Solutions for Higher Education with Southern Utah University President Scott L Wyatt

Show Notes:

Today on the show we talk with Lee Gardner, senior writer for The Chronicle of Higher Education about the special report from The Chronicle for Higher Education entitled, "The Looming Enrollment Crisis." Gardner wrote the article "Weather the Storm" in the special report and today we're talking with him on the topic.

Featured Quotes:

Higher education is dealing with a lot of different issues and some of them are very thorny and difficult, but I don't think that any one of them feels as immediate for a lot of institutions as their worries about their enrollment. That’s critical to the enterprise for private institutions and especially now that state support is not what it once was, it's critical for public institutions.
Lee Gardner, The Chronicle of Higher Education

As we sometimes talk about in The Chronicle newsroom, ‘What can we stop doing?’ Because if you just keep adding things that you offer and adding things that you do and you don’t similarly expand your ability to do those things, then at a certain point, it's unsustainable.
Lee Gardner, The Chronicle of Higher Education
