College of Staten Island, CUNY, Professor Included Among ‘100 Leading Global Thinkers’
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. (PRWEB) November 25, 2014
An educator at the College of Staten Island (CSI), CUNY, was recognized during a recent Washington, D.C. gala as one of the “100 Leading Global Thinkers of 2014.”
Michael Mandiberg, an associate professor in CSI’s Department of Media Culture in the Division of Humanities and Social Sciences, was selected for the distinction by Foreign Policy (FP) magazine for his work on Art+Feminism, an initiative focused on bolstering a more balanced presentation of art, feminism, gender studies and LGBTQ issues on Wikipedia.
Prior to the Nov. 17 dinner celebration in the Four Seasons Hotel, Mandiberg and co-honorees from across the globe gathered with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry for “Transformational Trends: A Year of Disruptive Thinking,” a policy conference, now in its third year, where Kerry gave the keynote address.
The event was jointly sponsored by FP and the State Department’s Policy Planning Staff. Others honorees included such people as artist Kara Walker; cryptographer Phil Zimmerman; Hong Kong student activist Joshua Wong, and Drs. Kevin Whaley and Larry Zeitlin, creators of the Ebola drug Zmapp.
Mandiberg and his collaborators – Siân Evans, Dorothy Howard, Richard Knipel, Jacqueline Mabey and Laurel Ptak – were recognized for organizing the Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. On Feb. 1, 150 people gathered at Eyebeam, a center for art and technology in New York City, to edit Wikipedia entries on women, art, feminism, and related subjects. They were joined by approximately 500 others in 30 satellite events across three continents.
“We do this work because it is the right thing to do, without thinking of a prize or reward,” Mandiberg said. “My collaborators and I are deeply honored to be included among a group of such amazing honorees.”
Wikipedia is the sixth most visited website, according to Internet data provider Alexa, but only 13 percent of Wikipedia’s contributors are female.
“Professor Mandiberg’s innovative work blends technology, art, and explorations of systems of exchange,” said Nan M. Sussman, dean of Humanities and Social Sciences at CSI. “The 2014 Art+Feminism Wikipedia project was an international collaborative initiative that resulted in more than 101 new articles created and 90 articles revised in an attempt to address the gender imbalance in Wikipedia. He brings this same interdisciplinary curiosity and social critique to his classroom.”
“Our department,” added Professor Ying Zhu, PhD., chair of CSI’s Department of Media Culture, “is very proud of Michael’s socially and politically engaging work.”
Many more editing meet-ups have followed since the Art+Feminism inaugural gathering. In October, the program coordinated the first in a series of workshops, called “Train the Trainers,” to prepare aspiring activist editors for future projects.
The next international Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon will take place March 7 and 8, 2015, the weekend of International Women’s Day. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) will host the anchor New York City event.
In addition to his position as an associate professor at CSI, Mandiberg is a member of the doctoral faculty at the CUNY Graduate Center. An interdisciplinary artist and scholar, he directs the New York Arts Practicum, a summer arts institute where participants experientially learn to bridge their lives as art students into lives as artists.

Collection Services Giant Rapid Recovery Solutions Evaluates Meager College Revenue Report
Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) November 27, 2013
Rapid Recovery Solution, Inc. discusses the need for a nationwide overhaul of college funding standards.
According to a November 22 article from The Wall Street Journal titled “Why Are Colleges Seeing Anemic Tuition Growth?,” nearly half of the country’s educational institutions are seeing their revenues decline. After a prolonged era of consistent enrollment gains, enrollment at many schools has hit a wall.
Economists are crediting the Great Recession for this drop, as the job market of various professional industries has discouraged young Americans from continuing their education beyond high school. They are instead turning to easily obtainable part-time jobs with increased consistency. A recent report from Moody’s Investors Service cited in The Journal’s article determined, “the median growth in net tuition per student has slowed to approximately 3 percent, half of the pace experienced before the recession.”
John Monderine, CEO of Rapid Recovery Solutions, provides his take on the issue. “While these facts may be alarming to many Americans, a downturn in college enrollment and revenue comes as little surprise to the collection services industry. For years our agency has witnessed the crippling effects of increasing tuition fees and exorbitant college loans on young adults.”
Monderine continues, “The American higher education system remains one of this country’s true crown jewels. The industry must work alongside lenders and employers to ensure prospective students that the expense is worth the rewards. However, until student loan debt is in some way curbed, enrollment may continue to tumble over time.”
Founded in 2006, Rapid Recovery Solution, Inc. is headquartered at the highest point of beautiful Long Island. Rapid Recovery Collection Agency is committed to recovering your funds. We believe that every debtor has the ability to pay if motivated correctly. We DO NOT alienate the debtors; we attempt to align with them and offer a number of ways to resolve not only your debt but also all their debts.

Executive Vice President of Monroe College is Chosen as Primary Negotiator by Department of Education for Gainful Employment
New Rochelle, NY (PRWEB) September 27, 2013
Last month, Marc Jerome, Executive Vice President of Monroe College, was chosen as a primary negotiator to represent private, proprietary colleges as the Department of Education reviews the proposed gainful employment rule. Fifteen primary and fourteen alternate negotiators were selected to represent the various segments of higher education.
In 2010, the DOE proposed the gainful employment rule and a series of metrics used to determine whether education programs within the proprietary sector lead to gainful employment in a recognized occupation. The proposed rule based a program’s eligibility for federal student financial aid under Title IV of the Higher Education Act on whether or not the program met rigorous student loan debt metrics.
On June 22, 2013, the Department of Education announced that it would establish a negotiated rulemaking committee with the intent that it would review current gainful employment standards, as well as help to improve on regulations and create new standards for programs that prepare students for gainful employment.
The topic of gainful employment has been highly discussed throughout higher education and this committee is meant to achieve several goals relating to the matter. According to a document published by the U.S. Department of Education, these goals include defining what it means for a program to prepare a student for gainful employment, providing institutions with the tools and metrics needed to assess whether their programs prepare their students for gainful employment, protecting students and taxpayers by identifying gainful employment programs with poor outcomes, and supporting students in deciding where to pursue a college education by increasing transparency.
Over the last three years, Mr. Jerome has become a subject matter expert on gainful employment and has focused a lot of his energy working on Title IV issues. He has delved into the matter in order to gain an in-depth understanding and has worked with the U.S. Department of Education as well as both Democrats and Republicans on numerous issues, including gainful employment.
In 2012, Monroe College won a USA Funds® Award for Excellence in Debt Management. The College was recognized for developing its Debt Reduction, Education, Assessment & Management (DREAM) project, which gives its graduates the skills to manage both their personal and educational finances. The DREAM project educates students through peer financial advising, early intervention loan counseling and education, and enhanced staffing of its Office of Loan Management, among other efforts to improve student financial literacy.
The next negotiated rulemaking session is scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C. on October 21st through October 23rd.
