President Franklin D. Roosevelt held his No. 1 position in the latest poll of historians and political scientists on the performance of the nation’s chief executives. The poll, conducted periodically by Siena College, was last conducted in 2002. President Theodore Roosevelt moved up a notch to the second spot, edging out President Lincoln. This is the first poll since the end of George W. Bush’s presidency, and he landed in 39th place, just making the bottom five list (and helping President Fillmore leave the bottom five)

“If federal policy makers are now willing to bail out the nation’s leading banks and buy equity stakes in auto makers because those companies are ‘too big to fail,’ they will probably have few reservations about regulating an education system that they now understand is ‘too important to fail,’” writes American Council on Education President Molly Corbett Broad in the Chronicle of Higher Education. “Regardless of party, policy makers are clearly aware of the importance of education and are demanding improved performance and more information, from preschool to graduate school. In this environment, we should expect college accreditation to come under significant scrutiny.”

“A prepaid tuition plan for private colleges is dropping a discount program that its leader described as ‘confusing’ — but for parents, it means their opportunity for an extra tuition break will end June 30,” the Tennessean reports. “The Independent 529 Plan — offered by 272 private schools across the nation, including seven in Tennessee — allows parents to prepay tuition at a discount from current prices, so long as they do it by the end of this month. After that, the plan will eliminate the ‘confusing’ discounts, said Nancy Farmer, president of the St. Louis-based nonprofit consortium that runs the plan, although families can still prepay tuition at the current year’s rates.”

Report Suggests Caution on ‘Green Jobs’ Training at Community Colleges

Enthusiasm and hype aside, community colleges should approach with caution the idea that training in “green jobs” will be the answer to the nation’s work force and economic woes, the Workforce Strategy Center warns in a new report . The report cites numerous examples of successful training programs that community colleges have developed or expanded with the $1.5 billion in stimulus money for jobs related to environmentally conscious sources of energy, but notes a relative dearth of available jobs in related fields and questions whether the “new” jobs will be really new or just shifted from other fields.

College Accreditors Criticized, May Face Tighter Oversight (Dow Jones Newswires)

“Higher education accreditors are facing new scrutiny after a U.S. Department of Education office called for the nation’s largest regional oversight group to be stripped of government recognition,” Dow Jones Newswires reports. “The Education Department’s Office of Inspector General last week recommended the Department ‘limit, suspend or terminate’ approval of the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools after it endorsed a for-profit school with questionable practices in early 2009. While it’s doubtful the agency, which oversees more than 1,000 schools, will be shuttered, insiders say the move raises questions about the overall process of higher education accreditation and heightens the specter of a regulatory crackdown.”

“Socialists believe that the way to paradise is for governments to own ‘the means of production.’ … Today’s neosocialists are smarter than their ancestors. Instead of outright takeovers, they are achieving much the same goal through rigid regulations,” writes Steve Forbes in Forbes. “Entitlements go hand in hand with sweeping, overbearing regulations. President Obama wants higher education in this country to be free of charge, which is why his Administration is pushing for a government takeover of student lending. With such powers it will be but a wee stretch to intrude even further into the governance of the nation’s colleges and universities–including, ultimately, admissions.”

“After nearly two decades of declining state support for higher education, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is stepping forward to propose restoring some funding for the California State University, the nation’s largest four-year university system,” writes Charles Reed, chancellor of California State University, in the Los Angeles Times. “He’s backing up his proposal with a threat to veto any budget that doesn’t include the $365.6-million boost for the state system for next year. While this is great news, the funding will only partially replace the ‘one-time’ budget cuts made last year, and legislative approval of the governor’s proposal is far from certain.”

This Proposed Budget Cut Called a Crippler (Opinion)

Shervin — Fri, 07 May 2010 06:00:00 +0000

SUNY’s Charter Schools Institute has been praised by the U.S. Department of Education and federal evaluators referred to SUNY policies as a strong overseer of the state’s charter schools. SUNY is one of two charter authorizers in the state, the other being the state Department of Education. A proposed state budget could significantly alter the oversight of charters and effectively take it away from a university-based oversight process.
