Higher Education Needs HIGHER Standards!

Rigorous doesn’t mean rigid, and raising the bar doesn’t mean longer essays and tougher exams. True academic rigor means deeper thought, sharper questions, and learning that actually prepares people for the world beyond the classroom. In this episode, I challenge the way we define “standards” in higher education, attempting to offer a more meaningful way forward. 

This week, I’m unpacking:
✔️ Why rigor should be about depth, not density
✔️ How to shift from completion to competency
✔️ Why investing in educators is key to excellence

Higher standards aren’t about harder tasks. They’re about higher expectations.
