Over the last three years, I’ve been able to take one guest, and this year Mrs. Small joined me. It was extra special today to have @CreeksideElem join us. My colleague and friend, Dr. @mbheiden, was the guest speaker for their outstanding growth in IREAD.💙@SecJennerIN @myfcs Also, a shout out to @MarianUniv for being part of the journey last year!

Accountability in higher education has to mean more than access; it has to mean outcomes. Proud to see Hunt-Kean Leadership Fellow Secretary Katie Jenner (@SecJennerIN) taking this seriously in Indiana. The Indiana Commission for Higher Education recently took action on more than 1,000 low-enrolled degree programs, consolidating, suspending, eliminating, or monitoring them after a comprehensive review of 2,300 programs. This work reflects a broader shift: aligning higher education with in-demand careers and ensuring students who earn degrees are positioned to earn meaningful wages.
