Huckaby to speak at chamber breakfast
By Barry L. Paschal
The chancellor of the Georgia Board of Regents will be the speaker for the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce breakfast Wednesday, and organizers are hoping recent GRU controversies don’t overshadow his visit. Henry “Hank” Huckaby, entering his second year as chancellor of the state’s 31 public colleges and universities, is instead expected to discuss issues of higher education relevant to the chamber’s business-minded members, said the chamber’s president and CEO, Tammy Shepherd. Similar to previous formats for the chamber sessions, which precede and follow up all Georgia legislative sessions, Huckaby will be joined at Savannah Rapids Pavilion by members of the county’s legislative delegation, who are expected to deliver brief remarks regarding the recently ended legislative session.

Posted in David Pendered
After building more than 180 miles of trails in Georgia, the PATH Foundation is now memorialized in the name of a future trail in Atlanta – PATH400 is the name of the trail that’s to run alongside and beneath Ga. 400. …PATH is expanding outside metro Atlanta. In Carrollton, PATH is working on the campus of the University of West Georgia to build a segment of the planned Carrollton Green Belt. The job is to create a greenway through the heart of the campus by removing invasive plants, connecting pathways and building a tunnel for the trail beneath a busy road.

City’s iconic buildings face wrecking ball
Development fells historic structures. Preservationists sound alarm over city’s preservation law.
By Bill Torpy
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It was a hard, bleak winter for historic preservationists in Atlanta, a city already infamous for not saving the sign posts of its past. In December, the McCord Apartments, a three-story building on Seventh Street designed in the 1920s by Atlanta neo-classicist architect Neel Reid was devoured by an excavation machine. A Youtube video shows the wrecker saving the building’s ornate doorway for last, just before delivering the coup de grace.
In February, the 1951 Gulf Oil Building, a sleek two-story building on Ponce de Leon Avenue designed by internationally known modernist architect I.M. Pei, disappeared to make way for apartments. But what most alarmed local preservationists was a move early this year by the city to settle a lawsuit and allow the Georgia Tech Foundation to tear down most of the Crum & Forster building, built in 1926 in the Italian Renaissance Revival style, after a nearly five-year battle to build a technology center.

DNA testing is planned to determine whether human remains found last week during the search for missing college student Jmaal Keyes are that of the Paulding County high school graduate, the GBI said Monday in a statement. … The remains were collected on Cabero Road in an area adjacent to suspect Robert Kane Rolison’s Hawkinsville residence. …Keyes was last seen April 25 leaving his dormitory on the Middle Georgia State College campus in Cochran. Rolison was dual-enrolled at MGSC — where he apparently became acquainted with Keyes — and a local high school.

Teachers take refresher courses

A greater emphasis on jobs in the fields of science, technology, engineering, environmental education and mathematics, or STE3M areas, has forced curriculum changes across the United States. Timothy Goodale, an assistant professor of education in the School of Education and Teacher Preparation at College of Coastal Georgia, says a study released this week showed that careers in STE3M fields have more than doubled compared to any other field. However, the majority of employees in these fields are foreign workers who return to their native land after studying in America, forcing the U.S. to outsource positions. …College of Coastal Georgia and Honeywell Hometown Solutions are partnering for the second year in a row to offer help to teachers in these fields.

…That’s one potential application for an energy conversion technology inspired by photosynthesis, the process plants use to convert sunlight into food. Plants convert nearly 100 percent of the photons they capture from sunlight into electrons, which go through a series of reactions on the pathway to generating sugars, the team behind the technology explained. “What we are trying to do is interrupt the pathway of natural photosynthesis and then trying to deal with those electrons,” Ramaraja Ramasamy, an electrochemist at the University of Georgia, told NBC News.

A class officer ranked in the top 10 percent of the class at her California high school, Jessica Chevallier boasted a 4.o grade point average. She had everything she needed to gain admission to a top university — except $50.
Daunted by the $50 application fee, Jessica didn’t apply to the prestigious University of California campuses. Somehow, she never learned that universities waive their fees for applicants from low-income families.
Jessica shares her experiences in “First Generation,” a compelling new documentary that follows four California high school students as they struggle to become the first in their families to go to college.

Yet this coming weekend, Millar will head to Athens and try to hold back the educational revolt that threatens to wash over a two-day state GOP convention. …The talk has been building for months, and not just in Georgia. On Facebook, on Twitter, and in meetings at schools and churches, the most conservative elements of Republicanism have decided that a (relatively) new set of national educational standards called Common Core is an effort by President Barack Obama and other liberals to federalize education in the United States.

Debate Over MOOCs Reaches Harvard
By Dan Berrett
Cambridge, Mass.
Ambivalence about MOOCs, which has increasingly been voiced on campuses across the country, is also being heard among faculty members at Harvard University. While the level of unease expressed at Harvard, during a conference on Wednesday and in other venues, is not as unified or oppositional as recent statements made at American, Duke, and San Jose State Universities, it is all the more notable for arising among the faculty of an institution that has invested $30-million in a nonprofit organization that produces massive open online courses.

MOOCs and Community Colleges
By J. Noah Brown
What is the future of MOOCs and how will they blend into the higher education landscape — specifically, into the community college landscape? The “deMOOCratization” of higher education content, making courses readily available to millions of individuals who can sign up for courses online, developed and taught by faculty from the most elite institutions – Harvard University, the University of Michigan and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, just to name a few — is now a reality. And no “entry” requirements needed. It is not difficult to understand the appeal. Now anyone can participate in education proffered by a name-brand university.

Scott Jaschik, co-editor of Inside Higher Ed, will moderate a panel laden with the representatives of six LMS applications: Blackboard, Desire2Learn, eCollege, Instructure, LoudCloud, and Moodle. (For whatever reasons, conspicuously absent from the crowded list of LMS brands on the IMS panel are Jenzabar, which is the one higher education ERP provider that also offers a LMS to its campus clients, and also Sakai.) In the weeks and months that follow, most if not all these LMS groups will host their own gathering of their tribes to share campus success stories, to discuss new features and functions, and to announce new partnerships ahead of the new academic year.

Top Atlanta schools create a model for achievement
BY MARK NIESSE – THE ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION
Lambert High School in Forsyth County is the top traditional public high school in metro Atlanta, according to the state’s newest measuring stick, but its principal calls it an “un-high school.” The school of 2,353 students succeeds, principal Gary Davison says, because it has enhanced communication among students, teachers and parents while also offering a rigorous curriculum including 26 advanced placement classes. It actually shares a lot of traits with the other traditional high schools in metro Atlanta that did best on Georgia’s new report card: South Forsyth High and Cobb County’s Harrison, Lassiter, Pope and Walton high schools. They all pull students from affluent, mostly white areas with highly involved parents and academically competitive students. But Davison said his school’s version of education reform can be replicated in less well-off schools.

A culture change is sweeping across college campuses, with students more willing to speak up about sexual assaults, as in the case of the Spelman student who reported recently she was raped by students at neighboring Morehouse. Victims of sexual assault are reporting more of these attacks to counselors and the police, local and national sexual abuse prevention experts say. Beyond reporting the crimes, students are putting pressure on college leaders to take these cases seriously.

WASHINGTON — Right after the election in November, it seemed that Congressional Republicans and the Obama administration had reached a rare policy consensus: both supported requiring colleges to disclose more information about graduates’ outcomes in general, and a bill from Senators Marco Rubio and Ron Wyden that would require the disclosure of salary data (among other statistics) in particular. But the latest version of that bill, introduced Thursday, revives one of the more politically controversial policy proposals in higher education.

Hispanic high-school graduates enrolled in college at greater rates than did their white counterparts last year, according to a new analysis of Census Bureau data by the Pew Research Hispanic Center. The center’s report, published on Thursday, reveals that 69 percent of Hispanic graduates in the Class of 2012 immediately enrolled in college, compared with 67 percent of white graduates. That represents a 20-percentage-point increase in Hispanic high-school graduates’ college-going rates since 2000, when just under half immediately enrolled. Nationally, among new high-school graduates of all races, the percentage of those who entered college right away was 66 percent in the fall of 2012.

NCEE Report Urges Fresh Approach to Path to Math
by Joanne Jacobs
Community colleges expect little of first-year students — and get even less, concludes the National Center on Education and The Economy. The report paints a grim picture. High school graduates have trouble reading textbooks written at the 11th- to 12th-grade level, so instructors provide study aids to help poor readers get by. Students do little writing. When they do write, “instructors tend to have very low expectations for grammatical accuracy, appropriate diction, clarity of expression, reasoning and the ability to present a logical argument or offer evidence in support of claims.”

The shortage of affordable child care and the gender stereotypes that discourage women from pursuing careers in mathematics and science are two of the biggest barriers holding women back in community colleges, according to a report released on Thursday by the American Association of University Women. The report, “Women in Community Colleges: Access to Success,” recommends policies and practices to help women succeed at two-year colleges. It focuses on the need for affordable, convenient child care and for more-aggressive efforts to steer women into the relatively well-paying STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, or math).

Review questions salaries and perks for Florida college presidents

ASSOCIATED PRESS
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A probe ordered by Florida Gov. Rick Scott has determined that the pay and benefits of state college presidents varies widely with little explanation as to why some presidents earn large six-figure salaries. This same review shows many presidents have contracts with provisions that appear to violate law – or in some instances, the contracts automatically renew each year without approval by local college boards.

Disproportionate Paychecks
By Allie Grasgreen
If you’re an instructor in the Western Athletic Conference, the football coaches at your university and your fellow WAC member institutions are only making triple what you make. Only, because in the Southeastern Conference, the coaches’ salaries are eight times that of the faculty’s. (Well, 8.3 times as much.) That big-time coaches earn more than professors may not be a surprise, but a new study documents the striking extent and longevity of the gap: Coaches’ salaries increase year after year at much higher rates — even as many colleges say they are engaged in belt-tightening across they board — and that pattern is driven by the institutions with the largest athletic programs.

How Cooper Union’s Endowment Failed in Its Mission
By JAMES B. STEWART
Since Peter Cooper’s heirs gave the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art the land under the Chrysler Building in 1902, the school’s endowment has enabled it to offer students a high-quality, tuition-free education through two world wars, the Great Depression and multiple stock market crashes and financial crises. So why does Cooper Union now find itself forced to charge tuition of an estimated $20,000 a year, abandoning what many consider its most important legacy? This week, angry students were occupying the president’s office in protest. They might be even angrier to learn that some of their future tuition dollars could be going to support wealthy hedge fund managers who oversee some of the school’s $666.7 million endowment.

Some Pa. State Schools Allow Guns Amid Review

KUTZTOWN, Pa. — Students on some of Pennsylvania’s college campuses might be carrying more than books. At least five Pennsylvania state-owned universities are now allowing guns on campus after the state’s lawyers concluded that an outright ban on weapons was likely unconstitutional. …Pennsylvania is among 23 states that allow individual colleges or universities to decide if they’ll ban concealed weapons on campus, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Twenty-two states ban concealed weapons and five — Colorado, Mississippi, Oregon, Utah and Wisconsin — allow firearms on public university campuses.
