Diverse: Issues in Higher Education

NOVEMBER 7, 2024

As we absorb the results of the election, I find myself reflecting on a word that consistently echoes in the back of my mind: exile.

President Abraham Lincoln once said of a person, “I do not like that man; I must get to know him better.” Lincoln knew that actually knowing, and then understanding a person, would make it much less likely that you would not like them. These days, we often make snap judgments about people. We base them on little information. Then hold on to that opinion, virtually forever.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar.

Transfer students and their families often face unique financial challenges, especially when transitioning to a new school mid-year.
