  • Private Equity's Failing Grade AFR PESP 031618
    Private equity’s failing grade Private equity investment in for-profit colleges For more than a decade, private equity firms have helped drive growth in the for-profit college industry in the United States, acquiring and helping to grow chains including the Art Institutes, Argosy University, Walden University, the University of Phoenix, and Ashford University. In acquiring and investing in for-profit colleges, private equity firms have turned to their regular playbook of buying companies and layering on debt, but in this case, it is the largely the federal government that provides the debt and students, especially low-income students of color, who end up with that debt, often without having received an education that prepares them for a job. While the for-profit college industry has faltered in recent years, private equity has continued to make investments, notably Apollo Global Management’s acquisition of University of Phoenix owner Apollo Education Photo: Ryan McKnight (CC BY-SA 2.0) in early 2017. As the Trump administration rolls back the greater regulatory scrutiny the for-profit college industry has faced during the last several years, it is private equity that stands to benefit the most, posing continuing dangers to students, taxpayers, and the integrity of the federal financial aid system. Private equity firms that have invested in for profit colleges include: - Apollo Global Management (Apollo Education/ University of Phoenix) - KKR (Laureate Education/ Walden University, EDMC/ Art Institutes and Argosy University) - Goldman Sachs and Providence Equity (EDMC/ Art Institutes and Argosy University) - Warburg Pincus (Bridgepointe Education/ Ashford University) - Willis Stein & Partners, Landmark Partners and Vision Capital (Education Corp of America/ Brightwood College and Virginia College) - JLL Partners (Education Affiliates/ All-Star Career College and Fortis College) - TA Associates (Full Sail University and Vatterott Educational Centers) - Quad Partners (Blue Cliff College) A more comprehensive list is at the end of this report.

  • Dissertation Completion: Higher Education's Invisible Problem
    Journal of Educational Research and Practice 2017, Volume 7, Issue 1, Pages 74–90 ©Walden University, LLC, Minneapolis, MN DOI:10.5590/JERAP.2017.07.1.06 Dissertation Completion: No Longer Higher Education’s Invisible Problem Sarah M. Marshall Central Michigan University Barbara Klocko Central Michigan University Jillian Davidson Central Michigan University Researchers agree that one in two doctoral students will not complete their degree, but there is little agreement on how to support and encourage these students in their scholarship. A qualitative inquiry was used to examine the reasons for delayed or expedited dissertation completion by doctoral students in an educational leadership program at a Midwestern university. Identified challenges of the dissertation process included imposter syndrome, writing anxiety, and overall productivity. Also identified were supports for the dissertation process, including the cohort model and strong mentorship. Findings indicated that doctoral candidates were highly influenced by personal or environmental factors and the perceived value of institutional support. Additionally, once delayed completers overcame their barriers and engaged in the dissertation process, their behaviors and strategies mirrored expedited completers. Keywords: dissertation, dissertation barriers, dissertation completion strategies, imposter syndrome, writing anxiety Introduction Students who quietly walk away from doctoral programs, burdened with guilt, embarrassment, and accumulated debt, were once considered higher education’s “invisible problem” (Lovitts, 2001, p. 4). Cassuto (2013) claimed that this attrition may have been concealed by graduate schools because it suggested institutional as well as individual failure. Programs and universities are now seeking viable strategies to address this problem with full transparency (Grasso, Barry, & Valentine, 2009). The future of higher education institutions may be dependent upon moving doctoral students to completion more successfully.

MYRON ROLLE Dr. Myron Rolle is a former NFL safety, Rhodes Scholar, and neuroscience resident at Massachusetts General Hospital. His rare combination of experience in the fields of education, sports, and medicine has taken him from the football field to the front lines, where he currently works and volunteers to aid the hospital in the fight against the COVID-19 global pandemic. Dr. Rolle was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in 2010, playing for three seasons before enrolling at the Florida State University (FSU) College of Medicine and, eventually, Harvard Medical School in 2017. Now in his fourth year of Harvard’s residency program, he credits his dedication, determination, preparedness, and adaptability forged on the football field for having primed him to successfully transition from professional sports to a career in medicine.
