HEA 610 Module Two Short Paper Rubric
Overview: Higher education is a very complex segment of our society that must consider the influences of economic, political, and societal forces. Some would
argue that an educated citizenry is the cornerstone of a democratic society, which is what our country’s roots were founded on. In 1862, the Morrill Act ensured
that every state would have an institution of higher education on public lands that would be eligible for federal support (from Handbook of Strategic Enrollment
Management, 2015). Since then, access to higher education has resulted in huge economic benefits, provided a skilled workforce, and has been the gateway to
success for generations. However, all of this is not without cost. Even with robust student financial support from the government and private entities, higher
education faces substantial financial challenges at the state and local level, at a time when advanced training and education are most needed. New demands for
smaller and leaner governmental operations have found their way to college campuses, with increased requirements for accountability and transparency. While
there is no movement to eliminate higher education, there are forces and tensions that pull at the goals of access, affordability, and retention.
Prompt: Submit a short paper analyzing the landscape of higher education. Conduct research on current events in higher education from at least two
publications on higher education (e.g., The Chronicle of Higher Education, Higher Ed, Inside Higher Ed, Ed Tech Magazine, Today’s Campus, etc.) and select one
political, economic, or societal issue currently impacting higher education. Summarize your findings and reflect on the issue’s importance.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Current Issue. Why is this issue part of the national conversation on higher education? Who are the stakeholders? Summarize the political, economic,
or societal issue currently impacting higher education. How does this issue address access, affordability, or retention? Reflect on the issue’s
importance to higher education, with an emphasis on the stakeholders and how this issue affects access, affordability, or retention.
II. Impact on Institution. How does this issue impact your institution? Explain how this issue impacts your institution, with special consideration of the
resources, efforts, and programs that may be required to support or ensure compliance.
III. Implication for the Future. What are the implications of this issue on the future of higher education? Describe how this issue has implications across
the spectrum of higher education. How do you see higher education being changed by this issue in 10 or 20 years?
