Rather than lament about the shrinking generation of college-age (and college skeptical) students, a senior writer for the Chronicle, wrote an article about the potential market of older learners. Brilliant, right? But are our campuses honestly ready to serve an adult population? This is a fascinating exploration for student conduct practitioners, who might be quite a bit younger than their potential respondents. Kurt's perspective from a community college lens is particularly poignant if 4-year institutions are looking to move into the adult market.

Is This How Colleges Woo Back Students?: A movement to reinvent higher ed for working adults thinks it’s found its moment, from the Chronicle of Higher Education by Scott Carlson

Everybody has the magic answer. It's the fraternities! It's the alcohol! It's the parents! It's the University! It's the nationals! It's Title IX!

The answer is yes. And there's much more in the broken machinery that keeps our campuses having to revisit this ugly topic year after year. With special co-host Christy Anthony, we look at the issue from a "We're all Cornell" viewpoint to examine how our current systems have evolved and devolved. As an old friend of Christy's says, "The great thing about systems is that we made them. That means we can change them." Let's start now.

Colette and Kurt have a lot in common. Something they've never talked about before is how they both lost their mothers when they were fairly young in their careers. Our Ms. Behaviors hosts are both PKs (kids of school principals), and as anniversaries related to their early losses close in, they wonder what lessons they learned about their responsibilities on this earth. With some help from NYT and Atlantic writer David Brooks, Ms. Behavior helps all of us consider what our lasting legacies will be.

There was once a time college professionals wouldn't have imagined that virtual work could also be engaging work. Then came Covid, and higher ed got creative. Then came now. Some staffs use imaginative self-reinvention in response to student needs. Some employers set strict expectations of in-person work. Some employees demonstrate questionable work ethics and some employers demonstrate poor leadership. Texas A&M University at Victoria recently told its faculty to come back to campus full-time, and the professors are quitting. We all see student conduct jobs posted and reposted across the country, and can't help but wonder if there is a similar dynamic in administration.

This week, we explore the complex world of virtual work, and learn there are no easy answers here. Guest co-host Christy Anthony is a model of reinvention and creativity, and she helps us deconstruct the A&M-Victoria case study and challenge current paradigms.

In higher education, we sometimes refer a little too casually to difficult challenges as "crises," but there is a realm of the truly unthinkable. Craig Allen and his staff lived through one of the most well known campus tragedies in the country, and he not only modeled learning, but he put his experience to use by educating others. As Dr. Allen says, being trained is not the same as being prepared, but with his help, we can all be more ready. We can also implement intentional relationship-driven programs to prevent our worst nightmares. Spoiler: You might be surprised at the amount of joy and optimism this episode brings.

A note about the audio: We want to give you a heads-up that there are some portions of our guest’s audio in this episode that are difficult to understand. We’ve done everything we can in editing to improve the recording, but a few words and phrases remain indistinguishable.

We ultimately decided not to re-record this conversation. The subject is a deeply serious one—the deaths of students in a fire—and we felt that the conversation itself was too important to lose. We hope you’ll listen with a little grace for the imperfect audio and, more importantly, that you’ll find something meaningful and even profound in what our guest has to share.

We've talked about challenging work situations before, but what if you don't have the option to leave? Dr. Tiffany Shierling did her doctoral research on resilience for student conduct professionals, and we tap her brain for her findings. We know you know what we're talking about, and probably much worse. Please, generous soul, click the "Send Us a Text or Voicemail" button to tell us about your challenging situation or creative solution so we can share your story.

This episode is rated PG-13. It has the word "sh*t" in it a number of times and we don't bleep it. We are assuming you already figured that out, but just in case, here's your warning.

Your campus hears a case, issues the lowest warning it can give, and now it's on the front page because seven students have issued a lawsuit. What went wrong at Florida International University, and was there anything that could have prevented the conflict? Glad you're not at FIU? Well, we'd better all pay attention, because this legal case could set a new precedent for campus expression policies. There are so many angles to explore and we're dying to know what you think. Watch out! Kurt gets feisty at the PG-13 level, and you might, too.

You've got students, alumni, fraternity chapters and even a dad charged with participating in a massive cocaine distribution ring at Penn State University. Who are all the players and could this have been prevented? Colette and Kurt (a Penn State alum) pull the pieces apart and examine what can be learned by Penn State and all of us in the world of student conduct.
