According to interviewee James Hilton, "We're going to see growing pressure on higher education to offer increasingly differentiated paths to education." Now it should be noted that this is different from the concept of differentiated instruction. This is about institutions finding unique roles or niches for themselves. "I think there is going to be intense pressure on higher education institutions to 'find their North Star' and differentiate on that. Research universities need to be places where students go because they want to participate in the discovery of things not yet known..." (funny how these discussions always come back to research universities, who will remain the same while everyone else changes). There's some interesting stuff about collaboration and cooperation, the "audacity of the shared vision" - "What is that vision now, in the 21st century? For me, it's the notion that education can be tailored and customized for every single individual."
