We begin with a simple thesis: American Higher Education is facing an Age of Disruptive Change – as are all other industries. Higher education needs to realign its programs and experiences to the needs and changing value propositions expected by learners, their families, employers, public policy makers, and other stakeholders in these new conditions. In this context, there are six major challenges facing higher education at this time. Via Society for College and University Planning (SCUP)
