THE CHRONICLE chronicle.com Earmark Ban Would Cost Colleges Dearly By Kev in Kiley of Higher Education Volume LVII, Number 17 C to lose billions of dollars for research, facilities, and other purposes if Congressional leaders hold firm in their pledge to ban earmarks, the spending that individual members direct to their home states and favorite projects outside of the competitive processes. Some of the biggest losers would be colleges in states whose lawmakers in Washington hold top positions on appropriations committees, and which have traditionally received substantial earmarks. In spending bills for the 2010 fiscal year, colleges in Texas, Mississippi, and California received the most Congressionally directed money for academic projects, according to an analysis of data by Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonprofit watchdog group. House Republicans, who will take control of their chamber in January after picking up 63 seats last month, have vowed to eliminate earmarks from appropriations bills. And President Obama has said he supports overhauling the earmark process to eliminate waste and abuse. The federal-deficit commission he appointed has recommended cutting earmarks out of spending legislation, estimating that doing so would save about $16-billion annually. With the political momentum shifting against such spending, colleges government-relations officials are telling campus leaders not Continued on Page A15 Darrell Shandrow, a journalism student who is blind, can navigate around Arizona State U. just fine (above, he uses Foursquare, a location-based cellphone app). But he was stymied by Spanish 101, which uses an online workbook inaccessible to blind students. By Ma rc Pa r ry M 19,000 people have visited a new student union that Arizona State University put up last year to build a better sense of campus community. Darrell Shandrow, a blind senior studying journalism, can t get through the front door. He s stuck because the new social hub is built of bits, not bricks a private Facebook application for Arizona State students. And, like so much technology used by colleges, the software doesn t work with the programs that blind people depend on to navigate the Web. Basically, I m locked out, Mr. Shandrow, 37, says. So are many others. Colleges that wouldn t dare put up a new building without wheelchair access now routinely roll out digital services that, for blind people, are the Internet equivalent of impassable stairs. Roughly 75,000 students at DAV ID WA LLACE FOR THE CHRONICLE Colleges Lock Out Blind Students Online colleges and trade schools are visually impaired, according to Education Department figures. Bar- riers to access could deny them equal learning opportunities. And colleges are finding that the problems are lawsuit bait, generating litigation and complaints. This is a distressing trend because technology should actually benefit the blind. Mr. Shandrow s life is a daily demonstration of that potential.

The flags represent the five wisdoms. By Law r ence Biem iller S and I know I m one of them, can be skeptical when confronted with anything unfamiliar, whether it be a recording, a recipe, or a religion. So I was a little worried when I stopped by Naropa University which describes itself as Buddhist-inspired and says it is dedicated to advancing contemplative education and people started talking to me earnestly about consciousness. To be honest, I was afraid my eyes might glaze over, the way they do when people try to talk to me earnestly about, say, football or rap music. It was Costen Aytes, Naropa s friendly, plainspoken landscape manager, who came to my rescue, taking me on a tour that started with the main campus s tidy sandstone paths, towering sycamores, quiet nooks, and busy bikelending shack a tour that explained Naropa in terms I m a lot more familiar with.

F coddled by helicopter par- ents to underage drinkers mad for Four Loco, popular depictions of undergraduates often paint them as young adults feeling their way through postadolescence. But while a cadre of undergraduates certainly does leave home at 18 to live on leafy campuses and party hard many others are commuters, full-time workers, and parents. More than a third of all undergraduates attend parttime, and most are not af- fluent. That s reflected in where students go to college more than twice as many undergraduates attend the University of Phoenix s online campus as go to an Ivy League college.

THE BRIEFING For more news and analysis, see chronicle.com December 17, 2010 Let It Snow Please SERGIO LÓPEZ-PIÑEIRO Snow and Buffalo are synonymous and thus the white stuff is potentially a rich medium for a Buffalo artist. Sergio López-Piñeiro, an assistant professor of architecture at SUNY s University at Buffalo, plans to take full advantage of nature s bounty this winter, plowing the snow in the parking lot of Buffalo s Front Park into 15 giant mounds. By February, he hopes, each hillock will be about 42 feet wide and seven feet high. For months he has been plotting his steps with a scale model of the park (above ), using toy plows to push drifts of heavy salt into the desired designs. Graduate Enrollments Decline in Foreign-Language Programs Undergraduate enrollments in foreignlanguage courses reached an all-time high in the fall of 2009, with a 6.6-per- cent increase since the fall of 2006. But graduate-level enrollments declined for the first time in a decade, reported the Modern Language Association. That decline could mean a shortage of qualified foreign-language instructors for the next generation of students, MLA officials said. 2 For-Profit Institutions Announce Big Cuts in Jobs Faced with slowing enrollments, Kaplan Inc. said last week that it would eliminate about 770 jobs, or about 5 percent of the work force, in its Kaplan Higher Education division. The company, part of the Washington Post Company, did not say where the cuts would be made, but an executive said personnel needs were changing because we have made a strategic decision to become more selective in the students we enroll. A week earlier, the Apollo Group said it would lay off about 700 people, most of whom worked in admissions for its University of Phoenix. Lambuth and Fisk Face Accreditation Penalties Two financially struggling universities in Tennessee have been penalized by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. It removed the accreditation of Lambuth University, but the institution plans to appeal and will retain its accreditation while that process is under way. The commission placed Fisk University on warning status for six months. Judge Dismisses Challenge to Racial-Preference Ban A federal judge has rejected the latest challenge to California s Proposition 209, which bans the use of affirmativeaction preferences by public colleges and other state and local agencies. In dismissing the lawsuit, Judge Samuel Conti, of the U.S. District Court in San Francisco, said the plaintiffs in the case had failed to convince him that the legal landscape changed enough in recent years to undermine a previous appealscourt decision upholding the state measure. Movie-Industry Group Warns Colleges About Digital Piracy The Motion Picture Association of American has started to send letters to thousands of college and university presidents, alerting them that it would notify colleges whenever it detects illegal trading of Hollywood films and TV shows on their campuses.

On Route 66, Get Your Kicks From Tourist Sites L is Northern Arizona University s mascot a 22-foot-tall fiberglass giant who stands, ax at the ready, outside the university s Walkup Dome. I went to the university library s special-collections section in search of more information about Louie, and that s where I met R. Sean Evans, university ar- chivist. He told me that the Paul-Bunyanesque Louie had been designed to adver- tise mufflers but ended up as an extra. In the mid-1960s, Mr. Evans said, an enterprising fiberglass-company salesman loaded Louie up and trucked him along the old Route 66 until he found a willing buyer, the owner of a Flagstaff establishment called the Lumberjack Cafe. After the restaurant changed hands it s now Granny s Closet, and a 10-foot cedar Louie has replaced the original the fiberglass gent took over as the university s mascot. I should mention that Mr. Evans, who curated a recent Route 66 exhibit at the university library, was wearing a Route CHRONICLE PHOTOGRAPH BY LAWRENCE BIEMILLER 66 shirt while he was telling me all this over breakfast at Miz Zip s, a diner on old Route 66. Also, his car has Route 66 seat covers. He and his wife became Route 66 fans one day in 1965 when they were driving over to Williams, Ariz., and got caught in a traffic jam caused by the decommissioning ceremony for the last stretch of Route 66 to be replaced by Interstate 40. His interest piqued, he deter- mined to photograph all that remained of the highway. He is, he said, nowhere near finished. Route 66 was laid out in 1926 by connecting existing roads not all of them paved into a route from Chicago to Los Angeles. It always came through downtown Flagstaff, where it ran right beside the tracks of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. But elsewhere highway officials changed the alignment from time to time. The most notable item in the library s exhibit, Mr. Evans said, was a chunk of pavement from a longtime alignment in which visitors could see layers of asphalt going all the way back to the earliest alignment. The exhibit was on display for a year and remains accessible online. He said it attracted Route 66 fans from as far away as France and Belgium. From Miz Zip s we drove back toward downtown Flagstaff, where we walked around several old Route 66 motels that survive as hostels or apartments, in some cases with tall neon signs still tower- ing above them. Mr. Evans encouraged me to stop by Route 66 landmarks like La Posada, a 1930 hotel in Winslow that was designed by Mary Jane Cotter for the hotel and restaurant magnate Fred Har- vey, whose inventive approach to tourism helped define the American Southwest as a destination.

By Kev in Kiley Chemist Channels Her Energies Into Developing Sustainable Power A the Princeton chemist Emily A. Carter s work is about the fundamental shifts that molecules can undergo when some outside influence acts on them. That kind of major shift can be seen in her own experience, too. Five years ago, Ms. Carter was hit with her own stimulus a report that detailed the evidence of climate change. It was at that point that Ms. Carter, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and applied and computational mathematics, whose research spans multiple disciplines including physics and chemistry, Peer Review upended her life s work to focus on what she considers the biggest problem of our time: energy. I felt like I had an obligation, a responsibility to use my expertise to solve these big problems, she says. I no longer had the luxury to just do intellectually stimulating research projects. My research had taken on a purposeful perspective. Since then, Ms. Carter has completely shifted her focus to energy issues, ranging from creating lightweight alloys that could improve fuel efficiency in cars to doing research on the materials used in solar panels to make them more efficient. In September she became founding director of Princeton s Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, an interdisciplinary institute that will seek to bring together scientists and engineers, as well as policy makers and economists, to develop new means of sustainable energy production, energy conservation, and environmental protection. The center is financed through a $100-million gift by a Princeton alumnus. Pablo G. Debenedetti, chairman of the committee that selected Ms. Carter and vice dean of Princeton s School of Engineering and Applied Science, said Ms. Carter was the consensus choice for the role, despite her initial hesitation about adding the job to a growing list of research responsibilities. She s articulate, passionate about the energy issue, and very thoughtful. What more could you ask for in a leader? he asks. She can also back up what she says with an excellent record of what she s accomplished. Ms. Carter likes to say her background in both applied and natural science has made her multilingual, capable of conversing with researchers in different disciplines and bridging ideas from one department to another. Within her own lab, she has graduate and postdoctoral students in engineering, chemistry, physics, and math. It will be up to Ms. Carter, as founding director, to bring in researchers. She said she plans to go around the campus asking faculty members to work with the center, as well as inquire about who should be brought in from the outside. Ms. Carter will most likely hire nine new faculty members Emily A. Carter BENTLEY DREZNER for the center. Anyone who has expertise in an area related to this should be working on these problems, she says. Ms. Carter began her career as a chemist focused on quantum mechanics the study of subatomic particle behavior earning a Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology. She spent the next few years studying surface chemistry, earning grants to do research on materials that could withstand the high temperatures of jet engines and energy turbines and developing computational models to predict the behavior of materials at the atomic level. I had been working a lot of different projects and developing software tools to probe the properties of materials, but I hadn t had a laser-beam focus on any one particular issue, she says. That changed when Ms. Carter read a report by the Inter- governmental Panel on Climate Change in 2005. She says that report presented clear and convincing evidence that man-made carbon-dioxide emissions were having a significant effect on earth s climate. Of all the directions in which she could have taken her work, she says, energy issues provided her with the best chance to use her expertise to tackle a pressing need. You have to look at your technical strengths and say, Where I can make the best contribution? she says. My expertise is in physical phenomena, and I think that has more applications to the energy field. Outside the traditional reasons for wanting to combat climate change, Ms. Carter has another argument for reducing the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere. Even if you could prove that carbon dioxide has nothing to do with global climate change, it is incredibly stupid as a chemist to continue down the current path, she says. It makes no sense to be blowing all this carbon up into the atmosphere when we could be using it for useful purposes right here on earth. But combating climate change will take more than a science perspective, Ms. Carter recognizes. Part of her goal for the center is to bring in researchers from fields such as economics, policy studies, and even the humanities to figure out the best ways to effect change. And that goal will require Ms. Carter to reach into even more fields, create new bonds, and explore new ideas, three pursuits she has always found stimulating.

The Chronicle of Higher Education December 17, 2010 A5 information technology PHoToGrAPHS By DAvID WAllACE For THE CHroNIClE Colleges Lock Blind Students Out of Growing Online World In a number of respects, blind students are at a greater disadvantage today than they were 20 years ago. Technology ought to benefit the blind, argues Darrell Shandrow, a senior at Arizona State, who has waged a lengthy battle to make course materials, not just campus facilities, accessible to blind students. (Below, he scans a book to convert text into digital audio.) The Chronicle has found such problems widespread at colleges. Continued From Page A1 to-speech software that reads Web sites out loud. To get around town, he runs iphone applications that identify nearby buildings and even the bills in his wallet. He also blogs, tweets, shoots video, and hosts an online radio show. But even though he can navigate so much of the world, Mr. Shandrow hit a wall when he got to Spanish 101. The obstacle: an online workbook that failed to correctly label images. The Chronicle, after more than two dozen interviews and a review of federal records and recent research, found widespread access problems like that. Some other examples: n College Web pages are widely inaccessible to people with disabilities, according to a recent National Science Foundation-backed study that looked at 127 institutions in the Northwest over five years. A recent study of 183 colleges, nationwide, found similar problems. (See table, Page A6.) n Many colleges have no centralized way to ensure that online courses comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act, says a November report from the Campus Computing Project and the Wiche Cooperative for Educational Telecommunications. n At one of the country s most prominent public institutions, Pennsylvania State University, blind students and professors suffer pervasive and ongoing discrimination because of inaccessible campus technology, says a federal complaint filed in November by the country s largest organization of blind people. The complaint names problem areas that include Penn State s library catalog, departmental Web sites, and, crucially, its almost totally inaccessible course-management software. n At Arizona State last year, advocates including Mr. Shandrow sued the institution over its use of Amazon s Kindle e-reader, which lacked audible menus for blind people. Arizona State agreed that it would strive to use accessible devices if it deployed e-book readers in classes over the next two years. In a number of respects, blind students are at a greater disadvantage today than they were 20 years ago, says Daniel F. Goldstein, counsel to the National Federation of the Blind, who filed the complaint against Penn State. (Both that university and Arizona State have responded to complaints by stating that they are committed to accessible learning for all.) The Vision Problem For Mr. Shandrow, the Kindle suit was the latest episode in a long and sometimes lonely fight to get people to care about this issue, a fight that has put him at odds with technology companies, colleges, other advocates for the blind, employers, even his own family. It s much more than just the use of e-readers that bugs him about Arizona State. For instance, there s the technology adopted by the journalism school, in Phoenix, whose modern downtown campus Mr. Shandrow reaches by light rail. Arizona State participates in News21, a national multimedia project that aims to train a new generation of journalists Continued on Page A7

A6 The Chronicle of Higher Education December 17, 2010 information technology Best and Worst College Web Sites for Blind Students Some college Web pages treat blind students who rely on text-to-speech readers better than others do. Jon R. Gunderson, coordinator of assistive communication and information-technology accessibility at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has reviewed Web pages at 183 institutions. He selected them mostly from 15 major athletic conferences, since those institutions are similar in size and mission. He also surveyed all institutions in California s two university systems, and those in one Colorado university system, because of their large enrollments. He reviewed home pages, main pages from the admissions offices and colleges of liberal arts, as well as all other pages with links on those primary sites. The percentages in each column indicate the proportion of pages that met Mr. Gunderson s accessibility criteria. Here are the top 25 and bottom 25 colleges in his ranking.

The Chronicle of Higher Education December 17, 2010 A7 Continued From Page A5 capable of reshaping the news industry. but news21 uses an online video player that gives Mr. shandrow s screen reader a fit. daily frustrations like that drive his one-man advocacy war. When he finds a problem, which is often, the journalism student doesn t hesitate to shame the offender with a volley of messages to his 1,100 Twitter followers. This tendency has earned him criticism from other advocates. publicly scolding people rather than privately counseling them may actually do more harm than good, they argue. And some other blind students don t get all the fuss. rhonda s. partain, 46, remembers the misery of her student life in the early 1980s. inaccessible technology? Try a typewriter. you might write three blank pages, she says, before realizing that your machine had run out of ink. With computers, however imperfect, she was recently able to complete an online degree at Liberty University. This is immensely better, she says. some of these people who are complaining now should have known how it was then, and they wouldn t complain so much. Mr. shandrow takes a harder line. Accessibility is a human right, in his view. if a sighted person can use a piece of technology, he should be able to as well. in person, his appearance is as loud as his advocacy. Unlike some blind people, who favor inconspicuous short canes, Mr. shandrow scrapes the sidewalk with a 63-inch staff that extends beyond his ear. people can see they should watch where they re going, he explains. i m here! his belt advertises his presence, too, with a large turquoise-and-silver buckle and darrell engraved in the leather. About the only thing he hides are his eyes, blinded since childhood by glaucoma and veiled behind gold-tinted aviator sunglasses. Mr. shandrow became a hardened activist as a teen. Craving a mainstream education, he tried to transfer to a local public school from the Arizona state school for the deaf and the blind. officials discouraged him, he says, with irksome questions: how would he go to the bathroom? eat lunch? Long story short: his family went to court, and won access to public school. That early struggle changed him, says Mr. shandrow s wife, Karen, during a late-november dinner at an Applebee s restaurant in Tempe. her guide dog, a golden-retriever/black- Lab cross named Joyce, slurps from a bowl of ice cubes at her feet. Karen, too, is blind. her husband realized early on that blind people can t depend on others to get their needs met, she says. They need to do everything in their power to fight for themselves. Everything. he s still an ethical person and stuff, she continues. but i m willing to go pretty far if i feel the need to, says Mr. shandrow, finishing the sentence. how far? he smiles. Let s just say anything short of violence or terrorism or something like that. Anything short of that goes. do anything, say anything, to get accessibility. E-reader Trouble in 2009, he got the chance to make a big splash for the cause. Amazon was touting its Kindle e- reader in the textbook market with college pilot programs. Advocates for the blind like the national Federation, angry because of the device s inaccessibility, wanted to shape this emerging market by taking a tough legal stance. And Mr. shandrow was in a position to help, since Arizona state, where he had returned in 2008 after dropping out in the 1990s, was one of Amazon s pilot partners. it wasn t a perfect position, because the university s pilot program was limited to the honors college, to which Mr. shandrow didn t belong, so the program didn t directly affect him. still, when a lawyer on the case reached out to him, his answer was instant: sign me up. The fight hit Mr. shandrow close to home. in the 1990s, he virtually bombed out his first two semesters of college and withdrew from most classes, largely because of a lack of textbooks in braille or electronic format. nearly two decades later, access to books remains a very thorny issue. Many publishers have dragged their feet making textbooks available in alternate formats, says Jack Trammell, director of disability-support services at randolph-macon College, in virginia. That creates delays and leaves colleges scrambling to figure out alternative fixes, such as scanning books themselves. Amazon s Kindle had the potential to avoid such problems. Unlike ink on paper, digital texts aren t inherently visual or aural, advocates argue, so they should be equally accessible to blind or sighted users. in fact, the Kindle did come with textto-speech technology. but its menus were not accessible to blind users.

A8 The Chronicle of Higher Education December 17, 2010 information technology Continued From Preceding Page I told my father-in-law about it, he just about went crazy. He said that I would ruin my chances for future employment, and people would see me as a troublemaker. Mr. Shandrow was willing to take the risk. In June 2009, he joined the National Federation of the Blind and the American Council of the Blind in suing Arizona State to block it from deploying the Kindle. The groups also filed complaints about Kindle pilots at five other colleges. The outcome was mixed. Since Mr. Shandrow was ineligible for the Kindle pilot, a judge dismissed him from the case for failing to identify any clear policy by ASU that will in any way impact him. But then, in January, Arizona State agreed to settle the case. Denying any legal violation, the university said it would strive to use only accessible e-book readers for a two-year period. Similar agreements were soon reached between the Justice Department and other colleges identified by the advocates. In Washington, meanwhile, federal authorities seized on the Kindle controversy to broadcast a sharp message to colleges nationwide: Requiring inaccessible e-readers may run afoul of the law. The warning came in a public letter released jointly by the Departments of Justice and Education. It is unacceptable for universities to use emerging technology without insisting that this technology be accessible to all students, the government said. Assistance from Alex Yet they continue to do just that, Mr. Shandrow says, and a visit to a darkened room in his apartment shows how. He calls this his accessibility command center. The dusty tangle of cords, headphones, gadgets, and Kit Kat wrappers gives off a vibe like a hacker s nocturnal den. Speakers above the desk fill the room with a serene robotic voice that sounds like Hal, the murderous computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey. The sound is Alex, Apple s name for one of the voice options in the text-tospeech feature that is built into Macs. Alex speaks both the words on Web pages and the stage directions that blind people need to surf them: navigation buttons, links, images, punctuation. You could spend days listening to Alex crash into inaccessibility roadblocks. There s Arizona State s new virtual student union, for instance. It s actually a Facebook application, sold to colleges by a company called Inigral. People can use it to find classmates with the same major or see if anyone has an extra ticket to the Roger Waters concert. But to do that, they have to read guidelines and click a button that says, Okay Let s get started! Or, in Alex-speak: Okay. Dash. Let s get started. Button. But Mr. Shandrow can t start, because of an accessibility flaw that is common online. Like most blind people, he controls his computer with a keyboard, not a mouse. This start button isn t keyboard-enabled. There are problems with online courseware, too. Last year Mr. Shandrow took a Spanish class that used a online workbook from a company called Quia Web. It was filled with unlabeled images. Such labels, part of the code under the hood of Web pages, are crucial because screen readers use them to describe pictures. Their absence forced Mr. Shandrow to depend on a sighted aide when he took the class. (The image problem is not limited to higher education. The Chronicle s Web site, for instance, lacks text describing many images for blind readers.) Inaccessibility is a major issue for the movement to post educational content free on the Internet. Hundreds of colleges have spent tens of millions of dollars producing lecture videos, notes, syllabi, and other free online materials. But Hal Plotkin, a senior policy adviser in the Education Department, says he would be surprised if more than 10 percent of these open educational resources are fully accessible. That flaw has dramatically held back their deployment, says Mr. Plotkin, a former community-college trustee in California. Public institutions will not use these materials, Mr. Plotkin says, because The ADA s rules may be amended to specify that the Web, just like a building, is covered by the federal law on accessibility. the lawsuits that would follow would be inevitable, and very costly. And that s too bad, because Alex also shows that some of this software is pretty attractive once past the initial hurdles. After a reporter helps Mr. Shandrow get inside the Inigral Facebook program, for example, he doesn t have much trouble moving around. In fact, he likes it. He s a tech geek with a new toy, one he admits could be a fun app. He finds a comment posted by a woman, soon to be 28, who says how nice it is that the app has a group for older students. Are you kidding? You re only 28? Mr. Shandrow says, rocking back and forth with a smile on his face. I m 37, girl. C mon! I m old! Under her post, he tries another button used for quick evaluations of Facebook posts, and it works fine: Like. Adjusting Attitudes What he doesn t like is the attitude of many software developers, who often fail to consider accessibility. When The Chronicle asks whether the Facebook application is accessible to blind people, Michael Staton, chief executive of Inigral, gives a simple answer: No. But he quickly points out that students aren t required to use it. It s all just part of the social experience, he says. Still, inaccessibility can be bad for business. One college Inigral had been talking with went with a competing product because blind people could use it, Mr. Staton says. So does he plan to make his technology accessible? I wouldn t know how to approach that at the moment, he says. Mr. Shandrow and others argue that the right approach is for universities to force companies to include accessibility by refusing to buy their products without it. What tends to happen, though, is that the issue gets dealt with later, when students report problems to campus disability-services offices. As a result of their history handling accessibility through these offices, college officials have been lulled into complacency on this issue, says Deborah Kaplan, who directed California State University s Accessible Technology Initiative until this year. An Arizona State spokeswoman declined to discuss Mr. Shandrow s specific allegations. But in general, the university bases its technology choices on cost, functionality, suitability, and accessibility, says the spokeswoman, Sharon Keeler. And ASU is committed to providing access to all programs and facilities for students with disabilities. She added, We undertake efforts to provide reasonable accommodations when the students make us aware of the need for them. Penn State, too, says it is committed to accommodating students. It complies with the law by doing things like making sighted aides available to help with inaccessible technology, says a spokeswoman, Annemarie Mountz. It s also studying new course software, including tests by blind students. What we re finding is that all of these learning-management systems have accessibility issues, she says. There are hopeful signs. California State University has shown how powerful colleges can be when they make access a high priority. The nation s largest public-college system turns its size into influence by denying problem companies access to its market of 430,000 students. That helped push Apple, Google, and Blackboard to upgrade their products for the blind. (See article this page.) Blackboard got so much better that in March, the National Federation of the Blind lauded the company for great improvement in the latest release of its course-management software. Navigation is smoother, and so are the forms, allowing blind students to do things like submit assignments and participate in discussions. Blackboard even offers a self-paced course for professors to get guidance on building accessible classes. Meanwhile, the Justice Department is considering amending the ADA s regulations to specify that the Web, like a building, is covered by the law. Alex J. Hurder, a clinical professor at Vanderbilt University Law School, says the potential changes are a big deal, because anyone in the business of preparing content for the Internet would be warned in advance that you need to take these factors into consideration when you re preparing your programs. Otherwise the market will dry up for you, and nobody will be allowed to buy them. A hearing on these issues is scheduled for December 16 in Washington. Mr. Shandrow, guided through the capital by his iphone app, will be there. Jeffrey Brainard provided additional reporting for this article. By Josh Keller San Francisco When Apple launched itunes U in 2006, dozens of prominent colleges joined the service and posted free course lectures, campus tours, and other materials. Stanford, Duke, and MIT praised the software s ability to distribute high-quality education to the public. But California State University balked. Officials at Cal State were troubled that the itunes software was impossible for many disabled people to use. Blind students and faculty couldn t use screen-reader programs with it. Closed captioning for deaf users was not properly supported. Officials approached Apple. We got a lot of glad-handing from them but few substantial fixes, says Deborah Kaplan, who until this year directed Cal State s Accessible Technology Initiative. So Cal State asked its 23 campuses not to use itunes U in most situations until these basic issues were solved. Over the past five years, Cal State has waged one of higher education s most aggressive campaigns for accessible technology. It has adopted stringent standards for vendors and employees. Along with other groups, it has helped force Apple, Google, and Blackboard to improve their software or lose the ability to reach Cal State s 430,000 students. But the system has also struggled, in ways that reflect problems that all colleges face on the Web. Recent budget cuts have reduced the number of staff members who train employees and convert materials to accessible formats. Ms. Kaplan left in July for another job and has yet to be replaced. These cuts hurt, especially because Web use has advanced to the point where anybody on campus can upload large numbers of documents and Web pages that may or may not be accessible. Cal State s dealings with Apple a few years ago, however, show the positive effects that a large university can have. In February 2008, still unhappy with itunes DAVID WALLACE FOR THE CHRONICLE Cal State s Strong Push for Accessible Technology Gets Results and itunes U, the system s chief information officer and others flew to Apple headquarters to press the company to make more significant changes. In the conversation, Ms. Kaplan recalled, Apple officials noted that no other campus had raised such forceful concerns. (Apple declined to comment for this article.) We have an unusual responsibility, given our size, to throw our weight around occasionally, says Mark Turner, director of the system s Center for Accessible Media. Those discussions were followed by additional pressure on Apple from the National Federation of the Blind and the attorney general of Massachusetts. Apple responded by rolling out changes that made itunes much more accessible to blind, lowvision, and deaf users. The company has since become a leader in making its products accessible, advocates say. But Cal State has had to pull back on some ambitious goals of its own as its budgets fell victim to the state s fiscal woes. During the time it was negotiating with Apple three years ago, the system had vowed to make all materials on all campuses meet federal accessibility standards by 2012. This year, though, the system shelved that plan. Officials at several campuses had complained it wasn t realistic with available resources. I don t think it was really understood how broad and sweeping those requirements were, what was really involved in a system as big and as diverse as CSU, says Ms. Kaplan, who is now a senior adviser on technology accessibility at the U.S. Social Security Administration. Suggestions, Not Mandates Cal State officials say they realize they were pushing too fast. Instead of trying to require complete compliance, they are now focusing their efforts on encouraging continual improvement on each campus and helping campus officials share best practices. Public colleges in most states are required to show that their technology is accessible under state laws based on Section 508 of the federal

A9 Rehabilitation Act or related standards. But Cal State s strategy shift illustrates how difficult it is for colleges to ensure full compliance. The challenges have multiplied in recent years, as the use of technology in the classroom has grown and digital media have become more complex. How, for example, can officials explain accessible ways to format a Word document to every person professor, student, and administrator who can upload materials to a course Web site? How does a campus prevent faculty members from playing uncaptioned videos in class? How can it police a Web site with a half-million pages? Short answer: It can t. Every content producer, every tech person and manager and maintenance worker this goes from the student workers who make eight bucks an hour to full professors every one of them has to understand what accessible technology is and what 508 is, says Eugene R. Chelberg, an associate vice president for student affairs at San Francisco State University. Well, boom, that s not going to happen. That, he says, is because disability officials simply don t have the resources to talk to everybody about each new technology used on campus. Even if they did, changing people s habits when they use computers can be a long, frustrating struggle, he adds. So instead, Cal State officials say they are focusing on big-ticket items. In 2008 the system raised the minimum price at which a technology contract must be vetted for accessibility, from $2,500 to $15,000. Inexpensive programs are often used by small groups, while expensive programs like learning-management systems or billing software are of- ten used campuswide. San Francisco State, for its part, has worked on improving its mosttrafficked Web sites first and then moving down the list, Mr. Chelberg How can offi cials explain accessible ways to format a document to every person who can upload one? How can a campus police a Web site with a half-million pages? Short answer: It can t. says. And instead of explaining to everybody how to make an accessible document independently, of- ficials are building a system that makes it easy for a wide variety of people to produce such material. For instance, when a group on campus redesigns its Web site, the university asks it to use a template that gives the site an accessible foundation, he says. Sites created with the template will have image descriptions used by screen readers, for instance. The university also created syllabus-building software that helps faculty members put their syllabi into accessible formats. Academ e s Balancing Act Mark Turner, the accessible-media official, says what the Cal State system has learned is when to handle things centrally and when to avoid micromanaging the implementation. The system typically handles an issue centrally if it saves money, helps establish common reporting objectives or other priorities, or provides leverage over outside vendors or companies that resist spending money to make their work accessible. But at times, the twin goals of avoiding micromanagement and gaining systemwide leverage conflict. Take textbooks, Mr. Turner says. Because faculty members, not institutions, choose which textbook to use, colleges find it difficult to band together and demand versions that can be read by screen readers or other assistive technology. As a result, publishers have been slow to make both paper and electronic textbooks accessible, he says. But requiring professors who teach similar courses to all use the same textbook would be a nonstarter. Faculty members have complained that efforts to coordinate textbook selection infringe upon their academic freedom. Acknowledging those valid concerns while meeting federal statutes like the Americans With Disabilities Act is a balancing act, Mr. Turner says. One of the gentle conversations that needed to happen in our case was to recognize that things like academic freedom exist in the context of a variety of laws, he says. Academic freedom is not something that provides a pass from, say, ADA. That conversation is critical, he says, because if professors don t insist on accessible texts, publishers won t provide them. When leverage fails, access support wanes. How Cal State Makes Course Materials Accessible Disability offices at California State University campuses translate course materials into versions that blind, deaf, or otherwise impaired students can use. This is how they do so with four common types of media: Textbook Video Microsoft Word document Web site Step 1: Plan Ahead Early deadlines for course registration and for faculty members to select textbooks help offi cials get the materials prepared. Captioning a video to be accessible to the deaf on short notice can be expensive. Faculty members can be trained to identify potential problems with videos early. Develop templates for certain types of documents, such as syllabi, to ensure accessibility. Or train faculty to produce them properly. Discuss accessibility standards with vendors of learning-management systems and other software. Step 2: Consider the Source Contact the publisher, who may have an electronic version of a textbook that could be read by text-to-speech software. It is illegal, in some cases, to caption a video without permission from the copyright holder. The owner might have a transcript of the video or might grant permission to modify it. Ask document owners if they have a version in a more accessible format. Don t rely on inaccesible Web sites to provide core services or required assignments. Step 3: Translate Cut off the spine, scan pages with optical character-recognition software, and manually edit the result for errors and formatting. In some cases, produce a Braille version. To add captions to a DVD, it might be necessary to disassemble the video files and manually type in captions and time stamps. Add more descriptive links, clearly defined text styles, alternative text for images, a larger font size, or other structural elements. Provide somebody to explain the site to affected students. Or put inaccessible text into a readable format and add captions for any online videos. Source: Chronicle reporting

A10 The Chronicle of Higher Education December 17, 2010 money & management Dear President 7 Stakeholders Share Their Views on College Quality Virtually everyone agrees that many colleges and universities fail to live up to their promise. But different people mean very different things when they raise concerns about colleges quality. one person might worry that colleges don t do enough to measure their students learning. Another might say the opposite that colleges have embraced soulless testing regimes that are far removed from the classical ideals of mentorship and humanistic learning. one person might believe there are MEASURING STICK too many business majors; another might say there aren t enough. That diversity of interests makes the project of measuring colleges quality extraordinarily complicated. For this final installment in our Measuring Stick series, we invited more than a dozen stakeholders prospective students, parents, and employers to write letters to an imaginary college president, describing how they define quality in higher education and what it would take to persuade them that a particular college is strong. on the following pages are seven letters that answer those questions. one additional contribution, from Bronwen Fetters, a highschool student in huntington, Ind., appears online at chronicle.com/quality, where articles and multimedia features from the entire series can also be found. A Parent Says Teaching and Advising Should Be the Focus Dear College President, I m an educator and the mother of four sons: one currently a sophomore at a large public university, one who will attend an elite private university next fall, another who is working his way through high school while managing dyslexia, and one finishing fifth grade. My three oldest sons have different personalities and needs. I have found we need one university that emphasizes the humanities, another that will prepare my son for a career in medicine, and one that takes seriously its role in helping students who need special assistance with reading and writing. Many universities assure parents they have support programs in place for students who learn differently, but their pledges, we ve found, are shallow. Please don t tell us you will offer our son quality help unless you can. Though our sons are very different, what we expect from their college education is the same: for their worldviews to be broadened, for their love of learning to be inspired, and for their desire to reach out to those in need to be encouraged. At the same time we expect that their degrees will lead to self-supporting lives of meaningful employment. We re also looking for colleges that put a high value on the quality of teaching. As a reading specialist, I believe teaching is as much an art as a science. I would strongly encourage you to focus less on how many articles your professors publish and more on what student evaluations say about them. It may be impressive that they are Nobel laureates, but not if students can t understand them. And from personal experience, I know that when students feel a personal connection and know you are committed to helping them reach their goals, they are much more likely to succeed. When I send my kids off to college, I want to know that their academic advisers are not only meeting with them regularly, but also getting to know them personally. Finally, please don t lose sight of why many students come through your doors in the first place: to prepare for the world of work. Make sure you re forming adequate partnerships with industry, requiring all students to complete multiple internships and have plenty of practical experiences. Sincerely, Stephanie Pratt Director Pratt Program for Students With Dyslexia Bishop Walsh School Cumberland, Md. CourTeSy of STePhANIe PrATT Students and Faculty Must Work Across Boundaries to Meet Real-World Challenges IBM university ProgrAMS Dear University and College Presidents, Working with academia has been a longtime passion of mine, and for the last two years, my full-time job at IBM. In this role, I am often asked to offer advice, from an industry vantage point, on what needs to change in universities and colleges. After much thought and discussions with others, I have distilled my advice to these four points: n help students be more interdisciplinary. Knowledge workers today need a combination of skills that spans technology, business, and social sciences. This requires three distinct parts of universities to work together and bridge their siloed boundaries. n In addition to other types of coursework, ensure that students work on real-world challenges. Design capstone and other team-oriented projects that require students in engineering, business, social sciences, humanities, and others to work together to solve problems. n Find better ways to encourage faculty who are boundary-spanners. Today s measurements (tenure, grants, salary) are optimized too much the other way. Institutions with discipline-oriented departments that seek rigor and ensure depth, as well as cross-cutting research centers that tackle real-world challenges to establish breadth, can provide ample opportunities to motivate both types of faculty. n Provide faculty and students more opportunities to connect locally and globally. Locally, they can partner with businesses, government, and nonprofits to improve regional innovation ecosystems and quality of life. They can also gain experiences, like a semester abroad, that make them more-informed global citizens. universities and colleges are already adapting in many ways, and have nimble and flexible curricula that are updated with changes in technology, business, and social trends, like business analytics and cloud computing. When IBM looks for new employees, the key is to find college graduates who are interdisciplinary, team-oriented, real-world problemsolvers andinformed global citizens. regards, Jim Spohrer Director, IBM university Programs World-Wide

A11 The Right College Should Exceed My Son s Academic and Social Expectations I am aware that there is little you can do to change the rules of the admissions game. However, because you are the official representative of your institution, I hope this letter may help you to reflect on the way the higher-education system has evolved in recent years and the way it is affecting the core mission of colleges and universities. Sometimes institutional leaders forget that mission: to prepare the next generation for life and work and to be responsible members of our society. My son is in the process of deciding which institution to apply to. Curiously, he puts little credence in rankings and prestige. I see him much more inclined to find a place where he can fully develop his potential as a student, and, more important, as a human being. During our recent visit to your university, my son was attracted by factors such as the relatively small size of classes, which may allow him to interact more with peers and with professors, and the important efforts the university is making in being more environmentally conscious. He also appreciated the variety of activities organized in connection with the surrounding community and the multiple study-abroad opportunities for students. As a parent, what I am starving for is an institution where my son can fully realize and even exceed his expectations, not only academically, but also socially. I am confident that your institution may be such a fit. Francisco Marmolejo Executive director Consortium for North American Higher Education Collaboration Rankings and Research Dollars Matter Less Than Maximizing Students Potential Surely you must remember when you were a high-school senior preparing to go to college. I am now at that stage in my life and am trying to figure out where to spend my next four years. In today s world, we seem to get caught up with some aspects of educational institutions that, for prospective students, are not highly relevant. This year, I have been inundated with fliers and e-mails from many institutions, all of them claiming to be the best in the world. I don t even read them anymore. Universities like to talk about their rankings: Our school is ranked in the top 10. That school is No. 25. They forget the most important aspect of their work: the students. What is more important? To be among the recipients of the most research dollars or to be the best in making sure that students fully develop their potential? The information I get from colleges doesn t deal with my concerns about where to apply, such as where will I feel most comfortable, where will I fit in, where will I find the most adequate community in which to live and be part of. I try to live life to the fullest, and I don t want to be a slave to textbooks and to the classroom. I m looking for a program recognized not only COURTESY OF FRANCISCO MARMOLEJO for its academic quality but also for the quality of its people. It is very important for me to attend an institution that both creates a positive community for its students and is connected to the larger community in which it is located. I hope your university is such a place. José Marmolejo Senior Catalina Foothills High School Tucson Read more of the Measuring Stick series on quality and assesment at chronicle.com/ quality.

A12 The Chronicle of Higher Education December 17, 2010 money & management Continued From Preceding Page Students Need Better Financial, Academic, and Social Support to Thrive Dear College President, Giving a good education to those already on track to graduate is only part of what colleges need to do. To produce the increased number of college graduates the nation needs, we need to do a much better job recruiting, retaining, and graduating those especially low-income students of color and African-American and Hispanic males who, without the right kind of support, will face long odds in completing college. As a college president, you should look at three critical drivers of success in educating those students who need education the most: n Reduce the cost of college. Cost is still the biggest obstacle to college completion for low-income students. Scholarships and Pell Grants often leave unmet needs. Colleges can reduce costs by, for example, sharing services with nearby institutions. n Provide a culture of care. Students, especially those who are the first in their families to attend college, need support academic, social, financial, and mentoring to thrive at college. Many schools that specialize in educating these students have had good outcomes from creating learning communities. They go a long way toward integrating students both socially and academically. n Learn from success. Colleges like Claflin University, in South Carolina; Xavier University of Louisiana; and Morehouse and Spelman Colleges serve low-income minority students with tuitions well below those of comparable institutions and graduation rates well above national averages. Other colleges could learn from these successful schools best practices. Michael L. Lomax President UNCF COURTeSY OF MICHAeL L. LOMAX COURTeSY OF MARY ANN WILLIS To Help Prospective Students Find the Right Home, Be Honest Dear CEO (Chief Educational Officer), After decades as a high-school counselor, I have a few thoughts about how colleges might clearly communicate who and what they are, so families can make good college choices. First of all, be honest about what you are and what you are not. Put less effort into soliciting applications and stop marketing your institution as one-size-fits-all. Prove to prospective students and their parents that education at your institution is about more than getting a job. Clearly show us how you prepare students to lead in a changing world, to be lifelong learners, to fly solo or in a team, to be innovative, insightful, investigative, inspirational. Provide more data that would allow prospective students to evaluate and compare educational opportunities, and understand what type of applicant succeeds at your institution. In my mind, success means graduating in a reasonable amount of time, without mountains of debt. Finally, communicate how integrity is cultivated and nourished on your campus. If someone is smart, he or she can learn calculus or nanotechnology but how does one learn how to do right? It s an obligation of colleges to try to develop integrity and character. Failing to do that means your efforts to educate students have failed. Sincerely, Mary Ann Willis College Counselor Bayside Academy Daphne, Ala. Community Colleges Must Embrace Business Partnerships and Step Up Career Advice Dear Community-College President, Your mission is more important today than ever before. Seven in 10 U.S. jobs now require postsecondary education, and your classrooms offer a vital pathway to those careers. That is why you are the fastest-growing segment of higher education, enrolling 43 percent of all college students. But meeting the needs of these students will require a new approach. Most important, your college needs to forge deeper partnerships with local industries. Close ties with businesses in which businesses advise the curriculum, teach hands-on lessons, and provide work exposure will ensure that you are training your students to meet the constantly evolving needs of your local economy. You also need to provide your students with the skills to navigate long-term careers. Adults no longer stay in one occupation over their lifetimes, and career paths rarely follow straight lines. In this rapidly changing economy, workers must learn to define their professional aspirations, assess their skills, and adapt their career plans based on labor-market conditions. The best way to foster such adaptability is to provide students with career coaching alongside their coursework, so that they can begin this important process of self-exploration in a guided setting. Many community colleges already embrace industry partnerships and career coaching, and they are playing indispensable roles in their regions economic vitality. I hope that you will embrace these strategies as well and realize your extraordinary potential as a gateway to our 21st-century economy. Sincerely, Seth Green Director Job Opportunity Investment Network (JOIN) www.joincollaborative.org COURTeSY OF SeTH GReeN Costen Aytes, landscape manager at Naropa U., plants wild tulip bulbs in a campus garden. All of the university s gardening is organic. A Landscape That Embodies a University s Values BeNJAMIN RASMUSSeN Continued From Page A1 university s two other campuses nearby, I found myself thinking that Mr. Aytes s work embodies the university s values almost as perfectly as a poem might capture happiness or disappointment. Naropa, as it happens, has a strong connection to poetry. What s now the university was founded in the early 1970s by Chögyam Trungpa, an exiled Tibetan lama who chanced to meet the poet Allen Ginsberg in New York while the two of them were trying to hail a cab on the same street, the story goes. Ginsberg, along with the poet Anne Waldman and the composer John Cage, helped organize Naropa s first summer workshop, out of which grew the university s best-known program, the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics. The name was Ginsberg s doing, of course. Now, though, the writing program is only one of the university s offerings, which also include a full undergraduate curriculum and a well-respected psychology program. All rely to some degree on meditation, people told me. As one administrator put it: You must be willing to go into yourself and see what you discover. With Mr. Aytes as my guide, I went instead into the lovely quadrangle behind the university s main building, a 1903 elementary school. The 15-acre main campus on Arapahoe Avenue, tucked away between a huge University of Colorado

The Chronicle of Higher Education December 17, 2010 A13 housing complex and the Boulder Creek Quality Inn and Suites, is in the creek s floodplain, Mr. Aytes said, and it has some of the best soil in Boulder. As a gardener, it s really easy to grow things here, he said. The location may also account for Naropa s being home to Colorado s three largest sycamores, one of them right in front of the Allen Ginsberg Library. At 98 feet tall, it s the state champion. At the far end of the quadrangle is an awkward little hillside sloping down toward a fence that separates Naropa s campus from the University of Colorado s. Mr. Aytes said the hillside was about to become a kitchen garden for Naropa s cramped, popular cafe. That is in keeping, he said, with an increasing emphasis on sustainability on local food, on native plants, and on making sure the grounds don t require more water than the climate would normally provide. All our gardening is organic, he added, noting that this makes Naropa a haven for people sensitive to pesticides. He also pointed out a sign put up by the University of Colorado noting that nudity is prohibited on its campus, which Naropa students are otherwise welcome to visit. weather station. Japanese or not, the garden is a delight, especially considering that it was a parking lot just a couple of years ago. The Paramita campus, by the way, houses the university s psychology programs. Mr. Aytes took me next to the Nalanda campus, which houses arts programs and is named for an ancient university city in India, to show me a much smaller garden he s been working on: In a triangle of earth surrounded by sidewalks, he has represented four kinds of Colorado landscape. He has also contributed to a much bigger project there, a sacred-geometry installation in which buried stacks of rocks describe a rectangle around the campus, creating, as a description puts it, a megalithic monument in weight and purpose. The project s details were lost on me they involve geomancy and lunar quadrilaterals, and I m only an English major but I got the main point, which was to create a harmonized energy field. What wasn t lost on me were the prairie-dog holes dotting a swath of the harmonious field in front of the Nalanda building, and the prairie dogs sitting up beside them. In fact, there were prairie dogs everywhere I looked, and Mr. Aytes said they had popped up in every traffic island in the parking lot. They re a cornerstone species in Colorado, he said, and in any case Buddhism s tradition of respecting all living things means Naropa would never consider trying to exterminate them. BRYanT UnIVeRsITY. The one. Still, they re a nuisance, creating holes in which campus visitors could twist an ankle or worse. So, harmonious energy field or not, the prairie dogs may have to be trapped and moved elsewhere, he said. By the time Mr. Aytes dropped me off back on Arapahoe Avenue, I was pretty sure I understood more about Naropa from seeing how its landscapes embody its values than I d ever have picked up otherwise. And no trace of skepticism remained. Gardening Harmony Mr. Aytes, 35, worked as a landscaper for the City of Boulder and later started his own firm, but he found that he spent too many evenings and weekends meeting clients and doing paperwork. What he likes about working at Naropa, he told me, is that the institution has almost no bureaucracy I come in and do what I see needs to be done. He also likes being a member of the Naropa chorus and taking part in a student s thesis project, which he described as musical dramady burlesque sexcapade. He says he practices meditation regularly and believes in the basic goodness of all humans, but I don t know if that makes me a Buddhist. In any event, he said, he doesn t identify himself as such. But when he designed a new garden to occupy 8,000 square feet of former parking lot on the university s Paramita campus the name, he said, means the land between two shores he added a series of Buddhist motifs. Five tall, narrow, colored flags represent the five wisdoms, he told me, readily translating the wisdoms as service, richness, heart, spaciousness or openness, and quality of mind or meditation. A dharma wheel he set in stone by the entry gate points toward true north, rather than magnetic north, as a reminder that you should consider your own true path rather than the magnetic pull of societal norms. A path for meditating while walking winds around a lawn, passing benches and boulders. I tried not to be overtly Japanese in the design, Mr. Aytes said, walking me past a leaning tower of stacked rocks that he included as a humorous touch.

'%&% MONEY & M ANAGEMENT MEASURING STICK Part of a series Read the entire series at chronicle.com/quality Is Your Psychology 102 Course Any Good? Here are 22 ways to measure quality but some of these measures have quality issues of their own. AFTER THE COURSE DURING THE COURSE THE INSTRUCTOR In The Chronicle s Measuring Stick series this year, we have looked at debates about how to gauge the quality of departments or entire universities. In this final week, we are looking at the individual course, higher education s basic component. We have sketched 22 potentially useful ways to assess a course s quality. Some of them are commonplace, and some are just emerging. We focus on one section of Psychology 102 at an imaginary university. For each of the 22 measures, the table below explains why it might matter; how easy it typically is for the public to find this kind of information about a course; and the potential limits and pitfalls of using the method. David Glenn Information Availability* Criteria Why They Might Matter How many degrees has the instructor earned? Doctoral study = deeper immersion in subject area. HIGH We all know a few Ph.D. s who teach on autopilot. Is the instructor full-time or part-time? Full-time status means better integration into the life of the college, higher odds of knowing how to help students there. HIGH Some part-time professors are superb teachers. Is the instructor tenure-track or contingent? Tenure-track professors are likelier to have offices and other campus resources. HIGH Some tenured professors coast. Did the instructor receive pedagogical training during graduate school? Some scholars believe that graduate students should be formally taught to teach. MEDIUM How strong are the instructor s publication and citation records? Active research program = stronger expertise. HIGH How many students are enrolled in it? Within certain ranges, students seem to learn better in smaller classes. MEDIUM Beyond 60 students, larger class sizes don t harm performance, studies suggest. How much reading and writing are assigned? Students reasoning and communication skills stagnate when their courses do not require much reading and writing. MEDIUM Page counts by themselves obviously don t reveal anything about quality. How often are students quizzed? Frequent quizzing improves fact retention, says a long line of psychological research. MEDIUM Absorbing facts is only part of the learning process. During class time, what is the ratio of lecture, discussion, and active learning activities? All else being equal, students seem to learn less in lecture-heavy courses. How much computer-assisted learning is used? In many courses, well-designed software seems to improve student performance. MEDIUM Not-so-well-designed instructional software wastes time and money. Do the assignments and exams require students to synthesize and apply facts and concepts? If you can t synthesize and apply what you ve learned, have you really learned it? MEDIUM Some courses move quickly to synthesis before students absorb basic facts. What do the students say on their course-evaluation forms? Very low scores often reflect genuine problems. LOW Students statements often don t correlate with measures of what they ve learned. How well prepared were the students for subsequent courses in psychology? In faculty-lounge conversations, 200-level course performance is regarded as the best measure of introductory courses. LOW Statistically reliable conclusions require a few years of data. How do the psychology majors in the course later perform in their senior capstones? Departments with capstones hope that introductory courses begin to build skills that students need. LOW It s difficult to tease out effects of one course that students took three years earlier. How well do psychology majors eventually perform on standardized tests for psychology majors? Test makers are marketing nationally normed subject-area tests to measure skills of new graduates in specific majors. LOW Such tests might not capture students ability to synthesize and apply knowledge. How many psychology majors in the course eventually go to graduate school? At selective colleges, graduate-school placements are an important measure of a department s quality. LOW Again, it s difficult to determine the effects of one first-year course. How many psychology majors have careers in psychology 10 years after taking the course? Some policy makers regard this as important; a few states are building databases to track long-term labor-market outcomes. ZERO Once again, isolating the effects of a single college course is very hard. What is the students average annual income 10 years after taking the course? This is another outcome that policy makers and database-builders have their eyes on. ZERO Income isn t the sole object of a college education. How well do students in this section of Psych 102 later perform on national tests of reasoning and writing skills? Colleges that participate in the Voluntary System of Accountability have promised to publicly report their average scores. ZERO Impossible to draw valid conclusions about a particular course due to small sample size. How well do students later perform on other assessments of the college s general-education learning outcomes? Many colleges have begun to define learning objectives for all of their undergraduates. ZERO Some instructors say they re being asked to add irrelevant material into classes. Did students in this section of Psych 102 continue for another year at the college at unusually high or low rates? Retention is a good thing. LOW But not if instructors improve retention by dumbing down courses. Did students in this section of Psych 102 eventually graduate at unusually high or low rates? Graduation is a good thing. LOW It, too, can be achieved through dumbing down. * Information availability is rated in four categories: HIGH: This information can often be found on c.v.'s and syllabi on colleges' Web sites.; MEDIUM: This information is less often available on Web sites.; LOW: If you call the department chair and the chair is in a candid mood, you might learn about this.; ZERO: Except in rare cases, no one compiles this information. LOW Limits of the Measures The jury is still out on how effective such programs are. Active research program sometimes = weak interest in teaching. There are superb teachers who spend all the class session lecturing. Source: Chronicle analysis BY DAVID GLENN

The Chronicle of Higher Education December 17, 2010 A15 GOVERNMENT & POLITICS Colleges Might Lose Billions if Congress Bans Earmarks Continued From Page A1 to count on more federally directed dollars anytime soon. Chancellors and provosts and vice presidents for research need to realize that this is going to be the law of the land for at least two years, says Keith Yehle, director of federal relations at the University of Kansas, which received two earmarks in 2010, totaling $2.8-million, for military-education programs and for research technology in superconductors, according to the watchdog group. They shouldn t expect earmarks to miraculously appear at this time next year. Unique Role Earmarks brought about $2.25-billion to colleges and universities in 2008, the most recent year for which The Chronicle has conducted a comprehensive analysis. Those earmarks financed about 2,300 projects, including campus buildings, research projects, and research centers. In 2010, colleges received an estimated total of $1.5-billion in earmarks, according to data from Taxpayers for Common Sense. Its tally is not directly comparable to the 2008 figure, because of differences in searching methods. Earmarks make up only a small part of colleges revenue, but with state budgets tightening and Republicans in Congress looking for domestic spending to cut, the loss of earmarks would be another blow to campus bottom lines. Several higher-education lobbyists say earmarks fill a unique role in higher-education budgets. Federal dollars can help pay for centers and schools to attract faculty in new fields; buy expensive equipment, like electron microscopes; and develop campus infrastructure. Such projects often aren t supported by competitive grants, which typically finance research programs but not the infrastructure or equipment to make those programs possible, the lobbyists say. Or the projects might Opponents of earmarks in higher education argue that such directed spending subverts peer review, to the detriment of science. Higher-education lobbyists say earmarks can fill a unique role in college budgets, helping to pay for centers and schools to attract faculty in new fields and buy expensive equipment, like this electron microscope at the U. of Kansas. be too expensive to be included in annual budgets. While hundreds of colleges have received money from earmarks over the past few decades, a moratorium would hit some harder than others, especially those that have seen a steady flow of earmarked money coming from members of Congress in powerful positions. The Chronicle s 2008 analysis of highereducation earmarks found that Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi topped the list of institutions receiving earmarks that year, receiving $40-million and $37.5-million, respectively. Sen. Thad Cochran, who represents Mississippi, is the top Republican on the Senate appropriations committee, and colleges in his state have continued to benefit from his role. In spending bills for 2010, Mississippi State and Ole Miss received $28.5-million and $30.7-million, respectively, according to the watchdog group. In the past few years, other states with prominent appropriators have included Alaska, Florida, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, and their colleges have benefited accordingly. Next year, some states that might have moved into this group as a result of the turnover in Congress might be frozen out by an earmark moratorium. A Republican from Kentucky is set to lead the House appropriations committee, and a Washington State representative is expected to take the top Democratic spot on the panel. Some multiyear projects, too, could take a hit. A handful of college programs, including a number at schools of agriculture, have earmarks that were supposed to be financed for several consecutive years. It is unclear what will happen to those programs if Congress ends its earmarking. Opponents of earmarks within higher education argue that such directed spending subverts the peer-review process to the detriment of scientific progress, financing ideas that might not be the best use of federal dollars. The Association of American Universities has at times pushed its members not to seek earmarks, although its current stance is that members are free to pursue earmarks if they wish. Some colleges argue that earmarks help them branch out into new areas, expanding their ability to receive competitive grants in the future. Because scientists are constantly developing new ideas, says Zachery Moore, director of federal relations at Pennsylvania State University, federal agencies might not update grant programs quickly enough to finance some cutting-edge ideas. Earmarks, he says, have helped Penn State conduct research in these areas. Symbol of Dysfunction Earmarks don t make up a substantial portion of the federal budget, accounting for about one-half of 1 percent of all appropriations in 2010. But members of Congress who Continued on Following Page JUlIE DENESHA FOR THE CHRONIClE JUlIE DENESHA FOR THE CHRONIClE Keith Yehle, director of federal relations at the U. of Kansas, says college officials shouldn t expect earmarks to miraculously appear at this time next year.

A16 The Chronicle of Higher Education December 17, 2010 GOVERNMENT & POLITICS Continued From Preceding Page have called on their colleagues to significantly change or end the practice say it is a symbol of government waste and an invitation to influencepeddling and corruption. And many lawmakers, especially Republicans, saw November s election as a referendum against excessive government spending. Earmarks have become a symbol of a dysfunctional Congress and serve as a fuel line for the culture of spending that has dominated Washington for too long, Reps. John A. Boehner and Eric I. Cantor, the House s top two Republicans, said in joint remarks a few days before the House Republican caucus unanimously adopted a moratorium on earmarks. House Republicans are expected to extend the moratorium to the entire chamber when they take over control in January, barring Democrats, too, from engaging in the process. Senate Republicans have also adopted a voluntary ban on earmarks, although Democrats still hold a slim majority there. However, more senators than ever 39, including some Democrats have endorsed an end to earmarks, in a December vote to block the practice. While that attempt failed, those lawmakers could stifle the earmarking process. There is a chance, though, that any ban on earmarks wouldn t stick. They have long been popular among members of Congress who see earmarks as a way to provide Congratulations to Western Michigan University s Jaimy Gordon winner of the 2010 National Book Award for Fiction for her novel Lord of Misrule This award-winning author is a professor of English and, since 1981, a faculty member in Western Michigan University s celebrated Creative Writing Program.

Lord of Misrule, McPherson, 2010 direct benefits to their districts, and who often gain political support in the process. Lawmakers are also likely to face increasing pressure to bring money back to their constituents as state and local governments begin slashing their own budgets. Given those powerful incentives for lawmakers to continue to find ways to allocate aid to their home states, and because the Senate is not expected to ban earmarks outright, the fate of such spending is up in the air. We re in a wait-and-see mode, wmich.edu States That Would Feel the Sting if Congress Outlaws Earmarks Nearly half of the $1.5-billion in earmarks awarded to colleges in the 2010 fiscal year went to institutions in just 10 states. Texas, the top recipient of academic earmarks, has six appropriators on the House and Senate committees. California, No. 3, has seven. The home states of the chairman of the Senate appropriations committee, Daniel K. Inouye of Hawaii, and the panel s top Republican, Thad Cochran of Mississippi, also made the list. 1. Texas $119,552,000 2. Mississippi $104,456,000 3. California $89,293,000 4. Alabama $79,555,000 5. Florida $73,535,000 6. Kentucky $59,234,000 7. North Dakota $54,550,000 8. West Virginia $45,467,000 9. Iowa $43,599,000 10. Hawaii $43,253,000 Total of top 10 states with academic earmarks: $712,494,000 Note: This analysis does not include $49-million in earmarks that were shared among institutions in two or more states. It also may exclude some earmarks that were awarded to centers and institutes within colleges. Sources: Taxpayers for Common Sense; Chronicle reporting by Alex Richards and Kelly Field says Penn State s Mr. Moore. Come January, Pennsylvania s Congressional delegation will comprise eight Democrats and 13 Republicans. In the meantime, colleges federal-relations officials say they still expect to talk with campus researchers next year to identify where federal money could do some good. They want to be prepared if lawmakers ask them how they can help, they said. Colleges are also working to develop other avenues and partnerships that could bring in money to make up for the loss of earmarks. One lobbyist says his college is looking to develop partnerships with federal agencies to support research facilities or projects that would be financed at least in part through the agencies operating budgets, rather than by earmarks. Other colleges say they are developing partnerships with businesses or trying to secure private money to pay for projects that would have come from federal dollars. Even if the earmark moratorium holds, colleges government-relations officers say they face much bigger fights in coming years if federal research dollars are threatened by Republicans who vow to cut domestic spending. The National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation have combined research budgets of about $38-billion, and cuts in their spending could harm colleges much more than a ban on earmarks. The dynamics of funding will change. That much we know, says James W. Tracy, vice president for research at the University of Kentucky. But where it ends up, nobody really knows.

The Chronicle of Higher Education December 17, 2010 A17 STUDENTS Who Are the Undergraduates? Explore the data at chronicle.com/undergrads Much discussion of college focuses on how to get into and pay for highly selective private institutions that charge upward of $50,000 a year. The vast majority of students, however, attend community colleges and public four-year colleges. And perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects of the American college experience is the number of students who attend part time: over 35 percent. The Chronicle crunched numbers in two data sets from the National Center for Education Statistics and found some trends that challenge accepted norms.

Students From Caribbean Med Schools Head for New York The trend angers some local medical educators, who say their students are being crowded out of clinical rotations By Katherine Mangan Thousands of students from offshore medical schools flock to teaching hospitals in the United States each year to complete the clinical portion of their education. In New York, the number of students performing third- and fourth-year hospital rotations from these offshore programs now almost equals the number of students from the state s own medical schools. That is making a number of medical educators in the state angry. They say their students are being crowded out of opportunities, in part because the offshore medical schools are paying hospitals to secure the spots ST. GEORGE S UNIvERSITY Charles Modica, of St. George s U., says it has 1,000 students training in New York. something they say their budgets prohibit them from doing. Some also say many offshore students have been poorly supervised and are inadequately prepared to practice medicine. The offshore schools counter that their students are not only qualified but badly needed at a time when the United States faces a looming shortage of doctors. The New York State Board of Regents is weighing those arguments as it decides whether to tighten requirements for offshore medical-school students to participate in clinical rotations, commonly referred to as clerkships, at the state s teaching hospitals. Students enrolled in offshore, or dual campus, medical schools spend the first two years of basic-science study in offshore institutions, mostly for-profit medical schools in the Caribbean. The next two years are spent in clinical training, shadowing doctors in teaching hospitals or clinics in the United States. Medical training in the United States generally follows a similar model. After graduating from college, students enter medical school, typically spending two years of basicscience study followed by two years of clinical rotations in hospitals or clinics. Once they graduate from medical school as doctors, they begin several years of residency training, practicing medicine under a doctor s supervision. The discussions in New York focus primarily on the third- and fourth-year clinical rotations that are part of the training students receive before they become doctors. Charles R. Modica, chancellor of St. George s University School of Medicine, in Grenada, contends that there are plenty such slots in New York, and that medical deans are using the training issue as an excuse to limit class sizes and deny New Yorkers access to medical education. Many of those students end up on his campus, which he helped found in 1977. St. George s has nearly 1,000 students in training in New York hospitals, he says. They could have attended New York medical schools, but the deans rejected them. Pay to Play New York hospitals have a financial incentive to accept as many students as possible from offshore schools, which typically pay hospitals $400 to $450 per student per week for clinical training. Since most American medical schools pay little or nothing for clinical placements, it s practically impossible for the U.S. schools to compete, says Jo Wiederhorn, president of the Associated Medical Schools of New York, an advocacy group representing the state s 10 private and five public medical schools. In order to match the fees paid by offshore programs, our schools would have to significantly raise tuitions, which would make them noncompetitive with schools in other parts of the country, she says. The hospitals in New York are operating on very small margins, and in some respects you can t blame them for wanting to accept the money. Two years ago, the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation angered New York medical-school officials by signing a 10-year contract, reportedly worth up to $100-million, to provide clinical training at its 11 public hospitals for students from St. George s. International medical-school graduates already make up 36 percent of New York state s physician work force, compared with 25 percent nationwide. Many came from one of the 14 dual-campus medical schools approved for training by the state, half of which are in the Caribbean. While the academic caliber of some offshore schools worries New York educators, so does the sheer number of students streaming in from the Caribbean. Last year, St. George s graduated 640, and Ross University School of Medicine, in Dominica, graduated 754. That compares with an average class size in New York medical schools of about 120. New York State, which has one of the nation s largest concentrations of teaching hospitals, is a popular destination for offshore students. In the 1980s, when medical educators were warning of a glut of doctors, New York medical schools severely restricted class sizes, and parents whose children weren t getting into the highly competitive schools complained to state lawmakers, Ms. Wiederhorn says. Over the next few decades, the state s education department expanded the number of offshore schools from which it accepted thirdand fourth-year students, making it easier for students who didn t get into U.S. schools to attend medical school elsewhere and end up back in New York. Last year the state education department approved an estimated 2,000 third-year students from offshore schools to train in New York hospitals (although some may have ended up spending some of their time in other states). That compares with about 2,220 from New York medical schools in 2008, the most recent year tracked. Offshore schools have increased exponentially the number of students they re accepting, and we re beginning to see a wave of students coming in, says Michael J. Reichgott, a professor of medicine at the Albert Einstein

A19 College of Medicine. Dr. Reichgott, who is also chair of the education committee of the Associated Medical Schools of New York, says he is unaware of any students being unable to land a clerkship but adds that New York schools have had to reach out to hospitals they hadn t considered before. Einstein had to take students out of a couple of sites because of the number of offshore students there, he says. Squeezed Out Two years ago, New York Methodist Hospital told officials at the State University of New York s Downstate College of Medicine that the hospital could no longer accept students into its small internal-medicine rotation because of the number of off- shore students training there, says Ian L. Taylor, the New York medical school s dean. Our university hospital only has about 325 beds, so we re very dependent on affiliates taking our students, he says. Given the massive expansion of Caribbean schools, our worry is that when the big wave hits maybe next year and the year following the problem may be more significant. Critics argue that offshore students, many of whom hope to practice in New York, are poorly super- vised during their clinical training. The few doctors appointed to over- see them are thousands of miles from the schools Caribbean base, and many have had only a cursory training in how to structure and oversee clinical assignments, they say. Accreditation requirements for U.S. medical schools dictate that clerkships expose students to a suf- ficient number of patients with diverse conditions, maintain a certain faculty-to-student ratio, and meet set educational objectives. Offshore schools generally don t dictate the same standards. We re just seeing the tip of the iceberg of what s going to be a huge quality-of-care issue, Dr. Taylor contends. Nancy Perri, chief academic of- ficer at Ross University, says such concerns don t apply to the Dominican institution, which hires clinicalfaculty members to teach and super- vise its students in New York. She adds that more than 98 per- cent of Ross s students are American citizens, many of them New York- ers who want to practice in the state. We recognize that both U.S. and international schools like Ross are needed to fill the shortage of physicians needed in the U.S., she wrote in an e-mail message. A Successful Business Model Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine, which opened in Harlem in 2007, seeks to increase the pool of minority physicians and those committed to working in underserved areas. Largely because of competition from offshore medical schools, which pay to place their students, it has been shut out of nearby hospitals, including Harlem Hospital Center, just 10 blocks away, says Joseph R. Maldonado Jr., assistant clinical dean. Instead, its 225 or so thirdand fourth-year students train in New Jersey or Queens. We recruit students from under- served neighborhood schools, but when it comes time for training, we have to send them away. It s ironic, he says. Meanwhile, the State University of New York at Stony Brook s medical school has kept its class size constant for the past three years, in part because of the difficulty of placing some students in clerkships at hospitals that have contracts with offshore schools, SUNY administrators say. Among those schools, the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine signed a contract in 2008 with Nassau University Medical Center, a Stony Brook teaching affiliate.

But state budget cuts and competition for clinical placements are making it hard for New York medical schools to expand, Ms. Wieder- horn says. A New York-based lobbyist for American University of the Caribbean, in St. Martin, which has about 250 students training in New York hospitals, says domestic schools feel threatened by the success offshore schools have had in placing students, in part by paying for clerkship positions. The Caribbean schools have developed a business model that works for them and works for the hospitals, and domestic schools historically haven t had to do that, says the lobbyist, Lisa H. Reid. Rather than squeeze domestic students out of clerkships, offshore schools have created new clinical positions and filled slots that many Continued on Following Page ELMO s P30S

Mr. Modica, the St. George s chancellor, says that so far this year, his medical school has paid New York hospitals more than $23-million for clerkships. Those costs are covered by tuition, which is comparable to that at many private schools. As for the argument that offshore students are crowding out onshore students, these are ridiculous assertions of a group of hysterical medical-school deans who should be ashamed that they didn t accept these students years ago, he says. These same deans have for years kept the enrollment of their own institutions down to a bare minimum using the excuse of quality. Todd J. Mekles, a fourth-year student at St. George s, was rejected by all 15 medical schools he applied to in the United States. He says he had a grade-point average of 3.93 from Emory University and a 30 on his Medical College Admission Test just below the 31 average for entering medical-school students in the United States this year. I was upset that I had to leave my country, but Charles Modica is my hero for giving people like me, who deserve to be doctors, a chance, Mr. Mekles says. Having worked with students from Weill-Cornell Medical College at New York Methodist, he believes his clinical experience is as closely supervised as any American program s. Students from St. George s can run with the kids from Cornell or Einstein, he says. They have the utmost respect for us and don t treat us any differently. Lumped Together While many educators are less critical of established schools like St. George s and Ross, critics often paint all offshore schools in an unflattering light. They point out that students from offshore schools tend to have lower grade-point averages and MCAT scores, if those scores are required at all. The proliferation of medical schools in the Caribbean in recent years now up to 55 has created headaches for schools like St. George s. They want to lump us all together, and I m not going to let them do it, Mr. Modica says. He welcomes the recent push to require a uniform accreditation process for foreign medical schools that train students in the United States. Among the recommendations the New York State Board of Regents is considering is that it hold offshore schools to standards comparable to those set by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, the main accreditor of American medical schools. Schools that wanted to place their students in New York hospitals would have to be able to prove that they met clearly articulated standards. As Cuts Hit European Higher Education Hard, Students Take to the Streets By Aisha Labi Across Europe, students and professors have been taking to the streets in protest. The largest demonstrations were in Britain, where last month, and again last week, thousands of students marched down London streets or occupied university halls objecting to drastic government cuts in higher education and planned tuition increases. Similar anger has manifested itself in Bulgaria, Ireland, Greece, and Italy. The direct spark for student ire in each country is unique, but the tinderbox of issues that has fed the flames of their anger is the same across much of Europe. With a few notable exceptions, European university systems are being squeezed by the twin pressures of expanded enrollments and budgetary constraints. Many countries have set explicit targets for raising higher-education enrollments over the next decade. At the same time, universities are finding themselves on the front lines of national austerity measures, as deficit-slashing governments cut education spending. In Bulgaria, the prospect of universities being unable to pay their winter heating bills drove students and professors to voice their outrage. In Ireland, a move to raise student fees by a third next year to 2,000 euros, or about $2,647, led thousands of students to brave freezing weather to demonstrate their opposition. Italian students angry over spending cuts and cost-saving limits on university research stormed the Leaning Tower of Pisa and occupied the Colosseum late last month. And in Greece, where the government has proposed a profound reform of the higher-education system, professors, not students, have been leading protests. Some countries, like Britain, have protected research from the worst. But universities teaching budgets are being hit, with direct consequences for students. A new era of LEON NEAL, AFP, GETTY IMAGES Angry demonstrators clashed with the police in a student protest outside Parliament in London last week, as Britain s coalition government faced its biggest test yet in voting to raise university tuition amid drastic budget reductions. student protest has dawned, in Britain and elsewhere, prompted by the vulnerability of higher-education financing in straitened budgetary times. They Feel Attacked Bert Vandenkendelaere, chair of the European Students Union, says the common driver for the protests is a tendency to cut the money for education and to ask students to contribute for education, instead of the public and the government. This, he says, is why a student population which was described as the most passive population in years has been galvanized into action. They feel attacked, he says. Lesley Wilson, secretary general of the European University Association, notes that student protests are nothing new in Europe. The most recent wave of student action was concentrated around the April 2009 summit of European education ministers in connection with the Bologna Process, a Europe-wide project to harmonize All systems require public funding in order to benefit from other funding. university degree systems that has unleashed its share of student opposition. It is a different set of issues now, she says. The recent flurry of protests is the result of the direct impact of moves by some governments to cut back on deficits by changing the way in which higher education is funded. As students in many countries are being asked to contribute more to the cost of their university education, the once unquestioned notion that higher education is a fundamental right for which the state shoulders the cost is in flux. A growing number of countries have increased or imposed tuition for the first time. Some, like Sweden, have begun charging tuition to non-european students while domestic students still enjoy free tuition and generous subsidies. That has prompted worries that fees for domestic students could follow. Jo Ritzen, president of the University of Maastricht, in the Netherlands, and a former Dutch minister of education, says that Europe is crying out for the serious reform of higher education, but that countries are failing to respond to the challenge. Calling the issue of how to improve quality and find lasting financing models for higher education one of the most needed topics of reform in the welfare state, he says that governments are cynically avoiding dealing with the situation and are responding to pressures instead by simply strangling universities in terms of finance. European students have rarely shied away from protest. Last year, for example, striking students in France succeeded in closing many of the country s universities for lengthy periods with demonstrations against measures to restructure the university system. The shift in Britain, however where students have historically not abandoned their studies, shut down institutions, or taken to the streets in large numbers could mark a turning point. Ms. Wilson says that the global financial crisis is continuing to have a profound effect on higher-education systems, and that the fallout for students will not let up. Still, she says, Europe s fundamental reliance on public financing for higher education must not be questioned. All systems require public funding in order to benefit from other funding, she says. This is absolutely necessary and is the starting point. For his part, Mr. Ritzen is skeptical about whether the latest wave of student action stands a chance of inspiring lasting change. He points to the reforms of the late 1960s, when, he says, a serious European effort to improve universities forged an alliance of workers and students determined to inaugurate lasting change. In the end, he says pessimistically, the workers went back to work, and the students went on vacation, which is going to happen again.

The Chronicle of Higher Education December 17, 2010 A21 Commentary Paradise Lost: The Academy Becomes a Commodity What is the place of graduate studies in higher education s current culture of accountability? At some level, at least, the question itself is moot, since there is no argumentative ground from which we could claim that anything is outside our current culture of accountability. Culture, education, and the university have become commodities and purveyors of commodities; they must answer to the logic of accountability and there is no space outside that logic. There is no particular location inhabited by graduate education, because commodification now extends its reach into every aspect of our social reality. There was a time when the social understanding of the university and of the work performed therein was defined precisely in opposition to the logic of accountability and instrumentality, but that situation no longer obtains. Triumphant global capitalism no longer needs the space seemingly outside itself and its logic in which the university, the humanities, the arts, and even a socially redemptive conception of science used to reside a space that the system needed to make a claim of humanistic superiority to its historical alternatives. The culture of accountability which is a shibboleth for the market and its commodification of everything is the horizon within which we will necessarily have to work henceforth. Challenging this state of affairs could lead us to the two distinct yet related dangers of dejection and nostalgia, because what we are facing is neither more nor less than the demystification of the rhetoric of the university, which once placed it outside the social and the economic. The current crisis of the university is a crisis of social legitimation, meaning that the conventional arguments and strategies that were used by the institution to justify its existence and social currency have collapsed. Since no social construct can exist without a legitimizing narrative, the university is trying at present to articulate a narrative that will work successfully in the current culture of universal commodification. The problem is, of course, that our former narrative of social legitimation for the university is written in a language that is untranslatable to the current circumstance. We cannot even picture ourselves as in transition, because there is no common ground on which a transition from unaccountability to hypermarketability could be conceptualized. Consider the logic of the accountability movement and its defensibility. The movement s founding assumption is that by importing the rationality, criteria, and procedures of the market into our disciplines, we will place ourselves in a position to make claims for our métier that will be understandable by the market, therefore giving us a viable platform from which to argue for the resources that we increasingly see either being withheld or, worse, taken away from us. Showing that we can set quantifiable and therefore measurable standards for a program s performance does indeed make possible the instauration of market dynamics with respect to outcomes for our students and for society at large. After all, the point of accountability is precisely to have our specific performance held up to scrutiny in the context created by the outcomes of other actors offering their own version of that same performance. In this sense it is hard to disagree with William Pannapacker when he argued recently and quite bitingly that sunlight is surely the best disinfectant for graduate education while demanding that graduate programs be required to post their placement records online for the benefit of the unsuspecting prospective customer. But while this disinfecting may allow us to identify and realize our optimal productivity, I would argue that its underlying assumptions make the project of accountability a questionable strategy for the specific crisis of social legitimation with which the university is contending. By Carlos J. Alonso Let us assume that we can achieve universal consensus on the desirability of instituting outcomes assessment among graduate programs, and that we can devise the most effective instruments for measuring, recording, and publicizing the results so that customers can buy with a degree of confidence, and so that we can make effective claims for the resources we need to either sustain current successful efforts or enhance those deemed in need of improvement. Such an apparatus would undoubtedly vouch for the fact that learning is taking place, that skills are being taught and effectively transmitted, and that students are therefore being placed by their programs in a position to vie for the best jobs in a given field. But what this utopian perspective has left unaccounted for (and I call it utopian because the achievement of the consensus it assumes is far from certain) is that the crisis of legitimation of the university is predicated not on a program s inability to show empirically and convincingly that it is delivering what it says it is delivering, but on the market s challenge to the kind of knowledge it is producing. The challenge itself is empirically based on our students enrollment patterns and preferences. How would it have profited the undergraduate and graduate faculty in foreign languages at the State University of New York at Albany to be able to demonstrate with the most sophisticated outcomes-assessment instruments that their pedagogical and programmatic goals were being met at the highest levels? This instance would seem to suggest that the accountability initiative may arise from a misconstruing of the specific challenge that universal commodification is thrusting on the university in general and on undergraduate and graduate education in particular. In other words, the crisis of legitimation we are confronting today is related more to the product that we are selling than to our inability to make that product worth buying. Accountability presumes that if we are able to show the effective transmission of knowledge and skills to our students, we will satisfy the market s requirement for verifiable results. But what if the market has already devalued from the start the knowledge on which the entire operation of outcomes and accountability is based, as well as the institution where it is produced? Facing the implications of these questions will be no simple task, but face them we must. I have no doubt that the accountability movement in graduate education is unstoppable, and that it might even introduce some welcome changes in our current practices. Yet it will not lead to the transformation of the university that, as we have all intuited in our hearts and minds by now, is still to come. douglas PAULIN For THe CHroNICLe Carlos J. Alonso is acting dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Columbia University. A version of this essay was read at the annual conference of the Council of Graduate Schools this month.

A22 The Chronicle of Higher Education December 17, 2010 Commentary Raising Graduation Rates Involves More Than Just Colleges This fall saw still more in a long line of policy reports on America s struggle to narrow postsecondary achievement gaps and improve graduation rates. The American Council on Education released its annual assessment, Minorities in Higher Education, highlighting persistent disparities within the nation s growing Latino community. And the Center for American Progress trod new ground with Easy Come, EZ-GO, advocating policies aimed at improving educational attainment for students living in metropolitan regions that cross state boundaries. Rigorous and innovative, such reports have become part of a national narrative that tells the story of a higher-education system beset with barriers and in need of aggressive and creative policy solutions. How else will we reach President Obama s goal that, by 2020, America will once again lead the world in postsecondary completion? If the past twenty-something months have taught us anything, it is that while the president s goal is straightforward, the solutions are complex. In addition to replicating proven student-retention practices, higher education needs creative approaches to educating what the Lumina Foundation for Education and others call 21st-century students : those from growing racial and ethnic minority groups, those who are the first in their families to attend college, adult learners, and displaced workers. Often attending multiple institutions across state borders, they are likely to be part-timers and to begin higher education at two-year institutions. By Lorelle L. Espinosa The challenges our higher-education system faces cannot be solved by individual colleges alone. What it needs are new and prominent allies that have a vested interest in seeing more postsecondary degrees and credentials go to those young people and adults to whom higher education has not always reached out. Some colleges, education associations, and state education officials are working with external players, but more should do so. Business leaders, civil-rights organizations, and youth-advocacy groups are right for this role. While those sectors have long looked to education as a driver of economic development and social change, their leadership is placing new emphasis on postsecondary completion. Private and corporate foundations like Lumina, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and others are drawing on social-science scholarship, public-opinion research, and a national education agenda to stimulate college-access and completion efforts with hundreds of millions of new dollars. For example, with foundation support, the Institute for Higher Education Policy (where I work) is providing space for the newly formed Coalition for College Completion, which brings together national business, civil-rights, and youth-advocacy groups to provide each organization s base with the knowledge and policy tools to advance the completion movement while building on shared interests. In the past, leading business associations have concentrated on improving elementary and secondary education and aligning school and college curricula. Now they are turning their attention to college completion. Take the Manufacturing Institute a nonprofit, nonpartisan affiliate of the National Association of Manufacturers. The institute is developing, together with community colleges in four states, a program to certify skills for advanced manufacturing careers. The emphasis is on low-income adults and workers in career transition. CEOs for Cities is building relationships with metropolitan colleges to revitalize weakened urban economies. In partnership with city governments, the nonprofit hopes to attract new workers and help the cities retain more of their postsecondary graduates. Recognizing the systemic barriers that keep low-income, first-generation, and minority students from finishing college, civil-rights groups like the National Urban League, the National Council of La Raza, and the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, or Naleo, are moving beyond issues of college access to degree completion. Naleo, for instance, is providing its members with important information on enacting higher-education completion policies. With an activist mind-set, youth-advocacy groups are moving from messages on college access and affordability to a focus on completion. According to the American Lorelle L. Espinosa is director of policy and strategic initiatives at the Institute for Higher Education Policy. Council on Education report, Hispanic and African-American youth are not reaching beyond the education level of generations before them. Groups like Mobilize.org, which was founded on a college campus, are using Facebook, Twitter, and other socialnetworking tools to mobilize students on educational and other issues. In 2010-11, the organization will sponsor a series of summits on community-college completion. Also putting students at the helm is Campus Progress, a division of the Center for American Progress, which elevates the student voice on issues like improving college completion. Each of those organizations has a distinct reason to contribute to a national conversation on what it will take to get more of our population to complete education beyond high school. Their combined efforts will advance the retention and completion goals long held by higher education. The 21st-century student is a beneficiary, whether direct or indirect, of the advocacy and forward thinking of civil-rights and youth leadership. And the businesses that will shape this century s economy are ready and waiting to expand the information-age work force. The arrival of new players to the collegecompletion discussion brings promise and uncertainty, given the need to unite the diverse goals of very different sectors. What is certain is that new players are at the table of higher education because they belong there. Taken together, the business, civilrights, and youth-advocacy sectors represent a powerful force of unlikely partners that is certain to advance postsecondary completion in America. Letters Academic Changes at Kean U. To the Editor: The admiring portrait of Kean University President Dawood Farahi in Big Changes Frustrate Faculty at Kean U. (The Chronicle, November 7) only gestures at the central issue of Farahi s tenure. Academic programs are being starved of resources as the country-clubification of the campus becomes the university s top priority. Since 2002, the year before Farahi took over: n University debt exploded from $46-million to $357-million. n Full-time faculty numbers once almost 400 are now down to 325. n Adjunct faculty increased from 455 to 1,044 and now teach 60 percent of all classes. n Student-to-full-time-faculty ratio is now 49:1, up from 44:1 last year and 32:1 in 2001. n The university s budget has grown 50 percent, from $140-million to $210-million. n Tuition and fees have risen 92 percent, from $5,121 to $9,815. Farahi s new schedule cut weekly class time by 10 minutes a loss of an entire week per semester but requires an extra trip to the commuter campus. In short, students are paying more and driving more for less education. The State of New Jersey ought to complete a forensic audit of Kean University s finances, to be conducted by an independent professional free from political influence. James A. Castiglione Associate Professor of Physics President, Kean Federation of Teachers Kean University Union, N.J. To the Editor: In the midst of a major economic downturn, colleges and universities can choose very different paths. One approach is to cut back, retreat, and rely on the status quo in the hope that things will get better. The other path is to assess operations campuswide and reconsider how we teach students from the ground up. Yes, the second path requires doing more with less. I believe that challenges offer new opportunities. As part of an academic-reorganization plan at Kean University, we considered the question n of whether or not traditional academic departments focusing on a single discipline was in the best interest of student learning. Indeed, redefining or eliminating departments is being considered on campuses nationwide. Instead of cutting back and offering fewer opportunities for our students, our academic reorganization includes new schools that offer our students more choices and the opportunity to study subjects across disciplines. The benefit of such an approach can be far more than operational cost savings. We are just beginning a transition toward executive directors leading the new schools that will support students 12 months a year. Working with deans, these teacher-scholars can also increase research opportunities for students and faculty. Administrators and faculty share the common goal of enhancing student learning both in and out of the classroom. Many of our administrators continue to teach and collaborate with faculty and students on research projects. A healthy academic unit should always adapt to changing environments; breaking down single-discipline silos to nurture cross-disciplinary learning can be viewed as one example of punctuated evolution. Jeffrey H. Toney Dean, College of Natural, Applied, and Health Sciences Kean University To the Editor: The academic reorganization at Kean University once again established an authoritarian model of governance, nothing more. It fits in the pattern of increasing the managing staff from 146 in fall 2005 to 165 in fall 2009 a 13- percent increase with no end in sight. This is what frustrates the faculty. However, this alone is not the full Kean story. There have been significant academic achievements in multiple venues, including the Science Center, the introduction of a student-oriented culture through mandatory and certifiable advisement of students through faculty, a better use of time slots and space, a focus on scholarship and research for promotion, the availability of faculty to students over a four-day schedule, and so on. It appears that these changes are being vigorously implemented. These are welcome changes and could have been and should have been implemented without sidelining n the Senate, without the elimination of academic departments that have stood the test of time, without the authoritarian model of governance, and most of all without the unprecedented building spree that has placed Kean under severe academic constraints for the foreseeable future.

S. Eliot s Poetry Christopher ricks Warren professor of the humanities, Co-Director of the editorial institute Boston University Professor Ricks will lead a careful exploration of T. S. Eliot writings. Focusing on the Collected Poems but also considering his letters and prose, this seminar will analyze Eliot s creative process by examining textual details as well as contextual reminders and re-establishings to discover how Eliot achieved the art of his poetry. He struggled to make his work appear effortless. In the details of that struggle we shall find the devils he defeated. Reading The Golden Notebook toril Moi James B. Duke professor of literature & romance studies, professor of english & theater studies, Director of the Center for philosophy, Arts, and literature Duke University Professor Moi will guide a close reading of The Golden Notebook to reach deep levels of appreciation of this remarkable text, and as a way to explore different ways of reading women s writing today. This seminar will explore some of the following kinds of reading: historicizing, political, postcolonial, feminist, Marxist, psychoanalytical, formal, literary historical, and philosophical. We will also strive to achieve some insights about when (under what circumstances) to take the author s person, the author s life, or the author s gender into consideration in literary criticism. June 26 July 1, 2011 National Humanities Center, Research Triangle Park, NC The National Humanities Center s Summer Institutes in Literary Studies give scholars the opportunity to engage a small number of literary texts deeply through close reading under the direction of leading critics. The institutes are open to scholars who have received a Ph.D. within the last ten years and who teach in departments of literature or other relevant disciplines at colleges or universities in the United States. Each seminar will accommodate fourteen participants. Each participant will receive a stipend of $1,500. The National Humanities Center will cover the cost of travel, lodging, meals, and texts. For complete details and an application, visit nationalhumanitiescenter.org/siliterarystudies. Application deadline: postmarked by March 18, 2011. This program is made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. 13 daylight saving time begins

The Chronicle of Higher Education december 17, 2010 A31 Careers in academe THE CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION an insider s Tales From a Tenure committee What can you expect when your promotion case goes before a universitywide panel? By Female Science ProFeSSor Catalyst Your tenure file is as complete as it s going to get, external reviewers have weighed in on your academic achievements, your department has voted, and your file has been sent on to the next level of review. You wait. What is going on while you wait? What happens during that next stage of tenure evaluation, while your academic fate hangs in the balance? At many institutions, such as the major research university where I work, what happens next is that a campuswide committee of senior professors reads the tenure files and then discusses each candidate in a meeting (or, if there are many candidates, in a series of meetings over the course of a week or three), and votes on whether to make a positive or negative recommendation to the dean. Depending on the size and organization of the committee, all or several of its members read the files in advance of the meeting and report on the salient features of a candidate s record. Reading a tenure dossier carefully, including examining research papers or other scholarly work and poring over teaching evaluations and external review letters, can take an hour or two for a fairly quick read (for those who are not primarily responsible for reporting on the file) to more than five or six hours for a thorough read of all submitted materials. In my view, it is important that members of the promotion-and-tenure committee not do independent research about candidates. That is: Don t do Internet searches of the candidates, don t look up their citation data (if the data are not provided in the file), and don t check out the candidate s Facebook profile. As a committee member, you may well have independent information about a candidate owing to professional or personal ties, but if those ties are significant enough, then you should not participate in that candidate s tenure vote. Members of the university-wide tenure committee do not take part in discussion or voting when they are in the same department as the candidate or are collaborators with the candidate (e.g., co-authors of papers or co-investigators on grants). Committee members should be as unbiased and objective as possible, using only the tenure file as the source of information for deliberation and decision. Although direct conflicts of interests need to be avoided, ideally one or more members of the committee will have some knowledge of the Continued on Page A33 JOBS FacULTY POSiTiOnS Humanities A40-A42 Social & behavioral sciences A43-A45 Science, technology, & mathematics A46-A48 Professional fields A49-A53 administrative POSiTiOnS Academic affairs A54-A56 Student affairs A57 Business affairs A57-A58 Deans A58-A64 executive POSiTiOnS Presidents Chancellors Provosts A64-A71 index Positions in display ads A71 HOW TO PLACE A JOB ANNOUNCEMENT A34 Writing Group of Two It makes no sense for the first person who reads your work to be the editor who will most likely reject it for publication.

A32 The Chronicle of Higher Education december 17, 2010 A Writing Group of Two It makes no sense for the first person who reads your work to be the editor who will most likely reject it for publication By RAchel TooR You buy a kind of accountability when you re with someone and you re both supposed to be working. Whenever I drive over the mountain passes from Spokane to Missoula, I have a writing summit with my friend Nancy, an English professor. We share new work and critique the hell out of it. Last summer was different. I d spent much of it living in Missoula, and each day I would trundle out of bed and head to Break Espresso, a coffee spot on the main drag, and settle in to write from 8 a.m. to noon. I did that every day. Three or four days a week, Nancy joined me. Sometimes Jeff, an economist, sat with us. I ve long been in the habit of spending my mornings writing in some public place. But when there s someone across the table from you, it s harder to sneak peeks at Facebook or look for great deals on outdoor gear from SteepandCheapcom. I ve written in this space before about the usefulness of a writing date. You buy a kind of accountability when you re with someone and you re both supposed to be working. It s like study hall there s a monitor there, and sure, you can pass notes or even whisper, but some internal bully will eventually tell you to shut up and get back to work. Last summer I got an astonishing amount of writing done, as did Nancy and Jeff; we all suffered together, over endless cups of coffee and an occasional scone. But Nancy and I did something else, too. When one of us got stuck, we asked the other for help. And by stuck, I don t mean when you have to stop looking at the page for a while and go out for a run, bake a cake, or do whatever you do when your brain needs to be reset to start working again. I mean stuck as in paralyzed. You know what you need to do, but you just can t get there. Maybe that doesn t happen to everyone. But it happens to me. And it happens to Nancy. It s easier for me when it happens to Nancy. And that s when we move from having a regular writing date to being members of the Writing Group of Two. Here s how it works. Nancy will say something like, I have to put this book proposal together. And then she will stare into space for three hours. Or start working on a syllabus for some course she might teach someday. Or search for an apartment to rent in Paris. That s when I say, OK, let s get to work. I make her think out loud and interrupt her with a stream of questions. I ask her what the argument is, and make her articulate the question she is trying to answer. I ask her why she is the right person to write the book. I tell her she has to come up with a table of contents. Nancy is a slow typist, so usually I grab her laptop and curse that rainbow-striped Apple when I can t find the right keys and make stupid mistakes. But I type as she talks. Everything is already in her head. It s not that she s stuck on the thinking part. It s that she finds it difficult to get her thoughts onto the page. So, like a translator, or a secretary, I listen to what she s saying and I record. I don t worry much about getting things right that s her job. What I do is help her produce that first impossible draft. Then it s my turn. My problem is different. I can write a first draft. But often, while I suspect it s crap, I can t figure out where it s gone wrong. The language is generally Page Proof fine. Sometimes, in fact, it s too good; fluid prose can hide hideous flaws of thought at least from the author. If you get a draft that you like, you tend to memorize it; the sentences start to seem inevitable and unchangeable. I know that once it s out there in the world, there will be people quick to point out my inadequacies, my glibness, my habit of skimming along the shiny surface. So Nancy reads my embarrassing first draft and says, usually, I think it s more complicated. Then we discuss. She forces me to refine my thinking, to deepen my questions, to broaden the implications of what I m trying to say. Like a shrink she says, This is what I hear you saying, and reflects back to me the best version of the place I m trying to get to. But, unshrinklike, she assesses my arguments, makes fun of my bad ideas, and ferrets out the weak spots. Sometimes it s depressing because she makes me realize that I have to start over and do more hard work. But if she says there s a problem, I listen because she s usually right. She may not be able to fix it for me, but I can t ignore her critique. Then we talk about how fortunate we are to have each other. That kind of exchange will be familiar to many in the sciences and social sciences, where researchers are used to collaboration. But in the humanities, we still cling to the notion of romantic genius, toiling alone in a grotto or the stacks of a library, perpetrating academic prose. Nancy likes to point out how sad and ironic it is that often the first person who reads our drafts is the editor we submit them to. Many of us are not in the habit of asking colleagues or academic friends to do the intellectual equivalent of sorting through our dirty laundry. If I didn t know Nancy so well, I would be ashamed to have her see the soiled workings of my untidy mind, my bad sentences and shoddy insights, my pathetic arguments and unhinged paragraphs. The truth is, it can be dangerous to be that vulnerable and exposed. Remember the literary parlor game for academics in David Lodge s Changing Places? The game is called Humiliation, and the goal is to reveal the most embarrassing gap in your reading. One guy gets so caught up in the competition that he discloses that he s never read Hamlet. He wins the game but loses his job. Like all satirical literature, it s funny only because we recognize the truth in it. It makes no sense for the first person who will read your work to be the editor who is in a position to reject it for publication. And there s a difference between needing to figure things out when you are intellectually stuck and becoming frozen with fear. A nonacademic friend used to say that I was fortunate in that I got to take for granted being around smart people in my job. But what s the point of being around smart people if you don t use them to make yourself smarter? Our Writing Group of Two has been more useful to me than I could ever have imagined. When Nancy and I started working together, I thought I would be getting a babysitter someone to keep me on task when I started to toddle away. What I got, though, was an editor, a sounding board, someone whose successes I take as much pride in as I do my own. When she gets a good draft done, Nancy sometimes says she couldn t have done it without me. That s not true. It just would have been harder, more time-consuming, and less fun.

The Chronicle of Higher Education december 17, 2010 A33 An Insider s Tales From a Tenure Committee Continued From Page A31 candidate s discipline, if not his or her subfield. A fair analysis of a tenure candidate requires that the committee members know (or learn) about the culture of the relevant academic discipline, particularly with respect to norms of publication numbers, venues, authorship order, conference presentations, invited talks, and student or postdoctoral advising. Considerable variation in those features exists across academe, even within science and engineering fields. Whereas one academic discipline might value short publications in highly selective conference proceedings over peer-reviewed journal articles, another requires peer-reviewed journal articles (in highimpact journals) as the primary indicator of productivity. Similarly, one discipline might alphabetize author order, another always has the brains behind the project as the last author, and another considers the first author listed to be the most important. Some fields expect assistant professors to have advised one or more Ph.D. students through to the completion of their degree, but in other fields that would be considered unusual. Because of such variations in academic culture, it is important that promotion-and-tenure committees consist of a diverse cross-section of faculty members with enough experience to be aware of the differences. During a tenure-committee meeting, the members discuss each candidate in turn, talking through any complicated or perplexing issues. Even straightforward cases can take an hour or more to discuss, especially if the committee also has the task of writing a report on its decision. Furthermore, some cases that appear to be straightforward can turn out to be quite complex once the committee members start discussing the file, especially if there are ambiguous statements in the letters from external reviewers or if the department had a split vote. A well-constructed tenure dossier for a productive faculty member doing creative research, high-quality teaching, and active advising is a joy to see. Alas, for some faculty members who fit that bill, their case gets complicated when the chair and administrative staff of their department do a poor job of putting the file together. Reviewing such files can be very time-consuming for a committee, whose members must proceed cautiously, as no tenure candidate should be penalized for the incompetence of those responsible for conveying the file to the next step of the review process. A key document in the file is an informative and believable letter from the department head explaining the department s recommendation of the candidate. One important way in which such letters vary is in how they deal with real or perceived weaknesses in a tenure case. Some letters ignore the weak spots completely and let the committee make what it will of critical comments in letters from external referees or of consistently below-average teaching evaluations. Perhaps that is intentional, or perhaps it is done in the hopes that the committee will overlook the deficiencies. Other letters mention the potential problems but provide unconvincing explanations. One particularly unwise approach, when explaining consistently poor teaching evaluations, is to blame the students. I am speaking about my own preferences here, but what I like to see in the letter from the department is an honest and useful evaluation. I want information that helps me put the candidate s record in context, such as data or impressions of the publication venues. I do not want to read extended quotations from the external letters (I can read those myself) or streams of compliments that aren t backed up with substantive information. Ideally, if anyone voted against the candidate at the department level, the letter will provide an explanation. But I know that, in some cases, the reasons are unknown; faculty members may vote no but do not volunteer any explanations. In such cases, if it is not obvious from the file, committees may assume that the department contains some reflexive no voters who, for their own reasons, vote against even apparently strong candidates. A small number of unexplained minority no votes will very likely have no effect on the committee s opinion. That raises the question: Does the university committee always go along with the department vote? If a department votes unanimously to tenure someone, does the committee basically just rubberstamp the decision? In my experience, a unanimous yes vote from a department usually indicates a strong candidate. But that is not true in every case. And the university committee does not assume in advance that it will agree with the department; only after careful consideration of the file is it clear whether the committee will agree or disagree with the department. There are many challenging aspects to evaluating a tenure file. I have mentioned a few: evaluating a field unrelated to one s own and interpreting ambiguous A unanimous yes from a department usually indicates a strong candidate. But that s not true in every case. Here is a recent thread from The Chronicle s online forums. To join the discussions, visit http://chronicle.com/forums. Comment: Have you settled at a job that is below your abilities and/or expectations for any reason, such as location, difficulty of market, cost of living, etc. And do you regret it? Response: Yes (sort of), and no. I have colleagues who tell me they re surprised I haven t moved on to a more prestigious or incomplete letters from departments. But another challenge relates to reading the letters of reference. Some letter writers may be selected (or at least recommended) by the candidate, and some by the department. The university committee needs to evaluate whether one set of reviewers is more, or less, objective than the other. At some institutions, the candidate makes a list of possible external reviewers, and the department makes a separate list. There may be overlap, in which case the department can decide whether to label a particular reviewer as the candidate s choice or the department s. Constructing a list involves complex issues for the candidate. Do you include your graduate and/or postdoctoral advisers? (Some institutions think that including those advisers is essential; others disregard their letters as too subjective.) Do you include people on the list that you are somewhat confident will be positive, or do you deliberately leave them out in the hopes that the department will select those people (thus giving their letters more independence and credibility)? Do you list superstars in your field, or do you avoid them because they might write terse letters that could be interpreted as unsupportive? And should you include foreign academics to show your international reputation, or should you avoid them because non-american referees stereotypically do not enthuse as much or as well as American letter writers? All I can say is: Good luck with that. And ask around to find out what professors and administrators at your institution think about these issues. The committee looks at all aspects of a file, discusses each candidate in a meeting, votes, and makes a recommendation. It is important for the panel to explain its decision, whether it is positive, negative, or split. The committee s report should not be cryptic, should demonstrate that the members carefully read and considered the record, and should be consistent with the overall recommendation. The university committee is just one step in a long process, but it represents a major responsibility for professors. I think a committee works best when its members serve for two to three years to ensure some continuity and experience but not for longer, so as to avoid the risk of burnout and complacency. My personal experience with tenurecommittee work is that it is extremely time-consuming and emotionally exhausting, but worthwhile and a great way to get a glimpse of a lot of excellent research and teaching. I am not eager to serve on one again, but I don t regret having done so. So if your dean invites you to share in this experience and describes it as enriching (code for long hours), say yes anyway, and then apologize in advance to your family and students. Or, if your tenure file is being scrutinized by one of these committees, know that at least some are populated by conscientious (albeit highly caffeinated) professors who take this responsibility seriously; who understand that not all assistant professors are superhuman producers of insane numbers of publications, grants, and graduate students; and who are interested in learning about your research and teaching accomplishments.

I m a star on our campus, but on a normal campus, I would be considered average. Response: Not only is it possible to find a fulfilling career in a less than ivy place, but people need to put some effort into doing so. Look at the job market. And be glad to settle.

A72 The Chronicle of Higher Education December 17, 2010 More CoMMentary InsIde: Paradise Lost: the academy Becomes a Commodity: Page a21 Carlos J. Alonso wonders whether the market has already devalued the knowledge on which the entire operation of accountability is based, as well as the institutions where it is produced. raising Graduation rates Involves More than Just Colleges: Page a22 Repayment and default rates are more closely related to socioeconomic factors than to the type of school a student attends, writes Lorelle L. Espinosa. PoInt of VIew For the past three months, The Chronicle s reporters have been writing a series of articles collectively titled Measuring Stick, describing the consequences of a higher-education system that refuses to consistently measure how much students learn. From maddening credit-transfer policies and barely regulated for-profit colleges to a widespread neglect of teaching, the articles show that without information about learning, many of the most intractable problems facing higher education today will go unsolved. Failing to fill the learning-information deficit will have many consequences: n The currency of exchange in higher education will continue to suffer from abrupt and unpredictable devaluation. Students trying to assemble course credits from multiple institutions into a single degree that is, most students frequently have their credits discounted for no good reason. That occurs not only when students transfer between the two- and four-year sectors, or when the institutions involved have divergent educational philosophies. A student trying to transfer credits from an introductory technical-math course at Bronx Community College to other colleges within the City University of New York system, for example, would be flatly denied by five institutions and given only elective credit by three others. John Jay College of Criminal Justice, by contrast, would award the student credit for an introductory modern-math course acceptable for transfer by every CUNY campus, including Bronx Community College except that BCC would translate that course into trigonometry and college algebra, not technical math. Students who emerge from this bureaucratic labyrinth should be awarded credit in Kafka studies for their trouble. Credit devaluation, which wastes enormous amounts of time, money, and credentialed learning every year, is rooted in mistrust. Because colleges don t know what students in other colleges learned, they re reluctant to give foreign courses their imprimaturs. n Taxpayers have few defenses against those who would exploit the federal financial-aid system for profit. Last year the U.S. Department of Education rightly criticized the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools for accrediting American InterContinental University, despite AIU s egregious policy of awarding nine credits for five-week courses. But the department s follow-up proposal to solidify the traditional, time-based definition of credits as signifying one hour spent within the classroom and two without was also criticized, and for good reason. Nearly a third of all college students took online courses last year. Why would anyone define credits in terms of seat time when, increasingly, there are no seats and no fixed learning time? Because they have no other basis for doing so. Lacking objective information about student learning, the crumbling quality-control triad of accreditors, states, and the federal government is faced with an unwelcome choice: Reinforce a time-based measuring stick that was already flawed when it was developed, in the late 19th century, or allow unscrupulous operators to write checks to themselves, all to be paid by the U.S. Treasury. n Upward mobility in higher education will remain limited to institutions that happen to be located in the cities favored by Richard Florida s creative class. If your campus is in Greenwich Village or Foggy Bottom, the sky s the limit. If all you have to offer is unusually good teaching, you re out of luck. How can you prove it? How would anyone know? So aspiring colleges are forced to compete for students by means of marketing campaigns, recreation centers, and other expensive things that continually drive up tuition until there are no students left to pay full freight and subsidize all the rest. And then the whole rickety system comes crashing down. It s not a question of whether this will happen to many mid-tier institutions it s when. think tank By KeVIn Carey Student Learning: Measure or Perish n The public definition of institutional quality is left to think-tank entrepreneurs and journalists with agendas to push and magazines to sell. Those who are terrified by the notion of Congress s using such information to create an accountability system for higher education should consider that, in fact, we ve had such a system in this country since 1983. It s run by U.S. News & World Report. n Most important, without information about learning, there is less learning. Faculty cultures and incentive regimes that systematically devalue teaching in favor of research are allowed to persist because there is no basis for fixing them and no irrefutable evidence of how much students are being shortchanged. RANDY ENoS FoR THE CHRoNICLE Reasonable higher-education leaders acknowledge all of those points. Yet the prevailing attitude toward information about learning still ranges from infinite caution to outright hostility. Assessing student learning is difficult, particularly learning at the elevated levels to which colleges ought to aspire. Still, possible instruments of assessment are seen as either gross violations of institutional autonomy or as so crude and imperfect that they require further refinement and study, lasting approximately forever. The perfect is the enemy of the good has become a rhetorical strategy to be deployed, rather than a problem to be avoided, when outsiders ask uncomfortable questions about teaching and learning. American universities grant 50,000 research doctorates per year. Even if we consider only full-time staff in Ph.D. programs, there are upward of 170,000 people working in colleges today who have been rigorously trained to find meaning in chaos. They explore the furthest theoretical reaches of time and space; ponder the nature of justice, beauty, and truth; develop new ways of understanding the human condition; and contribute countless innovations that make the world a more vibrant, humane place to be. Are we to understand that it is beyond their intellectual means to produce a reasonably accurate estimate of how much chemistry majors learn at Institution A compared with Institution B? That a student s relative capacity to think analytically and write clearly is a mystery that no mortal can hope to reveal? Nonsense. Comparable learning information doesn t exist because many groups have a strong interest in its not existing. Institutions that thrive on centuries-old reputations, despite their present-day failure to challenge students in the classroom. Companies looking to exploit the federal financial-aid system. Faculty who hate teaching and love research. Colleges that profit from forcing students to take the same course twice. Institutional autonomy is important, and so is the academic freedom that allows faculty to shape the content and character of their courses. But there are reasonable limits to most things, including these. When the autonomy of CUNY math departments produces a Mad Hatter credit-transfer system, it s time to draw the line. There are, of course, many people in higher education with enlightened motives and views. Public institutions are beginning to publish results from the Collegiate Learning Assessment and other assessments of critical-thinking skills. Seventy-one presidents, many from liberal-arts colleges that specialize in teaching, have formed the Presidents Alliance for Excellence in Student Learning and Accountability. The better accreditors are using their limited leverage to prod institutions toward more assessment and transparency. But the question remains: Will those efforts come fast enough or go far enough? The gainful employment regulations that the Department of Education is working to impose on forprofit colleges are nothing less than a wholesale repudiation of traditional higher-education quality control. All of the institutions in question are accredited to do business. Yet the federal government still doesn t trust that their students are learning enough for what they re paying. So the department has chosen to define learning in purely economic terms, comparing students postgraduate earnings with their debt. That makes sense for vocational programs. But how long will it be before politicians who see higher education as nothing more than a way to train future workers simply cross out the for profit limitation on the gainful-employment measures? College rankings, meanwhile, are proliferating as private companies compete to sate the growing appetite for comparative information among prospective students at home and abroad. As much as colleges complain that their unique essence can t be distilled into a single number, students choosing a college (or, increasingly, a course) can choose only one. Yet, rather than produce alternative rankings that reflect the core values of higher learning, many people in higher education seem to believe that the rankings genie can be put back in the bottle through a campaign of frequent, uncoordinated complaining, accompanied by the hope that U.S. News, which doesn t even publish an actual newsmagazine anymore, will somehow see the error of its ways. Meanwhile, a few of those 170,000 smart people are actually interested in how much students learn in college, and are using new psychometric instruments to find out. When their results become public, the myth that everyone with a college degree actually learned something will be definitively punctured, and along with it any justification for keeping information on learning hidden. The real debate shouldn t be about whether we need a measuring stick for higher education. We need a debate about who gets to design the stick, who owns it, and who decides how it will be used. If higher education has the courage to take responsibility for honestly assessing student learning and for publishing the results, the measuring stick will be a tool. If it doesn t, the stick could easily become a weapon. The time for making that choice is drawing to a close.
