Teaching at India's public universities no longer offers the certainty it once did. Permanent jobs have become scarce, while short term contracts have quietly filled the gap. Many teachers are now hired semester by semester, paid per lecture, and required to reapply for their jobs again and again. This shift has reshaped academic careers and changed how universities function day to day. What caused this shift? And what does it say about the future of higher education and university teaching as a career choice?Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

 Should the state decide what values college degrees are meant to promote? Indiana's new higher-education requirement asks public colleges to show that their programs advance “American values,” a move supporters say increases accountability and civic focus. Critics argue it threatens academic freedom and could politicize curriculum decisions across universities. (Source: IndyStar)

Episode 33: Lowery v. MillsLowery v. Mills, argued before Circuit Judges Jerry E. Smith, Dana M. Douglas, and Carolyn Dineen King in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on August 4, 2025. Argued by Institute for Free Speech Senior Attorney Del Kolde on behalf of Prof. Richard Lowery and Jeff Oldham on behalf of the University of Texas at Austin officials. Background of the case [from the Institute for Free Speech case page]: Prof. Richard Lowery, an Associate Professor of Finance at the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin (UT), said the officials at the state's flagship university violated his constitutional right to criticize government officials. With the help of the Institute for Free Speech, Prof. Lowery sued UT officials who threatened to punish him for his criticism of the university administration by threatening his job, reducing his pay, and ending his affiliation with UT's Salem Center.  One key target of Prof. Lowery's critiques was the UT administration's use of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements to filter out competent academics who dissent from the DEI ideology. He also opined during a podcast that part of the job of university presidents in red states is to deceive republicans into funding leftwing indoctrination on college campuses.  Statement of the issues [from the Plaintiff-Appellant's Opening Brief]: Have subsequent Supreme Court and Fifth Circuit decisions overruled or cabined to its facts the standard for public-employee First Amendment retaliation claims described in Breaux v. City of Garland, 205 F.3d 150 (5th Cir. 2000)?  Did Plaintiff state a viable claim for free-speech chilling under Jackson v. Wright, 82 F.4th 362 (5th Cir. 2023) and other cases?  Did Defendants' choice to repeatedly argue that the standard in Keenan v. Tejeda, 290 F.3d 252 (5th Cir. 2002) applied to Plaintiff's free speech chilling claim, and the district court's decision to accept this standard, render this standard binding under the law-of-the-case doctrine and judicial estoppel?  Did the district court err when it withheld various UT documents, reviewed by the magistrate judge in camera, under claims of attorney client privilege, including text messages sent by UT President Jay Hartzell shortly before the pressure campaign against Lowery began?  Did the district court err when it granted a protective order to block all discovery into allegations that President Hartzell engaged in nepotism by using state resources to benefit his son in admission to UT?Resources: Institute for Free Speech Case Page Plaintiff-Appellant's Opening Brief Brief of Appellees The Institute for Free Speech promotes and defends the political speech rights to freely speak, assemble, publish, and petition the government guaranteed by the First Amendment.

Ohio's regional public universities - including Cleveland State, and the Universities of Akron and Toledo - collectively serve more students than any single university in the state, including the state's flagship. Yet they're often overlooked in both local and national big-picture conversations about higher education, even though most Americans who do go to college attend an institution within 50 miles of their home.rnrnThese colleges are being forced to reinvent themselves--dealing with local workforce demands, adapting to shifting student needs, and, sometimes, fighting for survival. It all comes amid enrollment drops, changing demographics, and pressure at both the state/federal levels. So, what is working? What's not? And what would it mean for Ohio's communities if these universities close their doors?

The Role of Public Universities in the Fight Against Climate ChangePublic universities like UC Berkeley have played a major role in developing climate solutions, from innovation in labs to policy initiatives. In order to create positive change in the climate space, science requires funding, which universities can provide. Further, universities, of course, educate, train, and interact firsthand with people who, in the future, will work in the climate space, putting them in an essential position in terms of climate education. How UC Berkeley is Making a DifferenceUC Berkeley specifically has made several important contributions across all aspects of climate science, climate education, and climate solutions.  Some examples include Omar Yaghi's lab and its discovery of a potentially revolutionary approach to carbon capture with COF-999, as well as the EcoBlock project in Fruitvale, Oakland, where Berkeley is helping to retrofit “residential homes to improve resilience, sustainability, and quality of life for all community members.” Further, Berkeley has established over fifty undergraduate courses related to climate issues. These courses and initiatives largely attract students because younger generations have significant firsthand experiences with climate change, including wildfires, heat waves, flooding, and air pollution. Why Climate Action from Public Universities is More Important Now than Ever BeforeWith the current uncertainty of continued federal government funding and support, some climate work may face limitations. Nonetheless, university focus on climate change is increasingly necessary to ensure that future generations of citizens are fully informed and well able to participate in a climate change constrained future. As explained by Bruce Riordan, director of the Berkeley Climate Change Network, “these problems require multiple disciplines,” and Berkeley is well positioned across multiple fields of study, research, and action,  recognizing that climate change requires integration of business, policy, and research and beyond.  About Our GuestBruce Riordan is the Director of the Berkeley Climate Change Network, a collaboration of 300+ faculty and staff at UC Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley Climate National Laboratory working in the climate change space. The BCCN seeks to accelerate Berkeley's research, education and service to meet the urgency of the climate crisis by connecting researchers for interdisciplinary projects, helping to raise money for climate research, and building connections between Berkeley academics and off-campus climate leaders across industries.For a transcript, please visit: https://climatebreak.org/how-public-universities-are-helping-to-fight-climate-change-with-bruce-riordan/.

According to the Associated Press, a California lawmaker has introduced a bill to prioritize descendants of slaves in admissions at the University of California and California State University, two of the nation's largest public university systems. Assemblymember Isaac Bryan, a Los Angeles Democrat, said the measure aims to address historical and ongoing discrimination. “We have a moral responsibility to right these wrongs,” Bryan said. The proposal comes amid national debates over diversity initiatives following the Supreme Court's 2023 ruling against affirmative action. While legacy admissions remain, often benefiting wealthy, white applicants, critics argue this exacerbates inequalities. Bryan's legislation aligns with recommendations from California's Black reparations task force, though similar efforts have faced mixed results. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this podcast, host Dr. Drumm McNaughton welcomes guest James R. Johnsen, the former President of the University of Alaska System, who is now a Vice President of Executive Search for Greenwood Asher & Associates. Johnsen discusses his new book, "Public University Systems: Leveraging Scale in Higher Education," which examines the importance of and challenges facing public university systems across the U.S. What higher ed leaders will gain from this podcast: Understanding Public University Systems in Higher Education Governance A comprehensive overview of public university systems, their prevalence, importance, and the challenges they face. The different types of systems – homogenous and heterogeneous – and how they are structured, governed, and operated. This knowledge will be valuable for leaders in understanding the landscape of higher education in the context of their institutions. Leveraging Scale for Efficiency and Impact Public university systems have a unique ability to leverage their scale to achieve political, social, and economic goals. Benefits include consolidation and collaboration in areas such as procurement, research administration, payroll, legal counsel, and accreditation. Leaders can identify and implement strategies to maximize efficiency and impact through system-level initiatives. Navigating Political Dynamics in University Systems Political dynamics shape public university systems significantly, with roles for governors, legislators, and boards in forming higher education policy and funding. Understanding this landscape and developing strategies for effective advocacy is essential. Change Management and Leading Transformational Change Higher education systems face challenges in implementing change due to bureaucratic structures. Effective change management requires a clear vision, strong leadership, and a culture that embraces experimentation and continuous improvement. Prioritizing Student Success and Addressing State Needs Aligning higher education with student and state needs is crucial. Leaders can prioritize student success by streamlining processes, improving transferability, and focusing on outcomes that benefit both individuals and society, ensuring institutions contribute to the state's economic and social well-being. How Public University Systems Work (Or Don't) 75% of American college students attend institutions within higher education systems. These systems aim to govern and coordinate public higher education within a state, yet effectiveness varies depending on structure, governance, and alignment with state goals. Structure and Governance Models in Public University Systems Public university systems vary in structure, affecting their governance and impact. Systems can be homogenous, like the University of California system, where institutions share similar missions, or heterogeneous, like the State University of New York system, which encompasses diverse missions. Governance models differ, with some states having a single board and others multiple boards with distinct responsibilities. For example, Florida has a Board of Governors for the entire system, while each university has its own Board of Trustees. Alignment and Collaboration for Higher Education Goals A key factor in system effectiveness is the alignment between state government, the system, and individual institutions. The governor's vision should guide the system board, which then aligns institutional goals. Without clear alignment, systems risk fragmentation, duplicated efforts, and resource competition. Recommendations for Improving Public University Systems Clarify Higher Purpose and Goals for System-Wide Alignment Systems should articulate a higher purpose and align with the state's vision for higher education. This alignment enhances decision-making, resource allocation, and collaboration. Strengthen Leadership and Governance Skills System leaders need skills to navigate political landscapes, foster collaboration among institutions, and drive strategic change. Professional development focused on system leadership is essential. Streamline Processes and Foster Collaboration in Higher Education Systems Systems should streamline processes, reduce redundancy, and foster collaboration. Standardizing data collection, developing common course numbering for transferability, and creating shared service centers are effective strategies. Promote Data-Driven Decision Making in University Systems Effective governance relies on consistent, reliable data. Systems should invest in data infrastructure and analytics to support evidence-based decisions on resource allocation, program development, and student success. Cultivate a Culture of Innovation and Experimentation in Higher Education Encouraging a culture of innovation across institutions includes providing seed funding for pilot projects, enabling faculty collaboration, and celebrating successful innovations. By addressing these challenges and implementing these recommendations, public university systems can fulfill their mission of providing high-quality, accessible, and affordable education that meets the needs of students and the state. Three Key Takeaways for University Presidents and Boards These takeaways highlight the essential elements for effective leadership and governance within public university systems. Define a Higher Purpose Clarify the system's higher purpose. This purpose serves as a guiding principle for all decisions and actions, providing a shared understanding of the system's ultimate aim. It should transcend individual institutional interests and unite stakeholders around a common vision.  Align Goals and Plans Align state goals, state plans, system goals, system plans, and institutional goals and plans. This hierarchical alignment ensures that efforts at all levels are coordinated and contribute to the overall vision and purpose. This framework reinforces the importance of a cohesive system working towards shared objectives.  Develop Adaptive Leadership Develop adaptive leadership capabilities across the entire university, not just among those in leadership positions. Adaptive leadership involves fostering a culture where individuals at all levels are empowered to identify challenges, propose solutions, and adapt to changing circumstances.
