs with educational mission Consider strategic partnerships before financial pressure becomes acute Governance and Leadership Evolution Boards must: Increase engagement frequency Maintain appropriate oversight without micromanagement Consider institutional sustainability options proactively Support presidents in navigating complex challenges Ensure alignment between mission and market realities Focus on student success and community impact Wrapping Up McNaughton's 2025 Higher Ed Predictions The higher education landscape stands at a critical juncture where decisions made in 2025 will determine institutional trajectories for years to come. Success requires balancing traditional academic values with market realities while maintaining focus on student success and institutional sustainability. The sector must embrace transformation while preserving core educational missions, requiring unprecedented levels of strategic thinking and proactive leadership. The demographic cliff, political challenges, technological change, and market evolution demand a new approach to higher education leadership. Institutions that survive and thrive will be those that can adapt to changing conditions while preserving their essential character and mission. The time for proactive strategic planning and decisive action is now, before external pressures force reactive responses.

Ep.222 José Parlá (b.1973) creates paintings and multidisciplinary works based on his interest in hybrid forms of abstraction. He draws inspiration from various mediums including music, calligraphy, dance, and the decay of urban architecture and advertisements. His works poetically challenge ideas about language, politics, identity, and how we define places and spaces. Parlá's relationship with mark-making is physical and textural, incorporating the body's gestures into a painterly stream of consciousness composed of areas of addition, erasure, and layering that challenge the status quo of visual culture. Parlá was born to Cuban parents in Miami, Florida, and lives and works out of Brooklyn, New York. He studied painting at Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) in Savannah, Georgia; the New World School of the Arts, Miami, Florida; and Miami Dade College, Miami, Florida.

Public arts projects include permanent large-scale commissions including Far Rockaway Writer's Library, a collaboration between Snøhetta and Parlá, New York (2023); University of Texas, Austin (2018); ONE World Trade Center, New York (2015); A collaboration with Snøhetta, Hunt Library at North Carolina State University, Raleigh (2013); Barclays Center, New York (2012); Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), New York (2012); Concord City Place, Toronto (2010).

American endurance swimmer Diana Nyad faced down box jellyfish, cold and extreme fatigue to become the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage for protection, in 2013. She was 64 and had always been drawn by intense, seemingly unachievable feats of marathon swimming. It was after shooting to fame for swimming round the island of Manhattan in the 1970s that Diana first seized on an idea that had been planted in her head in childhood: she would swim the 112 miles from Cuba to Florida's Key West. Five attempts and more than thirty years later, she finally succeeded, wobbling unsteadily up the beach after nearly 53 hours in the water to tell a cheering crowd, "never, ever give up... you are never too old to chase your dreams." Archive from Diana's swimming and broadcasting careers appears courtesy of: Florida Keys TV; The Wolfson Archives, Miami Dade College; PBS; FOX Sports; ABC; Courage to Succeed (1977).

Tom welcomes a new guest to the show, Mike McGlone, Senior Commodity Strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence. Mike discusses the key indicators signaling an upcoming recession such as tight liquidity which points to a hard landing. The stock market is also at an all-time high relative to GDP since 1936, a sign of a possible recession. Additionally, Europe is in recession, and China is facing declining growth. This recession is a result of a combination of human nature and external factors, such as the autocratic leadership in China and the overbuilding crisis. Mike cautions against speculation surrounding potential escalations with Taiwan or Russia, but notes that the leadership in China may look to place blame for the country's woes outside itself. Mike also discusses the tensions in the South China Sea and the role of the US dollar and US power. He believes that the dollar is seen as a reliable partner in the international community due to its security and willingness to do business. In contrast, the Russian and Chinese models do not involve the US dollar, which could lead to a global economic reset. The push for electric vehicles onto Europe by China is seen as a deflationary force due to the advancement of technology. Mike is optimistic about the strength of the US dollar and resists the idea of a global depression, instead stating that deflationary forces are kicking in. He expects the Fed to not hike rates in November and cautions that the market may be overvalued given the current economic situation. Ultimately, he advises investors to focus on the returns offered from US Treasuries and limit exposure to high-risk assets. In terms of commodities, Mike discusses the surge in US surplus of liquid fuel and crude oil, making OPEC less significant. Gold is the best performing industrial metal and is expected to perform well during the recession. Mike expects the stock market to drop significantly with both the S&P and gold meeting at 3000. He cautions traders to define their risk, protect their stops, and accept when they're wrong, in order to be successful. In conclusion, Mike emphasizes the importance of objective analysis and avoiding confirmation bias in trading and investing. He also mentions his commitment to helping Miami Dade College students understand trading.
