The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!

The higher education establishment appears to be on the ropes. While the academy was once generally perceived as a fundamental bedrock institution of American society, public support for higher education has dramatically eroded, and in some circles, the approval level has plummeted well below 50%.

It’s Up to Us; and We Must Work Together in New Ways Higher education and its mission to build a democratic, prosperous, and equitable society is under attack. In legislatures and courtrooms across the country, attempts to ban books, impose educational gag orders, limit what can be taught and by whom, and defund and discredit diversity, equity, and inclusion work in colleges and universities pose a monumental threat to the nation’s future.
