William Harvey, the Vice President and Chief Officer for Diversity and Equity at the University of Virginia, presents a thought provoking comparison of
the rate of change of diversity and the rate of change in the adoption of technology in American higher education. He urges institutions to begin holding
staff and faculty accountable for the diversity profile of the curriculum, student body and the faculty. Lee Shulman, the President of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, speaks about the coming federal mandate for higher education accountability as an opportunity that should be grabbled and run with. He addresses the idea that we must build a culture of evidence and then monitor the work of the institution against multiple outcome measures or risk having governmental policy makers imposes simplistic measures on us. Roger Benjamin is president of the Council for Aid to Education (N.Y.) and a senior research analyst at
RAND. His Council has developed the Collegiate Learning Assessment as a non-high stakes approach to understanding what value institutions add to student
learning and who those results can help institutions guide critical reallocation decision. While acknowledging the limitations of existing accountability
measures he argues that we can measure some important things perfectly well and that there needs to be a rebalancing of content with higher order skill
in the curriculum. Panel Presentation (mp3) |
