Evaluating risk is hard and I rarely see it done properly. You have to consider not only the likelihood of it happening in a given time frame, you also have to evaluate the severity of the impact. Also, risk depends on content - what's a risk for you may be an opportunity for me. That's why your survey sample matters - and you have an 'executive panel of education experts' like this survey has, probably you're missing out on some perspective. That's also why a risk like 'failure to adopt a sustainable mode" refers to making money instead of environmental responsibility, though the latter is more important. And that's probably why this panel isn't concerned about declining government funding and privatization. Still, a survey like this (28 page PDF) is important. That's because new ventures and industry support chase risk - they're looking for opportunities. I, of course, am different. The things I chase - rising student debt, issues of access, (real) sustainability - aren't generally seen as opportunities.
