This week on Inside HigherEd, students want to go to Haiti to help…but sometimes the best help is to stay out of the way. Professors, Facebook, and students…what happens when the three collide? (See our post on that topic here.) Community colleges take an economic opportunity to acquire more space. (Is anyone here doing this?) Also, are high school guidance counselors helping their charges?
SPRING BREAK IN A DISASTER ZONE: Despite warnings urging them to stay home, college students plan trips to earthquake-damaged Haiti.
NOT SO PRIVATE PROFESSORS: Faculty try to shield their personal lives from students, but the suspension of a Pennsylvania professor over Facebook postings shows there’s no such sanctuary online.
MARCH ON EVERYWHERE! Protesters from all sectors of eduction rally across the nation, and the Bay Area increasingly resembles the center
of a movement.
BUYER’S MARKET: With enrollments booming and dollars in short supply, community colleges look to vacant commercial properties and land swaps to acquire more space.
BAD ADVICE, NO ADVICE: The high school counselors who guide students through college admissions receive poor grades in a new national
survey.
