    What the Canvas Hack Revealed
    2026/05/13
    College Matters listeners, we want to hear from you. Please help us to improve our show by completing a brief audience survey at chronicle.com/podcastsurvey. Last week’s shutdown of Canvas, an online learning-management system used by thousands of colleges and schools, was a sharp illustration of higher education’s increasing reliance on technology. Students, too, are leaning on artificial intelligence and other tech tools to navigate schoolwork and campus life. All of this is being done in the name of greater efficiency, as colleges face pressure to educate and graduate students at an ever-faster clip — and students demand a frictionless educational experience. But what happens to higher education when it’s built for speed? Related Reading Canvas: Live Updates (The Chronicle) Another Undergrad is Trying to Disrupt College with AI.

  • Ken Burns Names the 'Greatest Danger' Facing Higher Ed

    Ken Burns Names the 'Greatest Danger' Facing Higher Ed
    2026/05/06
    Ken Burns, who has helped to tell the story of the nation's history through celebrated documentaries, attributes much of his success to the education he received at Hampshire College. Faced with the recent news that his financially struggling alma mater will soon close its doors, Burns is reflecting on the larger forces that helped to seal the college’s fate. Hampshire bills itself as a learning laboratory in which students are encouraged to follow their passions, driving toward a goal of personal transformation rather than the pursuit of any single vocation. If that’s not a marketable idea, Burns says, something is truly amiss in higher education and the American psyche. The nation’s “reprehensible culture wars,” Burns says, are only making matters worse. Related Reading Hampshire Announced Its Closing. Will Other Small Colleges Follow?

  • Everybody Wants to Rule the University

    Everybody Wants to Rule the University
    2026/04/29
    In recent months, politicians from both sides of the aisle have been busy exerting influence on state universities. In Virginia, a newly elected Democratic governor has quickly put her stamp on higher ed, adding political allies to university governing boards and reportedly forcing out some members with whom she disagrees. Citing concerns about recent personnel decisions at the University of Kentucky, the state’s Democratic governor declared this month that he was losing confidence in the flagship’s leadership. Meanwhile, Republicans in states across the country are ever more aggressively targeting universities over diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. Politicians and governance experts alike often extol the virtues of depoliticizing universities, but does anyone actually think that’s realistic now?
