The College of Charleston is hosting Scott Jaschik, co-founder and editor of Inside Higher Ed as the culminating national speaker for the 2014 College Colloquium Series on the Future of Higher Education. Jaschik will speak on Monday, March 31, 2014 at 7 p.m. in the Stern Center Ballroom. The event is free and open to the public.
Scott Jaschik, editor of Inside Higher Ed
Jashik’s talk is entitled “Higher Ed in Flux–an examination of the top challenges facing colleges and universities today, including issues of politics, technology, the curriculum and money — and debates over who should decide on the most important issues.”
Scott Jaschik is editor and one of the three founders of Inside Higher Ed. With Doug Lederman, he leads the editorial operations of Inside Higher Ed, overseeing news content, opinion pieces, career advice, blogs and other features. Scott is a leading voice on higher education issues, quoted regularly in publications nationwide, and publishing articles on colleges in publications such as The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, Salon, and elsewhere. From 1999-2003, Scott edited The Chronicle of Higher Education. Scott grew up in Rochester, N.Y., and graduated from Cornell University in 1985. He lives in Washington.
The College Colloquium is a campus-wide reading and discussion series that was launched in 2013. Faculty and staff were invited to read and discuss four books over the course of the academic year, and to think critically about how issues treated in the books might impact the College of Charleston. The four books read were: College (Un)bound, Is College Worth It?, Paying for the Party, and The Innovative University.
