Educational Leadership Article

This article is about how the recession is affection colleges throughout the US. It says that no one knows for sure what will happen to the higher education in the US, but it does mention some certainties and possibilities. Many colleges are getting less applications, some are hiring less or reconsidering tenure for people and other jobs. Others are canceling or postponing major investments or building plans, or making major budget cuts. People are expected to look for more leaders for the higher education through politics and businesses.

This article has a large impact on education in the US. A majority of American's go to college or have a higher-level of education at some point. This affects anyone who is currently going to college or who is planning on going to college at some point. This also has a very large impact on anyone who works for or at a college. The article also states that more presidents will come from a business background than an educational background. This will change the decisions made for the US and for education throughout the country.

I don't have a very strong opinion about the politics involved in this because I don't have a very strong opinion about politics. I do think that this will have a very large impact on education and how it is viewed. The change in education will then change other jobs throughout the country because less people might be going to colleges or getting degrees or be getting as good of an education as they should. I think its interesting that people may begin to look for leaders that are more political or business than educational. This could be a good think because these people may have different views and ideas on how to change things than the education people.
