Knowledge, Learning, Community

Bryan Alexander's predictions for the U.S. collegiate system are safe, and hence, usually accurate. No black swans here! "These forecasts, modified by a year+ of experience, suggest an academy a year from now that probably teaches fewer students. Its buildings may start to show signs of COVID style. Sports will keep on. Library and IT services will keep rising, albeit without additional financial support.  Student learning will continue, but hampered.  More people within the academic community will suffer from illness, long COVID, or death."
