The closures, the impossible decisions, the bold bets, & the hard-won victories happening on campuses across America right now. You'll discover Why colleges & universities are closing at an accelerating rate, & the warning signs leaders keep missingHow artificial intelligence upended teaching, assessment, & the value of a college degree almost overnightWhat the collapse of public trust in higher ed really means for enrollment, funding, & survivalHow the most resilient university presidents are rebuilding the college value proposition around affordability, outcomes, & relevanceThe leadership strategies separating the institutions that adapt from the ones that disappear From community colleges & regional universities to HBCUs, tribal colleges, online institutions, & flagship research universities, Beyond Survival maps the full landscape of American higher ed leadership & the fight for relevance that will define the next decade. Essential reading for college & university presidents, provosts, deans, trustees, & board members; higher ed administrators & academic leaders; enrollment, marketing, & student success professionals; policymakers; & anyone who believes higher ed still matters. The war for relevance is here. Beyond Survival is the intelligence you need to understand it, & the case for why higher ed's best days can still be ahead.
