Pushed to the Brink: The Student Success Challenge at Elite Universities
How rapid enrollment growth is creating a student success challenge at America’s elite universities
America’s most highly ranked universities are experiencing rapid enrollment growth even as the broader landscape of higher education contracts. Amid this growth is a lurking student success challenge as existing services and legacy technologies are called upon to serve more students and meet new expectations for support. These institutions, historically known for their academic rigor and high graduation rates, must now evolve to meet the needs of a more diverse student body. Failure to adapt to these changes could harm institutional reputation and create operational inefficiencies.
This insight paper grew out of conversations with dozens of student success administrators at some of the most selective and elite universities in the country. In it, we explore the pressures and risks these administrators face as they adapt to the challenge, including the opportunities offered by artificial intelligence.
