Race and Crisis at a Crossroads

ACE and American University hosted an interactive learning experience focused on taking action on the intersecting issues of race and crisis management in higher education. The foundation for this experience is a three-year study of the racial crisis that took place at the University of Missouri in 2015-16, and of the resulting lessons learned by the campus community. In the recording, you will hear from researchers and campus leaders about their experiences navigating this crisis, and how they applied lessons learned over the last five years to manage their institutional response to COVID-19. You will also learn from scholars and practitioners looking forward to consider the evolving landscape of diversity, equity, and inclusion as campuses prepare for the fall term and beyond.

Basic Needs for All Students

On June 11, Dr. Sara Goldrick-Rab, leader of the #RealCollege movement and best known for her innovative research on food and housing insecurity in higher education, will discuss the importance of basic needs and emergency aid for college and university students. Her recent report revealed that 68% of parenting students were housing insecure in the previous year, compared to 42% of students were housing insecure in the previous year. The pandemic has exasperated the crisis around basic needs. In an unprecedented move, the federal government granted higher ed with nearly $7B through the CARES Act to be used elusively for emergency aid for their students. Learn more about why granting emergency aid has always been important but is most especially critical today, along with strategies for how to assess basic needs and disburse funds. Dr. Goldrick-Rab will share why using an equity lens (to support all students, but especially DACA, students of color, students from low-income backgrounds, and student parents) has a clear ROI for higher ed.

ACE “Just in Time” Webinar Discussing Just-Released Title IX Final Rule

The Department of Education on May 6 released its long-anticipated final rule significantly amending the department's existing Title IX regulations. Given the importance of this final rule, and the intense interest among various campus stakeholders, ACE provided a “just in time" webinar on Monday, May 11, at 200 pm (ET), providing a high-level overview of key provisions and takeaways for presidents, chancellors, and other senior campus leaders with Title IX responsibilities. Colleges and universities are committed to upholding Title IX and to creating campuses that are safe, supportive, and responsive for all students so they can benefit from the widest possible array of educational opportunities. Watch the recording to hear from several experts on this topic to learn about provisions in the new rule, any changes made in response to higher education and other stakeholders' concerns, and key considerations for campus administrators as they prepare to implement the new rule. What Is Title IX? Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex under any education program or activity that receives federal funding. Sexual harassment, which includes sexual assault, is a form of unlawful sex discrimination prohibited under Title IX. In recent years, there has been significant and ongoing policy discussions among federal lawmakers, the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, colleges and universities, victim's rights groups, and other key stakeholders regarding the obligations of colleges and universities under Title IX to address the serious problem of campus sexual assault. On Nov. 29, 2018, the Department of Education issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend the Title IX regulations. ACE, along with 60 other higher education associations, submitted comments on the proposed rule in January 2019, as did nearly 125,000 other interested stakeholders.

Leading Higher Education Internationalization as a Sustainable Social Good “There is no more powerful transformative force than education—to promote human rights and dignity, to eradicate poverty and deepen sustainability, to build a better future for all, founded on equal rights and social justice, respect for cultural diversity, and international solidarity and shared responsibility, all of which are fundamental aspects of our common humanity.” — Irina Bokova, former director-general of UNESCO To address today’s global challenges - well-articulated by the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - higher education internationalization is the conduit for crossing boundaries and connecting disparate cultures and modes of knowledge. At its best, internationalization brings together interdisciplinary, cross-sector, and globally networked communities focused on serving students, local and regional interests, and the wider social good. For the 20th anniversary of the Internationalization Collaborative, this year's program will highlight ways that higher education institutions are proactively developing and incorporating internationalization strategies to be socially responsible and inclusively civic-minded on their campuses, and in their international partnerships.

Whither HEA Reauthorization?

https://www.acenet.edu/Events/Pages/Whither-HEA-Reauthorization.aspx

Whither HEA Reauthorization?

The Higher Education Act (HEA), the main law that governs federal financial aid and other higher education programs, is supposed to be renewed every five years. But it was last reauthorized in 2008 and has been running on temporary extensions for the past several years while lawmakers start—then stop—the reauthorization process, only to have to begin again every two years when a new Congress is sworn in. As 2019 draws to a close and Congress prepares to leave DC for its holiday break, American Council on Education (ACE) Senior Vice President Terry W. Hartle and ACE Director of Government Relations Jon Fansmith will provide an overview of the prospects for HEA reauthorization, major issues involved with the legislation, and the implications for colleges and universities. HEA Reauthorization Q&A Session In addition to this 45-minute webinar presentation about the future of HEA reauthorization, Hartle and Fansmith will hold a 30-minute question-and-answer session on the same topic the next day, December 11, at 230 p.m. (ET) exclusively on ACE Engage ® , ACE's peer-to-peer online community and learning platform. Background This fall, Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA), chair of the House Education and Labor Committee, introduced a new version of HEA reauthorization legislation, the College Affordability Act (H.R. 4674), which was approved by the committee on October 31 along a party-line vote. At over 1,200 pages, it's a dense, complicated piece of legislation, with a number of provisions that would be beneficial for students and institutions, such as significant increases in student aid and support for institutions that have historically been under-resourced. However, these provisions are offset in parts by intrusive, complicated, or burdensome requirements that will undercut the bill's primary goal to make higher education more affordable. See the letter that ACE sent on behalf of 32 other higher education associations to the House commenting on the legislation by clicking here . Meanwhile, HEA discussions in the Senate are currently stalled, although Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, has attempted to revive the process with a bill containing a handful of changes to the HEA that he released in September. Sen. Alexander and Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) also introduced legislation to simplify the process for applying for federal financial aid. Neither of those efforts have significant support from Democrats and, at present, they appear unlikely to advance.

The Transformation-Ready Higher Education Institution: How Leaders Can Prepare for and Promote Change

Higher education leaders will not be able to solve for every economic, political, social, or technological variable reshaping the industry. But by rooting transformation in tangible changes to the management approaches, processes, and structures that have long defined their institutions, leaders will prepare their teams to educate and impact as many students as possible — regardless of what the future holds. Together the American Council on Education (ACE), the Georgia Institute of Technology, and Huron engaged with 495 leaders at four-year, nonprofit colleges and universities to understand areas of opportunity and concern and how they are preparing for future change. Join leaders from ACE, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and Huron for a webinar exploring the research findings, and to discuss how leaders can position their institutions for meaningful change by building upon four key dimensions of transformation readiness Develop collaborative leaders who share accountability for strategic growth and manage performance more deliberately. Plan differently and ask questions with both immediate, short-term and visionary, long-term perspectives. Operate in more connected ways through shared data and technology that enable stronger performance management. Establish innovation centers to develop and launch offerings for new student populations, from first-generation learners to corporate employees and adults pursuing career shifts. This event will take place online. Participation is complementary, but registration is required.
