This article summarizes (from a conference presentation) an Educause report released yesterday on the Educause website. Because of the uncertainty around so many things, they actually created three scenarios for different schools in different situations and identified different sets of issues for each scenario. The three scenarios are 'restore', 'evolve' and 'transform'. The report notes that 'restore' and 'evolve' overlap quite a bit - the difference is that 'evolve' ranks student success as more important, while 'restore' ranks (probably out of necessity) financial health as more important. Meanwhile, in the 'transform' scenario, institutional culture takes top priority, with issues of alignment following. And of course, cost management sneaks into this scenario as well (and I expect financial exigency will be the major issue no matter what for educational issues in the years following the pandemic).
