  • 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  • Higher education’s outdated business model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
