Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pop Quiz on Faculty and the Law with Kent Kauffman
Q: What would you say to a faculty member wondering if they should start taking controversial topics off their syllabus?
Kent Kaufman argues that academic freedom is under attack and that instructors should perform the germane and necessary standard assessment, consider department consensus, and weigh whether a topic is worth the risk on a case-by-case basis rather than reflexively removing content.
Intentional Tech Six Years Out with Derek Bruff
Q: What advice would you give to faculty trying to stay intentional amidst fast AI changes?
Start with small, incremental teaching changes, engage students in dialogue about AI, and build coherent program-level policies rather than isolated course-level decisions; cultivate communities to share strategies and experiences.
Intentional Tech Six Years Out with Derek Bruff
Q: How do you see generative AI fitting into the 'times for telling' principle?
Bruff explains that there are distinct moments for telling with AI and times for telling about AI; the former can be used to guide learners toward confronting limits and generating curiosity, while the latter helps students navigate what AI can and cannot do, reinforcing AI literacy.
Surviving Peak Higher Ed with Bryan Alexander
Q: What do you mean by peak higher education, and how do demographics contribute to it?
Peak refers to a point where total enrollment may stop growing and start declining; demographics, especially the demographic cliff and broader demographic transition, explain why this peak is plausible and impactful for funding and workforce in higher ed.
Surviving Peak Higher Ed with Bryan Alexander
Q: What is a futurist, and how does your book Peak Higher Ed illustrate futurist work?
A futurist helps people think creatively and strategically about the future, and Peak Higher Ed uses scenario analysis to imagine how enrollment and employment in higher education could unfold under different future conditions.
