Hot Topics Forum

An attempt will be made here to summarize the current state of discussion on the Board of Directors and among other NCHC members on four NCHC “hot topics.” This is not intended as an “open forum” with extended discussion. Topics include:

• The question of “definition” of honors education.
• The question or issue of “for-profit” honors, the degree to which local honors programs and colleges are or should be involved in discussions that affect them.
• Online education and its connection to honors in general.
• The question of voluntary certification, on which there will have been several venues of discussion during this conference already.

There will be ample opportunity for comments in the meantime on the NCHC Member Discussion Board following this forum.
