2025-12-2043 minBustED PencilsPublic Good vs. Public Goods in Higher Ed, with Jonathan GyurkoWhat makes something a public good? In short, inclusion and access. It cannot exclude anyone- regardless of background, socioeconomic status, or creed. Dr. Jonathan Gyurko, repeat Pencil Buster, joins us to discuss his recent article on higher education's status as a non-public good. Although our institutions of higher education- even those that call themselves "public"- aren't at this moment public goods, but they can be. Making them so will more closely align their missions with democracy, which requires us to include. Inclusion isn't always easy, but it is necessary and leads to more public good. We can get...

Sure, these professionals are experts in their fields. They know their specialties and the niche corners of their subject matter. And because of their subject mastery, places of higher learning expect that these experts can teach what they know to a diverse audience. The reality? Not always true. So, in a world where our expected educators are educated but not specifically for the purposes of teaching, we need- well- education! In...

This lack of focus on teaching quality directly impacts student engagement, persistence, and graduation rates. The discussion also explores how educational technology, including artificial intelligence, can play a...

Guest Jonathan Gyurko, author of Publicization, president and cofounder of the Association of College and University Educators breaks it down with Tim and Johnny. Jonathan defines publicization as the opposite of privatization- moving industries from the private to public domain.- and uses the term to discuss a potential future for public schools in America.

Have You Heard#177 The Opposite of Privatization is PublicizationMarket-based education reform may be on the wane, but what’s the alternative? Our guest, Jonathan Gyurko, author of the provocative new book Publicization, argues that public education advocates need to rally around a goal of making public schools as public as possible. That means changing the way we think about funding, governance, accountability–indeed, the very purpose of school. If we want to move beyond decades of privatization, says Gyurko, we need a hopeful vision of what schools could be.
