In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and algorithm-driven decision-making, human roles, skills, and educational priorities are undergoing an unprecedented transformation. As machines become increasingly capable of performing routine, analytical, and even creative tasks, the fundamental question arises: What remains uniquely…

Disruptions in today's higher education landscape require a different approach to community college leadership. Fostering innovation demands leaders adopt practices that seed an innovative mindset and build an innovative culture more resilient to changing circumstances.

The use of predictive analytics powered by machine learning (ML) to model educational data has increasingly been identified to exhibit bias towards marginalized populations, prompting the need for more equitable applications of these techniques. To tackle bias that emerges in training data or models at different stages of the ML modelling…

Due to lack of research to track inclusive teaching behavior changes, the extent of faculty application of inclusive teaching practices remains unknown.
