    1. Increasingly, our partners are interested in building collections - or connecting to - credentials that they don’t own, issue, or offer to show learners the full pathways of learning opportunities that they can pursue.

      Example of how this gets operationalized: There will be platforms (think Naviance on big data and personalized data steroids) that will help Learners discover right fit opportunities based in part on the credentials they already have. There will be savvy institutions connecting to others' credentials so as to increase the likelihood that Learners discover those institutions' program offerings. This will be akin to a sort of skill-based SEO approach as a recruitment/admissions strategy.

    1. foster a sense of belonging and support for historically underrepresented students

      When applicants who are historically underrepresented students see themselves reflected in the current student population and observe a sense of belonging, this could lead to increased applications from certain groups. And increasing the applications should lead to increasing the admissions.

    2. outreach and recruitment programs can still target specific groups (e.g., via schools or districts that predominantly serve students of color), so long as they do not award admissions spots solely based on an individual student’s race

      Be intentional AND don't discriminate.

    1. Prof. Christina Pagel 🇺🇦. (2022, March 8). What could be causing it? Likely combo of: 1—Dominant BA.2 causing more infections (we await ONS!) 2—Reduction in masks, self-isolation & testing enabling more infections 3—Waning boosters in older people esp I worry that we will be stuck at high levels for long time. 2/2 https://t.co/xZ2SLFNVkS [Tweet]. @chrischirp. https://twitter.com/chrischirp/status/1501250081693048838

    1. This is what we can think of as the aspirational critique of meritocracy.

      Exploring the idea of aspirational critique of meritocracy is worthwhile.

      The fact that everyone gets up in arms in a case like the college admissions scandal of 2019, but not at other forms is intriguing.
