Live from Fire Island, comedian and illustrator Max Wittert joins us (admittedly a TOUCH stoned) to talk about avant garde comedy and why it's hard to find a scene when you're an illustrator. But first, we dive into the controversial decision by all-girls school Sweet Briar College to ban trans women at the behest of some old coot's will from 1900. And finally, Eliot wants to know why dark shows like Road Wars are so appealing...but it mostly devolves into us lambasting him for being a road rager! Learn more about your ad choices.

Naomi Wolf joins me to discuss the 2024 election season and all the strangeness. She predicts that the election won't take place; that an event of some sort will cause it to be suspended. This will ultimately usher in a communist dictatorship led by the democrats. She claims that in reality the coup has already taken place and she elaborates on why she believes this. It is true that we are dealing with people who are irrational and power hungry. A combination that could ultimately lead to disasters of unimagineable proportions.

A court in the Philippines has banned the commercial growth of golden rice, a genetically modified rice which was created to help tackle vitamin A deficiency in developing countries. It's just the latest twist in a long and controversial journey for this rice. Ian Sample hears from the Observer science and environment editor, Robin McKie, and from Glenn Stone, a research professor of environmental science at Sweet Briar College in Virginia who is also an anthropologist who has studied golden rice, about why it has taken so long for this potentially life-saving technology to reach the fields, if it is the silver bullet so many had hoped for, and whether this ban is really the end of the story.

When Meredith Woo took over as the president of Sweet Briar College in 2017, the nonprofit Virginia women's institution was seen as a troubled place. Alumnae had wrestled the college back from the brink of closure, but it still faced financial issues, resulting in a warning from its accreditor. Understanding that there is no playbook for how to bring back a college from the brink of closure, Woo and her leadership team set out to create their own playbook. By leveraging Sweet Briar's historic missional strengths as a liberal arts women's college with a breathtakingly beautiful campus in Virginia, and with the extraordinary support of alumni and friends around the globe, the College has been revived and the recent projections for long-term viability are positive. During our conversation, Woo reflects on the experience of taking over a college in a catastrophic state. She shares her insights about finding opportunities for growth and innovation, what works, and why change always takes longer than you think it will. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chelip/message

We started our conversation with Dr. Norrine Russell with a plan in mind. We wanted to talk with her about the systems and processes she uses with her clients at Russell Coaching to support frustrated kids and families living with ADHD. She told us she'd be fine with that, but then said, "can I tell you what's on my mind?"What was on her mind is something on our minds, too. In our search for process perfection, we risk putting up walls for communication those we're trying to support. We're great at systems, too, but time and project management comes with a cost: we risk losing compassion and empathy, hardening ourselves to the things that give us the joy and support to move on. Thinking Fast and SlowIt's easy, living with ADHD, to imagine that thinking fast is the solution to distraction. If you think fast, after all, you might just finish a project before you're distracted by something else. Thinking slowly, on the other hand, gives your mind and body the time and space required to integrate new views, concepts, and experiences. The act of thinking about thinking is metacognition, and Dr. Russell gives us a series of terrific examples this week as we think through our experience overcoming stress and anxiety in the process of living with ADHD. And while we're at it, check out this story on CBS Sunday Morning, 'Helping Students Cope with the Pressure to Succeed' on our highest achievers and their ability to manufacture stress and anxiety to a damaging point.About Dr. Norrine RussellDr. Norrine Russell began Russell Coaching in 2009. Her passion for providing support to frustrated students and weary parents is fueled by her own experience of raising two complex children who are both neurologically atypical (her children's diagnoses include autism, mood disorders, ADHD, giftedness, and learning differences). Dr. Russell knows firsthand the exhaustion parents face as they day in and day out seek solutions for their out-of-the-box children. She is committed to supporting the psychological well-being, education, and family life of all her clients.Dr. Russell has a Ph.D. from Bowling Green State University with a focus on psychology and education. She consults with and trains at both public and private schools across the Tampa Bay area. She has taught psychology and education courses at Sweet Briar College, University of Minnesota-Morris, and a number of other colleges.

Cady Thomas grew up in Edenton North Carolina for 17 years. She was the only child, grew up with a lot of friends and had the quintessential town life. Her family was involved in politics but she was always interested in policy than politics. Her inclination to policy led her to pick Political Science at Sweet Briar College. Cady liked learning International government classes but the real eye opening class in Cady's life was when she was given 4 different country constitutions and was asked to pick a country to live in. What sparked Cady's interest in the political side of policy rather than the legal side of the policy in that specific class? Cady then started her career at the Capitol Hill, worked at the North Carolina Association of Realtors as the Director of Regulatory Affairs and eventually as a Partner at Focus Public Affairs. Let's listen into Cady Thomas' personal story.
Chloe Kerschl was born and raised in Lexington, Virginia and was soon introduced to her first pony by her horse-loving mother. She has always had a love for horses which is why after a couple years of doing only ballet, she finally returned to the barn. She began riding again at her godmothers therapeutic riding center which sparked an even deeper love for horses. After the countless hours she has put in and out the saddle (and many a moments on the ground), from pony club to barn help to IEA, she has now found herself as co-team captain and open rider for Sweet Briar College's IHSA team as well as a budding future equestrian professional.

Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Dr. Meredith Woo, president of Sweet Briar College, about the Sweet Briar Miracle, the college’s transformation using change management principles. Podcast Highlights Sweet Briar College faced a major uphill climb after alumnae successfully pushed back the board of trustees’ decision to close the institution. The college had to find ways to address and change perceived challenges, including declining interest in a liberal arts education, waning enrollment by women in women’s colleges, and the institution’s location in a rural Virginia setting. The college’s leaders started their change initiative with major overhauls of the academic program, financial decision-making and budget. The second phase of this initiative involves creating a strong focus on women’s leadership that is integrated into the liberal arts curriculum and sustainability. The college grew enrollment by 42% after announcing the changes, and continues its growth to this day.

Scholars, historic interpreters, and descendants of enslaved people recently gathered at Montpelier, the home of James Madison. They were there to create a rubric for historic sites who want to engage descendant communities in their work. Anthropologist Michael Blakey discusses why historical sites must consider the needs and wishes of descendants. And: Historian Hasan Kwame Jeffries says we need to do more to teach our kids about African American history, even when it covers tough subjects.

And: Crystal Rosson is the great-granddaughter of Sterling Jones Sr., who was enslaved at the former Sweet Briar Plantation, now Sweet Briar College. Rosson shares her family’s history and explains why research by African American genealogists matters as they discover more about the integral role of African Americans in Virginia's history.

Zach and God sat down with special guest Taneal Williams to reflect on the courageous efforts of the Black Lives Matter Movement, the beauty of black culture, and how we can each do our part in the battle for racial equality. Taneal Williams (actor and arts manager)) is freaking out because she’s on her first podcast! She’s been in plays, musicals, and opera choruses. Her favorite credits, because she felt appreciated and seen as an artist of color, include Three Sisters, Night Witches, and The Learned Ladies. She has a BFA in Theatre from Stephens College. She also studied at Sweet Briar College, with the National Theatre Institute, and The Moscow Art Theatre Studio School in Moscow, Russia. As an arts manager, she’s worked for Opera on the James and the National World War II Museum’s Entertainment Department. She’s excited to see where the arts take her next.
While most immigrants to the United States seek better lives than what they had, author Anna Chao Pai's parents came seeking safety from the Japanese; they left a life of luxury and power to become ordinary American citizens. Anna was born in Beijing, China and immigrated to America in 1940. Fleeing the Japanese, her family went from being important, high-ranking officials and warlords, to refugees of war and ultimately suburban life in America. Her mother was not able to assimilate to American culture - going from a Manchurian Princess to suburban mom was not easy. Anna went on to earn a bachelor's degree in zoology from Sweet Briar College, a master's degree in embryology from Bryn Mawr College, and a Ph.D. degree in genetics from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She taught at Montclair State University in New Jersey for 28 years and retired as Professor Emerita. She's the author of a new book entitled, From Manchurian Princess to the American Dream: An Anecdotal Memoir of Two Immigrant Lives. Visit www.frommanchurianprincesstotheamericandream.com.

In this bonus episode, producer Caperton Morton ’85 introduces assistant professor of music Joshua Harris. He explains how the infusion of technology and sound design into Sweet Briar’s music program has influenced students’ experiences with music and “sound art.” This direction took Josh and the students in his “Sound on Screen” course to the Sundance Film Festival, which highly impacted Brianna (or “B”) Wray ’21. She shares highlights from her experience that support the reason for providing such off-campus experiences. Josh also gives a tour of the Sound Art Production and Analysis (SarPA) Studio and explains how the unfettered use for this music studio frees student imaginations as they experiment. This direction of the music program has opened up new courses of study in music production and sound design and expands the opportunities for careers to explore.Sweet Briar College is a women’s liberal arts college located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains in central Virginia.

This year’s “Ten with Ken” Holiday Special starts with part 1: Midwinter Magic! In last year’s higher ed holiday videos, campus marketers were clearly anxious about doing a good job, such as at the Bryan School of Business & Economics at the University of North Carolina Greensboro, Upper Iowa University, Chambers College of Business & Economics at West Virginia University, and Newcastle & Stafford College Group. Some campus leaders invite lots of input, such as at the Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism at the University of Southern California. But president Ryan of the University of Virginia took matters into his own hands, in the best-in-class “presidential message” video. As always, hundreds of videos were just animated greeting cards, but some stood out from UBC Okanagan, Otis College of Art & Design in Los Angeles, and the Mellon College of Science at Carnegie Mellon University. The best-in-class “miniature campus” video came from New York’s Barnard College. We saw tree-trimming or tree-lighting ceremonies at Sweet Briar College, Mount Saint Vincent University, King’s University College, and DePaul University. Meadow Brook Hall at Oakland University was decked with all the trimmings, while Elon University released an hour-long “yule log” video (without a fireplace). Many campuses are beautiful in winter, and snow sports featured in videos from Bishop’s University, McGill University, Western Carolina University, and Trent University. At the University of Minnesota, Carlson School of Management staged ice sculpting. But in the southern hemisphere, the holidays fall at the height of summer – so Santa visits the University of Western Australia wearing shorts and sandals! One new trend in last year’s videos was giant snowglobes on campuses, including Grand Valley State University in Michigan the University of Leicester in England, and the University of La Verne. Although it started two years back, the use of robots in holiday videos really accelerated last year. Some good examples came from the University of South Florida, the UCLA Robotics & Mechanisms Lab, Germany’s Forschungszentrum Informatic research centre, and perhaps even the Western University Archives. Eschewing tradition, the Chancellor of Purdue University Indianapolis was sent on a scavenger hunt, while at Oklahoma State University, president Burns Hargis and his wife took on whitewater rafting. Chancellor Susan Koch of the University of Illinois Springfield became a cartoon and went snowboarding with the provost, while president Feridun Hamdullahpur of the University of Waterloo was turned into claymation in the best-in-class “animated president” video. Animated presidents were just a new twist on the longstanding tradition of amusing videos from animation students, and last year we saw good examples from Sheridan College, Centennial College, and Emily Carr University of Art & Design. The best-in-class “animated greeting” video came from Scotland’s University of Stirling. This episode contains clips from about 60 of the 500+ higher ed holiday videos that Ken collected last year. You can find our full collection of 2018 videos on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLodJ8ParJmYXZ7unDyH9cDK-lwTwGul7B And we’ve started collecting 2019 higher ed holiday videos at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLodJ8ParJmYXaztYot1vitgTZ5AHfAfJk If you want to add one, please use this special link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLodJ8ParJmYXaztYot1vitgTZ5AHfAfJk&jct=Tm_lbyblL2ee4fhdD9En0aFVEu-NVg Ten with Ken will be back in a couple of days with part 2 of our Holiday Special, “Season’s Eatings” - featuring gingerbread, baking, smores, campus feasts and more.

Hello Gardeners, I'm Amanda McNulty with Clemson Extension and Making It Grow. Some boxwood varieties if left alone grow to their mature size developing a cloud like appearance with natural undulations. I grew up hearing about the boxwood clouds at the highly regarded school for women, Sweet Briar College in Virginia, where perhaps thousands of these plants which embody elegance and grace grow. Don't let the magnificent campus, with its clouding boxwoods and red-brick colonial architecture fool you into thinking that the students are like clouds. This school that almost closed in 2015 produces graduates to be leaders in Stem fields, human and environmental sustainability and creativity. It is a tribute to their resilience that boxwoods have been enjoyed in such large ambitious landscapes as that Virginia college campus and also in small modest gardens. The future of the school is healthy. Sadly, an imported fungal disease, boxwood blight, now threatens many boxwood plantings.
The Fire of Liberty with Naomi Wolf One of the world’s most influential feminists and bestselling author Naomi Wolf doesn’t just comment on the world’s most pervasive problems, she aims to solve them. At age 23, Dr. Wolf published , her landmark international bestseller that challenged the cosmetics industry and the marketing of unrealistic beauty standards. Considered one of the most important books of the 20th century by the New York Times, the book launched a new wave of feminism and is still taught on campuses around the world. Naomi Wolf completed a D.Phil. in English Literature from the University of Oxford in 2015 and taught Victorian Studies as a Visiting Professor at SUNY Stony Brook. She was a research fellow at the Barnard Center for Research on Women and at the Rothermere American Institute at the University of Oxford. She taught English Literature at George Washington University as a visiting lecturer. She’s lectured widely on the themes in Outrages: Sex, Censorship and the Criminalization of Love at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, at Balliol College, Oxford, and to the undergraduates in the English Faculty at the University of Oxford. She spoke about the themes in Outrages for the first LGBTQ Colloquium at Rhodes House. Naomi Wolf is a former Rhodes Scholar and a Yale graduate. She’s written eight nonfiction bestsellers, about women’s issues and about civil liberties, and is the CEO of DailyClout.io, a news site which explains US state and Federal legislation. She holds an honorary doctorate from Sweet Briar College. She and her family live in New York City. Website Link: h Get A Free Copy of Outrages by Emailing: naomi@dailyclout.io Until 1857, the State did not link the idea of homosexuality to deviancy. In the same year, the concept of the obscene was coined. New York Times best-selling author Naomi Wolf’s Outrages is the story, brilliantly told, of why this two-pronged State repression took hold — first in England and spreading quickly to America — and why it was attached so dramatically, for the first time, to homosexual men. Before 1857, it wasn’t homosexuality that was a crime, but the act of sodomy. But in a single stroke, not only did love between men become illegal, but anything referring to this love alsowas ruled obscene, unprintable, unspeakable. Wolf paints the dramatic ways this played out among a bohemian group of sexual dissidents, including American poet Walt Whitman and closeted English critic John Addington Symonds, as, decades before the infamous 1895 trial of Oscar Wilde, dire prison terms became the government’s penalty for homosexuality. Most powerfully, Wolf recounts how a dying Symonds helped write the book on sexual inversion that created our modern understanding of homosexuality. And she argues that his secret memoir, mined here fully for the first time, stands as the first gay rights manifesto in the West. Naomi Wolf Quotes Peaceful, lawful protest – if it is effective – is innately disruptive of ‘business as usual.’ That is why it is effective. The press doesn’t stop publishing, by the way, in a fascist escalation; it simply watches what it says. That too can be an incremental process, and the pace at which the free press polices itself depends on how journalists are targeted. To live in a culture in which women are routinely naked where men aren’t is to learn inequality in little ways all day long. So even if we agree that sexual imagery is in fact a language, it is clearly one that is already heavily edited to protect men’s sexual – and hence social – confidence while undermining that of women. A cultural fixation on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty but an obsession about female obedience. A Mother who radiates self-love and self-acceptance actually VACCINATES her daughter against low self-esteem. Only one thing is more frightening than speaking your truth, and that is not speaking. The First Amendment applies to rogues and scoundrels. You don’t lose your First Amendment rights because of a sleazy personality, or even for having committed a crime. Felons in jail are protected by the First Amendment.
On this episode of Rewrite Radio: Scott Hoezee, a noted preacher himself and the director of the Center for Excellence in Preaching at Calvin Theological Seminary, conducts a wide-ranging interview with Fleming Rutledge. Fleming Rutledge is an Episcopal priest and writer of nine books, including the award-winning The Crucifixion: Understanding the Death of Jesus Christ. Ordained to the diaconate in 1975, two years later, she became one of the first women to be ordained to the priesthood of the Episcopal Church. She has often been invited to preach in prominent pulpits such as the Washington National Cathedral, the Duke University Chapel, Trinity Church in Boston, and the Harvard Memorial Chapel. A native of Franklin, Virginia, Rutledge graduated magna cum laude from Sweet Briar College in 1959 and went on to complete her Master in Divinity at Union Theological Seminary. She was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Virginia Theological Seminary. For the first 14 years of her career, she served at Grace Church in New York City. Subsequently, Rutledge served as interim rector of St. John’s, Salisbury, Connecticut, and has twice been a resident Fellow at the Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton. She has also been resident at Wycliffe College at the University of Toronto School of Theology, where she taught preaching, and a visiting scholar at the American Academy in Rome. Rutledge’s particular expertise is the intersection of biblical theology with contemporary culture, current events and politics, literature, music, and art. The Crucifixion, Christianity Today’s 2017 Book of the Year, examines the contemporary meaning of Christ’s sacrifice. Her latest book, Advent: The Once and Future Coming of Jesus Christ, was published by Eerdmans in September 2018.

In 2015, Sweet Briar College was on the brink. In March, its board of directors announced that the school would close its doors in August, citing overarching and insurmountable challenges. But the college's alumnae famously saved the school, and in the time since, Sweet Briar has roared back to life. In this episode of the Hashtag Higher Ed podcast, Vice President for Communications and Enrollment Management Melissa Richards and Assistant Director for Content Strategy Janika Carey join the show to discuss Sweet Briar's new brand, the benefits and challenges of communicating with a female-only audience, and the role their admissions blog plays in attracting prospective students.
On February 22, 2018, Lynn Rainville delivered a Banner Lecture entitled “Doing Their Bit: The Surprising Role of Virginians in the Great War.” In this illustrated lecture, Lynn Rainville revealed the crucial roles that Virginians played in the Great War. These individuals ranged from drafted soldiers to politicians (including Staunton native, Woodrow Wilson) and from locally born horses to their ferriers. These patriots also included female stenographers, African American doctors, domestic gardeners, National Guard troops, and army chaplains. Of these hundreds of thousands of volunteers, more than 3,600 lost their lives as a direct result of the war, impacting families throughout the state. And yet many of their sacrifices have been forgotten. Rainville concluded her talk with a study of statues erected in Virginia after the war to reveal a more complete story of service and sacrifice during the Great War. Dr. Lynn Rainville is a research professor in the humanities at Sweet Briar College and a fellow at the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities. She is the author of "Hidden History: African American Cemeteries in Central Virginia" and "Virginia and the Great War: Mobilization, Supply and Combat, 1914–1919."
In this episode I discuss some of the features found in historic graveyards associated with wealthy, white families. I highlight half-a-dozen early 19th-century gravestones in the Monument Hill Cemetery at Sweet Briar College.

On March 29, 2017, the University of North Dakota athletic department announced that due to budget cuts, the women's hockey team, as well as the men's and women's swimming program, was being eliminated. It was shocking to a community that loves hockey. And the program had established itself as one of college women's hockey best programs under the guidance of the coach who helped revive the program, Brian Idalski and his staff of longtime assistant coaches. For many programs, that news would be the end of the story. But in this case, it's not. The team and the coaches quickly decided to try and fight the decision, and save the program. On today's edition of College Recruiting Weekly, we chronicle the inside story of how a coaching staff and their players reacted at the news no college coach wants to hear, how they helped their players through the disappointment, and their plan for saving their program. We also talk to a coach and athletic director at another college who faced the same challenge, and managed to be part of a solution that resulted in saving their campus from closing permanently. There's also an unexpected twist at the end of today's episode. But then again, it's not really the 'end'...or is it? This episode is meant to instruct coaches on the right way to handle a crisis like this, using the outstanding example of Coach Idalski and his staff, as well as the outstanding young athletes on the team. This is their personal story, and we hope that other college coaches can learn from it. You can follow the team's effort to save their program on Twitter by looking for #NeverEndTheFight. The team also has a Facebook page that is making an effort to rally support. You can take action to back the program at https://www.facebook.com/NeverEndTheFightUND/ At the time we are publishing this podcast on April 8, 2017, the final outcome of the effort to save the program was unknown. A special thanks to Coach Brian Idalski, Coach Erik Fabian, Freshman Forward Sara Lecavalier, and Teresa Boylan/Athletic Director at Sweet Briar College. Their willingness to share their story is very much appreciated.
A lifelong Virginian, graduate of Sweet Briar College, and assistant editor at The Virginian-Pilot, Emily Slingluff had 3 miscarriages and, later, spent 7 1/2 months of a pregnancy in bed. She has 2 very dear children... a son who is married, and pracices as a surgeon and cancer researcher, and a daughter who is married and has two grown daughters of her own. Emily loves life and appreciates nature in all of its forms, especially the ocean. Writing and thinking about parenting have filled much of the time of her adult life. A director of Norfolk Academy, the school where her children attended for many years before college, asked Emily what she had "done with them" before they entered the first grade. That simple question and her subsequent answer led to her first book and her career as a speaker and expert on parenting. Author of 3 books, A Present to the Newborn, which was also released as A Primer for Positive Parenting with the same words inside, Parenting Without Punishment, which came out in late 2013, and her thrid book, Peace, just released at the end of 2015. Her concept of "PARENTOGETHER", which is defined as the parent and child working together instead of on opposite sides, is widely embraced.

On this program, I talk with Fleming Rutledge about her new book, The Crucifixion: Understanding the Death of Jesus Christ (Eerdmans, 2015), and the themes and motifs surrounding the topic in the history of biblical interpretation. While theologians and preachers have often focused exclusively on concepts such as atonement or justification, Rutledge highlights many other biblical motifs and themes of no lesser value and importance. Ordained to the diaconate in 1975, Rutledge received her Master of Divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary in New York and was one of the first women to be ordained to the priesthood of the Episcopal Church in January 1977. Widely recognized in the United States, Canada, and in the UK not only as a preacher and lecturer but also as one who teaches other preachers, Rutledge is an expert on the intersection of Biblical theology with contemporary culture, current events and politics, literature, music, and art. She has often been invited to preach in prominent pulpits such as the Washington National Cathedral, the Duke University Chapel, Trinity Church in Boston, and the Harvard Memorial Chapel. She is the author of many books, including God Spoke to Abraham: Preaching from the Old Testament and The Battle for Middle-earth: Tolkien’s Divine Design in The Lord of the Rings, both published by Eerdmans. A native of Franklin, Virginia, Rutledge graduated from Sweet Briar College in 1959, magna cum laude with highest honors in English. In May 1999, she was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Virginia Theological Seminary in May 1999. Fleming and her husband, Reginald, celebrated their 55th anniversary in 2014. They live in New York state and have two grown daughters and two grandchildren. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On October 8, 2015, Lynn Rainville delivered a Banner Lecture entitled “God's Acre: Why African American Cemeteries Matter.” In Hidden History, Lynn Rainville travels through the forgotten African American cemeteries of central Virginia to recover information crucial to the stories of the black families who lived and worked there for more than two hundred years. The subjects of Rainville's research are not statesmen or plantation elites; they are hidden residents, people who are typically underrepresented in historical research but whose stories are essential for a complete understanding of our national past. Rainville studied above-ground funerary remains in more than 150 historic African American cemeteries in Virginia to provide an overview of mortuary and funerary practices from the late eighteenth century to the end of the twentieth. Combining historical, anthropological, and archaeological perspectives, she analyzes documents—such as wills, obituaries, and letters—as well as gravestones and graveside offerings. Rainville's findings shed light on family genealogies, the rise and fall of segregation, and attitudes toward religion and death. As many of these cemeteries are either endangered or already destroyed, the book and this talk will include a discussion about the challenges of preservation and how Virginians may visit, and help preserve, these valuable cultural assets. Lynn Rainville is a research professor in the humanities and the founding director of the Tusculum Institute for local history, located at Sweet Briar College. Her most recent book is Hidden History: African American Cemeteries in Central Virginia. The content and opinions expressed in these presentations are solely those of the speaker and not necessarily of the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.

Sweet Briar College was about to close its doors after 114 years of operation. But it turns out it won’t […]
Sweet Briar College was about to close after struggling with dwindling enrollment and other problems. An alumni group raised more than 20 million dollars in pledges to keep the doors open, but the school's survival is still deeply in doubt.
The board’s announcement that 2014-15 will be the last academic year for Sweet Briar College has given our field much to process. Each constituent audience — from administrators, to the board, to faculty and students, to staff and community — has been struggling, in some cases quite publicly, with a world in which their institution no longer exists. And now, as this closure moves into the courts, even more questions arise around the question of legality in this closure. It’s a complex scenario, but one which opens the doors to hard questions all institutions should be asking as they work to adjust to this new normal.
Sweet Briar College in rural Virginia has been educating women for 114 years, but last month the college’s board announced that […]
Last month the board of Sweet Briar College announced that the school will shut its doors at the end of this term, due to financial difficulties. The announcement was made abruptly, sending the campus community into a state of shock... and then activism.
In this week’s Extra Credit, Standard & Poor’s Managing Director Robin Prunty and Senior Director John Sugden discuss our outlook on state pensions, and Director Sussan Corson explains what’s behind our rating on Sweet Briar College.
Libby and Andrew ask Kevin tough questions about his new book, The End of College. Also: the demise of Sweet Briar College and what the Academy Awards say about higher education.
Higher education is in crisis, in large part because - as Kevin Carey points out in his new book, The End of College - students (and their parents) are paying more and getting less. The announcement that Sweet Briar College will close at the end of this year illustrates how untenable the current system is. On this episode, Carey, director of New America's education policy program, talks with ProPublica's Marian Wang about his book and how information technology will facilitate the creation of institutions that serve what Carey calls the "big middle" in education, who are currently left behind or saddled with debt.
