Last fall, I was honored to present a lightning talk at the Higher Education Web Professionals Association* annual conference. These fast-paced talks cover a topic in five minutes or less, and mine focused on using data to tell bite-sized stories. I shared the stage with four other industry professionals who spoke about building custom generative pre-training transformers (GPTs), working with design systems, showing gratitude, and overcoming workplace obstacles.
Sacred Heart University (SHU), in Connecticut, Farrington College of Education & Human Development, together with the Stamford (Connecticut) Public Schools (SPS), has launched the Para Pioneer program to address the critical shortage of special education professionals in Connecticut and increase diversity in teaching. A vital part of the program is identifying and recruiting local talent and removing barriers to success, which will lead to greater representation of local communities in public school classrooms.
Case name: Doe v. University of Southern Indiana, No. 3:21-cv-00144 (S.D. Ind. 09/24/24).
Several months ago, I was reading my local newspaper and saw an article that caught my attention. The article (about a half-page long) reported that the records of two individuals had been illegally disclosed to at least a dozen employees of an institution. The article continued by stating that the disclosures were violations of “federal privacy laws.” The article did not mention the specific laws, but of course, FERPA and HIPAA came to mind instantly.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act generally prohibits the disclosure of personally identifiable information in a student education record to a third party without consent. Importantly, authenticating the identity of a party receiving or transmitting student records is a key practice for FERPA compliance. In this context, authentication means ensuring the recipient or sender of education records is the authorized or intended recipient or sender.

Case name: Ohlsen, etc., et al. v. William Floyd School District, et al., No. 18515/15 (N.Y. App. Div. 10/23/24).
I have been reluctant to write about the potential for AI to change higher education because while there are many assumptions and predictions about AI and higher education, no one knows, with certainty, how students will learn, how faculty will teach, and how administrators will govern in an AI environment.
