Don't be surprised if you see Kennesaw State University or University of Indianapolis follow the lead of Lindenwood to cut athletics opportunities in the coming years. The finances don't add up and there will be a tidal wave of expenses not realized by the leaders at these institutions. Analysis on KSU, UIndy: https://lnkd.in/gZEQrgKW Or for that matter, University of Southern Indiana. Analysis on USI: https://lnkd.in/g_KPQGZG University of Delaware are you paying attention? Of course they aren't. As of 2019, Delaware operated on 87% subsidy from students and the institution. Athletics is generating only 13% of its own revenue to pay its bills, and wants to move to CUSA and DI-FBS? Unwise financial decision that will lead to cuts in the near future. It costs MORE to move up a division than the new money raised. Always.

The business of sport...

🔥 Absolutely love this post! 🔥 Being a first-generation student, my experience playing baseball at the community college level paved the way for my Division 1 aspirations, my Bachelor's degree, and even a career in professional baseball. Now, I'm passionate about supporting and advocating for community college student-athletes. That's why I pursued my Masters in College Counseling and Student Development – to give back to students aiming for higher education and athletic success.

Goes well beyond what happens on the Football field.

The Role of Eton's Legacy in Resolving Royal Feuds At Eton College, where the ethos of brotherhood and lifelong bonds are instilled from the very beginning, the ongoing feud between two royal alumni starkly contrasts with the values taught within these historic walls. Eton has always been more than a school; it is a cradle of leadership and camaraderie, preparing its students to uphold a legacy of unity and mutual respect, traits expected of its distinguished graduates. The reason generations of families have entrusted Eton with the education of their sons is not solely for academic rigor but for the deeper lessons in integrity and unity. The school's foundational principles, encapsulated in the "old school tie," emphasize solidarity and discretion, urging its community to support each other unconditionally and to live up to the examples set by the great men who came before them. As two of Eton’s most notable alumni find themselves at odds, it is crucial to remember the speeches and teachings that marked their formative years. These teachings encourage resolution and understanding, not conflict. It falls upon their fellow Etonians, who share the same formative education and values, to remind them of their common ground and shared responsibilities. In times of discord, the true strength of the Etonian bond must come to the forefront. The community is uniquely positioned to mediate, guided by the very principles imparted to them at school. For if there is any group that can bridge this divide, it is those who were schooled in the same traditions and are bound by the same lifelong codes. The spirit of Eton calls for unity and reconciliation. It is imperative for all involved to reflect on the heritage that shaped them and to act in a manner that upholds the honor and history of their esteemed alma mater. History is indeed watching, and it is through these moments of trial that the true values of Eton can shine through. #EtonCollege #RoyalReconciliation #OldSchoolTie #EtonianValues #Unity #Heritage #Leadership

Count me among the students Judy Brown helped during her 43 years at Watkinson School . As a new educator, here are some #wordsofwisdom I gleaned from Judy's career: 🥉 Keep your humanity front and center. Often, this advice is applied in the context of interacting with students (e.g: see students as human), but I think that it is easier to be human as a student—especially if you happen to be a student with one or more marginalized identity—if the people in power who you interface with (that means educators in all roles) first own their own fallibility—and lives outside of work! An easy way to set these kind of humanity-affirming (and thus healthy) expectations: Explicitly say when you check your emails/other work communications in your email signature, syllabus, or any other student-facing information page. If you, for example, work from 9 to 5 on Mondays through Fridays then, this way, a student who sends an email at 6 PM at Friday KNOWS that you are not blowing them off if you respond at 9 AM on Monday. Another (more fun) way to display your humanity is to have mementos in your office or virtual space, inviting conversation about hobbies and other non-work dimensions of life. (No person is one-dimensional!) 📧 🍋 🥈 Don't forget about SMART goals. At least for me, this is something I tend to slip with as the school year / semester goes on, but they're called SMART goals for a reason! And they're smart for students and educators alike! Start a meeting with discussion of goals named (and preferably written or in some other way made "tangible") last time. End a meeting with articulation of new goals and/or refinement of previously-articulated goals. Ambition is important, but ambition without direction is a recipe for burnout. And victories of any size are revitalizing—and call for celebration! 📋 🔥 In case you need a reminder of what SMART goals are: Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Time-Based 🥇 Always maintain a curiosity stance. Enter as a co-investigator, not the judge. Combine your expertise (e.g: of a program's GPA requirements, of your class' rules around late work, etc.) with the expertise of the student (e.g: career goals, circumstances that led to work not being completed on-time, etc.). You are on the same team! And even if you do not get the result that you want, there is always a learning experience to be gleaned. 🔎 🧠 What lessons have you learned from retiring educators who touched your life? Please share in this space! 💭 #grateful #reflection #educator

Honors College alumnus Christian Johnson is grateful to his parents, Franklin and Kathleen Johnson, who instilled the value of academic excellence in their children.
