In our Spring 2020 HiEd820: The College Student course, doctoral students had the opportunity to choose between writing a book review and participating in a course discussion. This assignment, created by Dr. Brittany Williams, was developed to help students explore academic writing forms beyond the traditional paper format and to give students an opportunity to interweave a book review with other assigned course readings. The following review was created by first-year doctoral student Kimberley Turner-Rush. Given the distance between the books’ publication and the changing realities of higher education in the current political landscape, this text remains relevant to all who seek to serve and support students on campus. If you’re looking for a quarantine read that can shed light on educational precarity and access issues, this book should be on your list.

LOWER ED: The Troubling Rise of For-Profit Colleges in the New Economy (Review)
Cottom, T.M. (2017). Lower Ed. The Troubling Rise of For-Profit Colleges in the New Economy. New York, NY. The New Press.
Many have viewed education as a way to change the trajectory of an entire family for generations to come (Song, 2016). Cottom’s (2017) book, Lower Ed: The Troubling Rise of For-Profit Colleges in the New Economy, provides readers insight on how students’ socioeconomic status plays a role in higher education. Cottom not only addresses attainment, but also the types of educational opportunities that are available to students as well as how the systems in place can both discourage their participation and take advantage of their desire for participation.
Championed as the great equalizer, higher education has been dangled like a carrot to lower- and lower-middle-class people as a way to climb the socioeconomic ladder to a better life.
Currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at Virginia Commonwealth University, Cottom hails from a professional background of working at both for-profit and not-for-profit institutions of higher education. Her experience provides insight into practices of enrolling students in programs that, more often than not, do not meet the expectations outlined and can often leave students in financial distress. Cottom’s disdain for these practices is evident as she proclaims, “the idea that higher education is a moral good is allowable only insofar as higher education serves market interests.”
When we remove the notion that, for many, obtaining higher education is more about job attainment and less about the social good, we are forced to look in the mirror and ask whether or not the work of higher education institutions as we currently conceive it functions for all students who are enrolling with the hope of a brighter future. Cottom provides the reader with insight or themes impacting how we, as practitioners, interact with students as well as how we should be working with populations of students who need our services most.
When reading Lower Ed, themes that practitioners should consider emerge regarding processes for recruiting and enrolling students, labor market drivers for programming, and organizational structures to support students determined to complete a college education. These takeaways should continue to be at the forefront of discussions of higher education practitioners and shape how we serve our students. It is our responsibility to rethink both our purpose(s) as higher education practitioners and our understanding of what students want (and need) from our institutions.
Recruitment and Enrollment Practices
Cottom remarkably illustrates how the “flexible solutions” offered by the for-profit schools continue to exacerbate social inequities and foster discrimination.
Students enrolling in these programs are less likely to have attended good K-12 schools that offer college prep courses. They are more likely to face food and housing insecurities (AAC&U News, 2019) and less likely to have access to standardized test prep. By seeking education at a for-profit institution, they are more likely to take on higher debt to cover the higher costs.
The not-for-profit sector must find ways to allow flexible enrollment schedules, online courses, and online program completion as just a few of the benefits students can expect. Additionally, many for-profit institutions do not require developmental courses, so students start immediately on their chosen academic path. In addition to finding ways to better accommodate the for-profit demographic, we must do so in a way that reduces equity gaps as these students are more likely to fall into a group that Anthony Jack refers to as the doubly disadvantaged (2015). Cottom indicates that students often feel pressured into signing enrollment agreements and that they do not fully understand the burden of this debt.
Doubly Disadvantaged
Jack’s (2015) work compares the experience of students of color who enter college from local, public high schools (doubly disadvantaged) and those students of color who graduate from preparatory or boarding schools (privileged poor). These distinctions are essential in understanding the needs of the students we serve. The doubly disadvantaged have had little access to the resources that make college transition smooth and college completion attainable. These students are unaware that professors expect students to reach out if they need help and expect students to seek assistance when obstacles arise. Using the close relationships with our K-12 partners, not-for-profit institutions of higher education are positioned to have discussions on how to close these gaps. If we fail to do so, we are complacent and are further enabling a system that, as Cottom indicates, continues to exacerbate social inequities and fosters discrimination.
Labor Market Drivers
Students enrolled in for-profit institutions tend to be women, people of color, and single parents who are of lower socioeconomic status than their traditional college peers (Cottom, 2017). For many of these individuals, a college education provides preparation for a job, knowledge needed for a better job, or credentials required to pursue a coveted position and be competitive in the job market.
While access barriers are a large driver to for-profit undergraduate programs, why do for-profit graduate degrees continue to flourish? Cottom offers one example that focuses on a group of black women enrolled in online PhD programs offered mainly through the University of Phoenix, Capella University, and Walden University. These women, known as Sisters Working to Achieve Greatness (SWAG), are obtaining what Cottom refers to as up-market degrees at a much higher cost without the off-setting opportunities such as teaching assistantships or institutional aid. Up-market degrees are “credential sequences that start at the lower level, with higher degrees stacked on top as demand increases” (Cottom, 2017). The women of SWAG are spending $92,000 to $180,000 for degrees (up to and including the doctorate) through student loans. While these women see the cost as a good investment, others Cottom follows view education as a means to add letters behind their name for the perceived prestige those letters provide.
Organizational Structure and Student Support
One way that community colleges strive to support students is through innovation and wrap-around services such as childcare resources, tutoring, transportation, etc. (Dembicki, 2019).
Cottom counters with the fact that the understaffing of community colleges in service areas, overcrowding, and demands of remedial or developmental courses put strains on these institutions and leave students to overcome these obstacles on their own. Obstacles that students are less likely to face in the for-profit sector.
It is evident that the current not-for-profit systems are not meeting students’ needs in overcoming these obstacles. Much of this relates to the difference in funding structures between not-for-profit and for-profit institutions. To improve these systems and be better positioned to meet the needs of students, community colleges (and four-year institutions) will need a better funding model that offers incentives for the necessary changes to be made. Until then, Cottom offers focus areas (themes) that practitioners can use when developing or updating services and programs that serve the students most in need of our support. Perhaps we should all heed her advice.

Britons have revealed the top 30 things they
love the most about UK staycations with coastal walks topping the list followed by fish and chips and
rambling through the countryside.
Researchers asked UK adults what their favourite things about holidaying closer to home are,
with sightseeing coming fourth and visiting the seaside fifth.
The rest of the top 10 comprises strolling along a pier
(sixth), a cold drink in a beer garden (seventh), Sunday
lunches at the pub (eighth), avoiding airports (ninth) and tucking
into Mr Whippy ice creams (10th).
Britons have revealed the top 30 things they love the most about UK staycations, with
coastal walks taking the No1 spot. Pictured is Cuckmere Haven in East Sussex
Having picnics (12th), playing on penny pusher machines at
the arcade (15th) and miniature golf (24th) also feature in the top 30 ranking, along with not having to worry about
creepy crawlies as you do when you go abroad (28th).
But sadly, the British seaside tradition of buying
sticks of rock didn’t quite make the top 30 list.
According to the research, commissioned by Sykes Holiday Cottages, more
than eight in 10 adults have been on a British holiday previously,
and 29 per cent already have plans for one this year.

The study also found that Britons enjoy UK breaks for the nostalgia factor, the
often shorter travel time, being able to speak the language and the
opportunity to take the dog with them.
And more than a third reckon they are more likely to
opt for a holiday at home this year.
Nearly three-fifths are going on a staycation as they just want to get away from their home,
while a third want to avoid flying due to coronavirus.
A fifth are simply hoping to save a bit of money.
Britons said the second best thing about a UK staycation is fish and chips

A multimillionaire who bankrolled a host of ‘teal’ climate independents has drawn criticism
for comparing Scott Morrison’s popularity to a paedophile.
Businessman and climate activist Simon Holmes à Court posted of a photo of the former prime
minister with Donald Trump and their wives at a New Year’s Eve party earlier this week, with
a controversial caption.
‘If (Mr Morrison) ever reads the replies to this tweet, it’ll be the second time
he’ll have wished he could stay in the US and avoid ever coming back home,’ he wrote.
‘Morrison is almost as popular as Rolf Harris,’ Holmes à Court added, comparing the
Liberal Party stalwart to the late Australian entertainer
who was a convicted child sex offender.
The response to Mr Holmes à Court’s comment was swift and brutal, with one woman branding him ‘a sick attention seeker.
How disgusting’.
‘No matter your opinion of ScoMo this comparison is beyond contempt.
You should be ashamed of yourself, but we all know you love s*** stirring
purely for attention, ‘ she wrote.
Another added: ‘It really doesn’t take much to pull back
the thin veneer of civility and expose the nasty piece of
work lurking underneath left-wing activists like this one.
‘Here – the great one – compares a former prime minister to a convicted sex offender, all because he doesn’t
like Morrison’s politics.’

Politicians also slammed Mr Holmes à Court, with Liberal Senator James Paterson saying ‘It’s deranged to
compare a former Prime Minister with a convicted child sex offender, and that it reflects on Simon Holmes
à Court not Scott Morrison.’
Mr Paterson also called on teal MPs elected with the help
of his money, to say where they stand on the comments.
‘As the primary funder of the teal MPs, Holmes à Court’s wacky views
do matter,’ he told Daily Mail Australia.
‘A hung parliament at the next election could give the teals immense influence over the
foreign and national security policy of a minority Albanese government.
‘The teals should assure their electorates and the Australian people they won’t allow Holmes à Court
to dictate policy on AUKUS or the US alliance.

at Southwark Crown Court in central London on June 30, 2014
‘In a dangerous world the last thing we need is reckless and irresponsible views like these influencing our
foreign and defence policy.’
One of those teal MPs, Kylea Tink, who represents North Sydney, told The
Australian that ‘Simon Holmes à Court’s opinions are
his own.
‘He was not, nor has never been, my chief fundraiser and I
have never consulted him on policy.’
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Mr Holmes à Court and Ms Tink for further
comment.

The Dallas Mavericks haven’t yet revealed how long star guard Luka Doncic will
be sidelined after he injured his left calf on Christmas Day.
But this much is known: Doncic won’t be on the court when the Mavericks open a four-game road swing against the Phoenix Suns on Friday night.
Doncic strained the calf on a seemingly harmless play during the second quarter
of a 105-99 loss to the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves.
He reportedly was slated to undergo an MRI exam on Thursday.
Some reports have floated that Doncic will be out for an extended time and Dallas players are
bracing to be without the squad’s top player.
“It’s an opportunity for one (or more) of us to step up,” Dallas guard Klay Thompson told reporters.
“It can be done. He’s obviously our best player, but we got to be tested, and this is a good test ahead.”
Doncic has missed eight games this season, and the Mavericks fared well without him, going 6-2.
One of the victories was on the road against the powerful Oklahoma City Thunder, when P.J.
Washington stepped up with season highs of 27 points and 17 rebounds.
Dallas coach Jason Kidd is counting on his team maintaining
its current level of play. The loss to the Timberwolves was just the
team’s fourth in the past 18 games.
“I think this is a group that can win, and they believe that,” Kidd said.
“But we also need him.”
Him is Doncic, who is averaging 28.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.8 assists in 22 games this season.
Last season, the 25-year-old finished third in MVP voting, his
third top-five finish in the past five seasons.
Doncic scored 14 points in 16 minutes before exiting against
the Timberwolves. Dallas trailed by as many as
28 in the game before staging a big comeback bid that fell short.
The Mavericks’ Kyrie Irving took over with 39 points, his second-best output of the season.
Mavericks big man Dereck Lively II (left hip) is questionable for Friday.
He had six points and 10 rebounds in 30 minutes against Minnesota.
After the stop in Phoenix, Dallas visits the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday, the Sacramento Kings on Monday and the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.
Phoenix will also be without a star as guard Devin Booker (left
groin strain) will miss his fourth straight
game.
The Suns snapped a three-game slide with an impressive 110-100 home victory over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday
night.
Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal each scored 27 points as Phoenix
avenged a 117-90 road loss to the Nuggets on Monday.
The lethargic effort in Denver led Suns coach Mike Budenholzer
to challenge the squad.
It was a good reminder to the club to do
the little things if the scoring isn’t up to par.
“When you can’t make shots or you just (are) in a little hole as a team, just that physicality and that energy is a good remedy to get you out of that little hole that you (are) in,” Suns forward Kevin Durant said.
The Suns also displayed a higher level of energy that had
been missing in recent games.
“Honestly man, if you look at all those games, that’s why we lost — just weren’t having fun,” Beal said.
“Weren’t enjoying it, just pressing trying to make the perfect play. … I think just finding that joy, it uplifts you in every category of the game.”
Suns reserve guard Grayson Allen remains in concussion protocol and will miss his third consecutive
game.
Phoenix is 2-0 against the Mavericks this season, having posted
a 114-102 home win on Oct. 26 and a 114-113 road victory on Nov.
8. Durant averaged 28.5 points in the games. Doncic averaged 35 points for Dallas.

Lady Gaga proves she’s no diva as she gets down on the
ground to take selfies and sign autographs
In the accompanying artwork, Lady Gaga was
wearing a short red wig, smeared make-up, a white sheer slip dress,
and a red life preserver while seated in a shower.
The standard vinyl version of Harlequin comes with a full-length poster
of the 13-time Grammy winner flashing her bra beneath
a sheer T-shirt and panties while removing blue stockings off her feet on a dingy bed.
The vinyl folds out to show Lady Gaga with red lipstick smeared
on her face into a smile just like the Joker while gazing into a mirror.
Only three of the tracks – The Joker, Folie à Deux, and
Happy Mistake – appear to be original songs.
The remaining 10 tracks appear to be covers of classics like the 1930 standard Get Happy, the 1938 spiritual Oh,
When the Saints Go Marching In, the 1932 jazz song I’ve Got the World on a String, and the 1966 Sweet Charity
anthem If My Friends Could See Me Now.
Harlequin is not to be confused with Hildur
Guðnadóttir’s score for Joker: Folie à Deux, which will also be released on Friday alongside her new flick.
Lady Gaga – who scored a $12M paycheck for Folie à Deux – described her pyromaniac, Arkham State Hospital patient character as ‘an adult woman who sings like a little girl.’
Announcing the new release to the social media site last month, she shared the album cover in a post
captioned: ‘Harlequin. September 27. A companion album

Mother Monster’s onscreen leading man Joaquin Phoenix actually asked her to dampen her famous three-octave
mezzo soprano pipes, telling Vogue: ‘She encouraged me to sing live and I encouraged her to
sing poorly.’
‘I remember asking her to sing without her vibrato. She has a beautiful
vibrato — too beautiful. I think she felt naked without it.
But as soon as she moved away from technique she
unlocked her character’s voice.’
Lady Gaga – who gets 95.7M monthly listeners on Spotify – tried
‘to undo all my technique’ while method on the set of the R-rated
jukebox musical.
‘It was a lot about kind of unlearning technique and forgetting how to breathe
and allowing the song to completely come out of the character,’ the Die
With a Smile hitmaker revealed at the Venice Film Festival press
conference on September 4.

Four bombs explode in Cairo, one killed
By REUTERS
Published: 08:19 GMT, 26 February 2015 | Updated: 08:
19 GMT, 26 February 2015
e-mail
CAIRO, Feb 26 (Reuters) – One person was killed and two
were wounded when a bomb exploded outside a restaurant in the residential Imbaba district of
Cairo on Thursday, the Egyptian Interior Ministry said in a
statement.
Three other bombs exploded in the nearby and mainly middle-class district of Mohandeseen, the interior ministry said.
They caused limited damage to mobile phone shops, but
no injuries.
While most of the worst attacks in Egypt have hit the Sinai peninsula, a remote but strategic region bordering Gaza,
Israel and the Suez Canal, smaller blasts have become increasingly common in Cairo and other cities.
Television footage on Thursday showed the facade of a small restaurant damaged, and shrapnel
along a street.
There was no claim of responsibility for the attacks.
Last month, the Egyptian affiliate of Islamic State claimed responsibility
for coordinated attacks that killed at least 30 security personnel in Sinai.

Lady Gaga showed off her eclectic fashion sense on Monday as she channeled
her character Harley Quinn at The Joker: Folie à Deux premiere in Los Angeles.
The 38-year-old entertainer stars in the forthcoming project alongside Joaquin Phoenix, 49,
who joined her on the red carpet.
Gaga, whose birth name is Stefani Germanotta, stars as Harley opposite Joaquin’s Joker in the psychological thriller.
The movie serves as a follow-up to Phoenix’s 2019 box office hit, which was simply titled Joker.
The Todd Phillips-directed musical is due in theaters on October 4, following an October 2
international release.

For Monday evening’s appearance in Hollywood at TCL Chinese Theatre, Lady
Gaga turned heads in a black gown with billowing, satin, short sleeves.
She rocked bleached eyebrows and sported a red wig as she graced the red carpet solo.
One month before the sequel’s release date, Joaquin praised Lady Gaga for her ‘impressive’ preparation for the feature film.
During a Venice Film Festival press conference in which he discussed shedding pounds for Joker,
he added: ‘Stefani also lost a lot of weight.
‘I remember when I first met you in rehearsals and then you went away for
like a month and then you came back, you lost a lot of
weight.’
He continued, ‘It was really impressive.
It seemed very difficult.’
Gaga agreed, ‘I think we transformed into our characters over a period of time and we continued
to hone in every kind of detail.’
She plays a music therapist at Arkham Asylum in The Joker and said:
‘We rehearsed the waltz in the film for two months which kind of falls apart.’
Phoenix noted about the musical aspect: ‘Part of the joy for me
was to take standards and find a way that was specific to the characters.
‘That was part of what was interesting for us. We started off with references like Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr and we
started to emulate that sound.’

highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.
The second installment sees Arthur Fleck institutionalised at Arkham Asylum, awaiting trial for his crimes as Joker.
‘While struggling with his dual identity, Arthur not only stumbles upon true love, but also finds the music that’s always
been inside him,’ a press release shared.
The Los Angeles premiere comes nearly one week after Lady Gaga
announced her album Harlequin, which is a companion album to the movie.
It features a 13-song track list including covers like That’s Life, Oh, When the
Saints, and Smile.

DUBAI, Sept 19 (Reuters) – The Iranian human rights group Hengaw said two men were killed
on Monday in protests against the death of a Kurdish woman after
her arrest by Iran’s morality police, but there was
no immediate official confirmation of the report.
“In Monday’s protests in the town of Divandarreh, at least two citizens – Fouad Qadimi and Mohsen Mohammadi – died after being taken to Kosar Hospital in Sanandaj and 15 others were injured,” Hengaw said on its Twitter account.
