20:00 SPECIAL: A Chanukah Celebration with Chicago a Cappella and artistic director Jonathan Miller - An inspiring and informative hour featuring choral music set to Chanukah texts.  Familiar tunes include “I Have a Little Dreidel” (both in its original Yiddish form and in a neo-funk Hebrew/English setting), a swing version of “S’vivon” by Steve Barnett, and a lively setting of the traditional melody for “Al-Hanissim” (“For the Miracles”) by Elliot Levine.  Heartfelt original compositions by American and British composers provide added depth of expression to celebrating the holiday.  Such works include “Lo Yisa Goy,” a plea for peace by Stacy Garrop; Bob Applebaum’s stirring new version of “Haneirot Halalu”; and movements from the majestic “Hallel Suite” by London-based Daniel Tunkel.  Mr. Miller provides liturgical and cultural background as part of this unique look inside old and newer choral Chanukah traditions.

22:00 CITY CLUB FORUM – recorded Friday at The City Club of Cleveland, a citadel of free speech, The Future of Public Education in Ohio

Public higher education institutions across the country are experiencing decreased budgets. Compared to levels prior to the recession, state support for public two and four-year colleges has dropped by nearly $10 billion. In Ohio, state funding for higher education in 2017 is a half-billion lower than pre-recession levels. Sixty-four percent of Ohio graduates leave school with debt and institutions are being asked to tell students how much they can expect to earn with a degree in an attempt to manage the increasing burden of debt that graduates now face.

The context appears to be shifting. The 2016-2017 budget had a 7.6 percent boost of $274 million in state share of instruction, as well as almost a 13 percent increase in need based aid. Public Northeast Ohio colleges are showing strong enrollment numbers of increasingly academically prepared students, despite fewer high school graduates and increased competition among colleges. Partnerships with the private sector, such as The Ohio State University’s collaboration with Apple are innovating educational opportunities and partnerships within public education, like Ohio University and The University of Toledo, are creating stronger research institutions. 

Panelists include: Ronald M. Berkman, Ph.D., President, Cleveland State University; Alex Johnson, Ph.D., President, Cuyahoga Community College; Matthew Wilson, Ph.D., President and Professor of Law, The University of Akron. Moderated by WKYC President and General Manager Micki Byrnes
