How can we bridge the post-secondary credentials gap? In this new episode of the #HigherEdSpotlight, host Ben Wildavsky sits down with Western Governors University President Scott Pulsipher to discuss how WGU’s innovative competency-based model is tackling this challenge. Two-thirds of future jobs are projected to require post-secondary credentials, but too few workers hold them. Scott explains how WGU’s new approach allows students to earn college degrees for skills they’ve already mastered, fast-tracking their preparation for the future workforce. Scott also discusses WGU’s recent acquisition of Craft Education System, a technology platform that helps convert on-the-job learning into academic credits. This acquisition supports innovative pathways that integrate work-based experiences with educational programs such as degree apprenticeships. He further unpacks the role employers can play in upskilling their teams rather than hiring externally, as well as the cultural shift required to make higher education more accessible to everyone.

Standardized testing is re-emerging—what does it mean for higher education? In this new episode of #HigherEdSpotlight, host Ben Wildavsky speaks with Nicholas Lemann, professor of journalism at Columbia University, about his latest book, ‘Higher Admissions: The Rise, Decline, and Return of Standardized Testing.’ Twenty-five years after his seminal work, The Big Test, Lemann revisits the role of standardized testing in college admissions during a pivotal moment in higher education. With debates reigniting around the SAT—particularly following the Supreme Court’s ruling overturning affirmative action and some colleges’ reinstatement of the test—Lemann explores the SAT’s history in shaping elite academic institutions and its broader impact on student access to higher education. Lemann also considers the value of standardized scores and the potential move toward evaluating students through curriculum-based mastery.
