An article title at Inside Higher Ed today caught my attention immediately: “Presidential Tenures on the Line. “ David Moltz describes the recent decision of the Board of Trustees of the City Colleges of Chicago to revise the job description of “college president.” As a result, all current presidents at its seven institutions will have [...]

I’ve had a few conversations with people recently in which I was asked if I thought Wisconsin Governor Walker was going to “cave” and compromise with the workers who are occupying the State Capitol building and rallying. My sense of things has been that I do not think that Walker will budge. He was elected [...]

It’s not just going on in Wisconsin. Retrenchments do not only affect KU. Kutztown teachers push back against threats of layoffs and increasing class size in public schools. Here’s the article from the Reading Eagle: Kutztown teachers bite back, say ratio math is misleading.

Check out this video of the first three days of the protests in Madison, WI.

Readers of the XChange won’t be surprised if I were to say that Kutztown University suffers from a lack vision.

What’s KU’s response to the Commonwealth’s need for nurses? Cut the nursing program of [...]
