Highlights from the 2021 AASCU and EAB Virtual Symposium for Presidents and their Cabinets

Higher Ed Presidents, AASCU, and EAB experts connected during two, half-day sessions about the state of higher education broadly and actionable insights to survive and thrive. Topics included:

• The competitive and challenging enrollment landscape
• Higher education’s outdated business model
• Changing needs and preferences of student populations
• The crisis of confidence in the value of a degree
• Academic program innovation and prioritization
• Opportunities to achieve financial sustainability

This symposium was an extension of the conversations from AASCU’s 2020 Annual Meeting about the current and future state of higher education amid a pandemic, a nationwide recession, and historic social justice movements.
