Seventeen years ago, the biggest concerns for a K–12 IT department were adware, popups and viruses. Today’s security threats are much more complex. We have to worry about scams, phishing emails and malicious code embedded in emails or even images. People see education as an area where you may not need heavy security, but the truth is quite the opposite.

And most of them have relied on an unusual arrangement — where the companies put up the financial backing to help colleges launch programs in exchange for a large portion of tuition revenue. It’s a model that has long raised eyebrows in higher ed, and now it’s one that is under scrutiny from federal agencies.

I grew up in extreme poverty. The ability to access a free, high-quality education in North Texas changed my life. I benefited greatly from the ways community colleges meet students where they are and wrap their arms around them. Classes were small, and I had a clear sense of belonging, despite being the first in my family to go to college.
