Future U Podcast Jeff Selingo, Michael Horn

Greg Fowler, a longtime leader in online education and president of the University of Maryland Global Campus, discusses how the pandemic might accelerate change in higher ed but probably not changed the trajectory of institutions.

We often refer to the "higher ed system" in the U.S. But it's not really a system and it's mostly controlled by the states. On the latest reporters' roundtable, Jeff and Michael welcome higher ed reporters from California, Michigan, and Mississippi.

David Thomas, president of Morehouse College, joins us to talk about the challenges of building on the legacy of a storied institution and stretching traditions in transformative ways.

So much for the much-heralded “hot vax summer.” As Jeff and Michael return from their summer break, they continue to talk about the impact of Covid on higher ed and catch up on the news headlines from the sale of edX to the Supreme Court's NCAA ruling as well as preview what's to come on Season 5 of Future U.

Jeff and Michael recap what they've learned from this past year, answer audience questions, and look ahead to next fall in the final episode of this season of Future U.

As the academic year comes to a close, Jeff and Michael spoke with higher education reporters from the Washington Post, NPR, and the Chronicle for HIgher Education and Open Campus about their perspective on the past year and what the future will hold for campuses—including the stories that they believe aren't being discussed nearly enough.
