@cathyndavidson.bsky.social speaks about college debt and that most have $40K in debt but for profit college debt is three times that plus higher dropout rates. It exacerbates the problem but we're seeing a push for privatization and that's precisely what we don't want.

Higher education has as its mission to serve the public good—but rarely stops to ask how the public defines it.
One of our biggest blind spots is assuming our definition is shared. To rebuild trust, we have to listen—especially across difference.

Another blind spot in higher ed: failing to grasp the deep value of diversity. We define excellence narrowly and ask diversity to prove its worth—while taking homogeneity as the norm. It’s time to question who defines excellence and why.

Challenging times can open space for imagination.
In moments of crisis, resistance, endurance, and imagination become essential—not just to survive, but to transform.
These moments can be the catalyst for long-overdue change in our institutions.

To shape the future of higher ed, we must co-create with communities - not drop in grant by grant, but commit for the long haul. It’s about shared spaces, visibility, and building together. That can be revolutionary!

“We need a two-way street—a community of experts with and without formal credentials—who really co-produce solutions.”
