How Gen Z’s demand for radical transparency and authenticity impacts higher ed leaders
Generation Z is skeptical of authority, a legacy of their Gen X parents that mirrors a global trend of declining trust in institutions. Unlike older generations, Gen Z values are shaped by the digital ecosystem they grew up within, built on sharing and access. The digital age has enabled unprecedented transparency into institutions, facilitated access to information and decision-makers, and provided a platform for individuals to amplify their voices.
“…students in Generation Z are empowered with information and communication tools and have access to thought leaders and power brokers. They possess a mind-set that they can change institutions.”
