Basically doc programs at private institutions. Is that where most of the issue would arise?

Why would a nursing degree require over $100k in debt?

Cannot believe they keep interviewing him as if people care what he thinks. They do not.

Okay, I have a draft. It might be very bad, hard to tell haha

Yeah, I worry that senior faculty and administrators' mental models of academic publishing are from 10 years ago.

Our whole leadership team is co-writing our report. I'm in 4 meetings about this week 😵

There are faculty who just do the typical faculty stuff.

And then there are faculty who are spending significant hours on accreditation (and enrollment).

All faculty. Different worlds.

I don't have anywhere specific I'm going with this, except to say that I wonder if, as part of faculty development, we should be talking more about the possibility that students' expectations around course management are higher than they used to be...maybe?

I can imagine faculty, however, thinking about teaching primarily in terms of what they do in class sessions. It's possible, then, to shortchange the course management. With student expectations as they are, this is where they then get dinged at the end of the semester.

This is probably not a huge insight. But I think many students these days (or at least the working grad students in my area) equate these two--teaching *is* course management. And they have pretty high expectations related to organization, predictability, feedback, communication.
