When Colleges Close, Students Aren\u2019t Likely to Re-Enroll<\/strong> <\/a>— from insidehighered.com by Johanna Alonso
\nData from the National Student Clearinghouse show that fewer than half of students attending an institution that closes transfer to another institution.<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

The\u00a0study, produced by the National Student Clearinghouse and the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association, followed 143,215 students who were enrolled in 467 institutions that closed between July\u00a01, 2004, and June\u00a030, 2020. Those that closed generally enrolled larger populations of students of color than institutions that remained open\u201455\u00a0percent versus 46.4\u00a0percent\u2014and more Pell Grant recipients as well.<\/p>\n

Just under half the students whose institutions closed\u201447.1\u00a0percent\u2014re-enrolled at another college or university. Of those who re-enrolled, only 36.8\u00a0percent went on to earn a credential; 52.9\u00a0percent dropped out, and 10.4\u00a0percent were still enrolled as of February 2022. Students of color, male students and non-traditional-aged students were the least likely to re-enroll and complete a credential.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce it becomes likely an institution will close, states need to ensure teach-out agreements are in place to provide all students with a pathway for completing their credentials,\u201d the study reads. \u201cAdditionally, states need to thoroughly vet the teach-out institutions to ensure they are capable of completing the terms of the teach-out agreement and are financially viable.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When Campuses Close, Most of Their Students Are Stuck Without the Credentials They Wanted<\/strong><\/a> — from chronicle.com by Katherine Mangan<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Nearly three-quarters of the students whose colleges closed between 2004 and 2020 were stranded without adequate warning or plans to help them finish their degrees, and fewer than half of those students ended up re-enrolling in any postsecondary programs, according to a report released Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Hardest hit were Black and Hispanic students enrolled in for-profit institutions. \u201cTheir schools\u2019 closing effectively closed the doors on the students\u2019 educational dreams,\u201d Doug Shapiro, executive director of the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, said in a briefing with reporters.<\/p>\n

The research center worked with the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association, also known as SHEEO, on a series of three reports that will examine the impact of college closures on students and how states can better protect those whose education plans are disrupted.<\/p>\n

\u2018Universities must engage in lifelong learning\u2019 \u2013 UNESCO<\/strong> <\/a>— from thepienews.com by Helen Packer
\nThe future of universities depends on their ability to provide \u2018lifelong learning\u2019 that equips non-traditional students with in-demand skills, UNESCO warned last week.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

David Atchoarena, director of the\u00a0UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning, called on universities to engage with continuing and adult education at the first\u00a0Global Lifelong Learning Summit\u00a0held in Singapore in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we face salient changes in citizenship, climate change, health and wellbeing, among others, more countries are seeing the increasing importance of lifelong learning and are putting measures and strategies to make it a reality,\u201d said Atchoarena, later adding that universities should\u00a0\u201creally define their mission so that they play their role\u201d.<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

A\u00a0new report\u00a0offers guidance to community college leaders seeking to re-enroll adult learners who earned academic credits but left college without a degree or credential.<\/p>\n

The report, released today, was produced by InsideTrack, a nonprofit organization that helps institutions enroll students and improve academic outcomes through coaching.
