Ep. 111: Stackable and Alternative Credentials Go Mainstream
This week’s episode of The Key explores whether the emergence of shorter-term and alternative credentials pose a threat—or offer salvation—to traditional colleges and universities.
This week’s episode features a conversation about some of the hottest news developments unfolding in higher education today.
Topics include how the recent formation of a union for basketball players at Dartmouth College might help to reshape college sports, the turmoil created by the Education Department's botched roll-out of the federal financial aid form, and what Inside Higher Ed’s recent survey of college and university presidents says about higher education and about campus leaders themselves.
Joining the discussion is Katherine Knott, who covers federal policy for Inside Higher Ed, and Erin Hennessy, executive vice president at TVP Communications and an acute observer of higher education.
Hosted by Inside Higher Ed Editor Doug Lederman. This episode is sponsored by Coursedog.
