It's not uncommon for professionals in college student conduct to hear "Glad I don't have your job," but the impacts of how we approach conflict, crisis and discomfort have the potential to ripple out in beautiful ways. If you need a free dose of professional development, community support or humor, Ms. Behavior is the place for you.

  • Conduct for Grown-ups: Preparing for a Demographic Turnaround
    Oct 22 2026

    Rather than lament about the shrinking generation of college-age (and college skeptical) students, a senior writer for the Chronicle, wrote an article about the potential market of older learners. Brilliant, right? But are our campuses honestly ready to serve an adult population? This is a fascinating exploration for student conduct practitioners, who might be quite a bit younger than their potential respondents. Kurt's perspective from a community college lens is particularly poignant if 4-year institutions are looking to move into the adult market.

    Is This How Colleges Woo Back Students?: A movement to reinvent higher ed for working adults thinks it’s found its moment, from the Chronicle of Higher Education by Scott Carlson

  • Stop Saying It's Easy! Cornell's Situation Is Our Situation

    Everybody has the magic answer. It's the fraternities! It's the alcohol! It's the parents! It's the University! It's the nationals! It's Title IX!

    The answer is yes. And there's much more in the broken machinery that keeps our campuses having to revisit this ugly topic year after year. With special co-host Christy Anthony, we look at the issue from a "We're all Cornell" viewpoint to examine how our current systems have evolved and devolved. As an old friend of Christy's says, "The great thing about systems is that we made them. That means we can change them." Let's start now.

  • Leaving Your Higher Ed Legacy
    Oct 8 2026

    Send Us a Text or Voice Message!

    Colette and Kurt have a lot in common. Something they've never talked about before is how they both lost their mothers when they were fairly young in their careers. Our Ms. Behaviors hosts are both PKs (kids of school principals), and as anniversaries related to their early losses close in, they wonder what lessons they learned about their responsibilities on this earth. With some help from NYT and Atlantic writer David Brooks, Ms. Behavior helps all of us consider what our lasting legacies will be.
