40th Annual Academic Chairpersons Conference

How might higher education change in the years to come?  This presentation considers a wide range of transformational possibility. We begin by exploring external trends, especially at the macro level, drawn from demographics, macroeconomics, public attitudes, and more.  Next we assess changes within campuses, including enrollment and institutional finance. We examine several ways the past several years' crises inflected these changes, then close by looking ahead to multiple aspects of academic futures.
