But no one listened. Instead, as Stroebe writes, they \u201csoon became valued sources of information for university administrators, who used them as a basis for decisions about merit increases and promotion.\u201d Is it too late to return to Remmers and Guthrie\u2019s original conception?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Southern New Hampshire University President Paul LeBlanc to Step Down after Transformative 20 Years of Leadership &#8212; from snhu.edu by Siobhan Lopez LeBlanc will step down from his role as president in summer of 2024 Under LeBlanc\u2019s direction, SNHU has transformed from a small regional university to an internationally known leader in higher education, having [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[322,843,174,115,302,71,3,239,62,50,321,214],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-89812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-adjunct-faculty","category-africa","category-career-development","category-colleges","category-community-colleges","category-faculty-staff","category-higher-education","category-new-business-models","category-online-learning","category-teaching-learning","category-united-states","category-universities"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89812"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89812\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":89850,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89812\/revisions\/89850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
