Episode Description
Greg Pillar answers these questions on this special podcast episode of 'This Week in College Viability'.
- "Enrollment teams are obviously focused on hitting the numbers, often relying on GPA and test scores. In your experience, why are those metrics failing to predict a student’s actual readiness for the modern college environment?"
- "If Enrollment focuses on 'getting them in' and Academics focuses on 'teaching them,' who is responsible for the transition? Where are students falling through the cracks during that hand-off?"
- "Instructional capacity is often overlooked in the viability conversation. Are we asking faculty to do the impossible by putting modern learners into outdated academic infrastructures?"
- "Headlines about program cuts are usually framed as 'Faculty vs. Administration.' What is the nuance that the media almost always misses
- "If a college accepts a student, they are making a promise of viability. Do schools have a moral obligation to stop enrolling students they are not structurally prepared to graduate?"
- What is the 'tuition mirage'?
- There was a west coast faculty post today about AI becoming a better teacher than teachers. That may or may not happen. Talk us through a scenario what that does happen in higher education.
