New Q&A on THE NEW GLOBAL UNIVERSITIES: We think that our colleagues in higher education will find value in the courage and intellectual chutzpah that it takes to start a new college or university from scratch. Leaders of future start-up institutions as well as established universities can learn valuable lessons about fostering innovation and change. The growing legion of entrepreneurs who come from outside the academic tradition can also gain from reading this book: we hope it will help them see more clearly how academic culture and priorities within a start-up university share certain characteristics with industrial start-ups but also have substantive differences—and why these differences matter. Finally, we want to help the general public, both in the United States and globally, better understand the value of a broad, integrated education for unleashing creative capacities and building collective understanding. https://shorturl.at/fJ458

I'd love to hear your experiences and perspectives as we explore this topic together. Here are a few questions to spark the conversation: - What influenced your decision to attend Columbia or NYU, or consider them for higher education? - How do you perceive the culture and learning environment at these two institutions? - What standout opportunities are available at either university that make them unique? Let's engage, learn, and have some fun as we dive deeper into this exciting discussion! 🌟 https://lnkd.in/dzwb267Z

A thought: I'm dated. in the 1970s only one generation had been attending colleges and universities: largely the post WWII generation of men many of whom were veterans attending state schools on the GI Bill. Private colleges were known only to the few, well off and connected. Private college's expected tuition up front. scholarships were rather rare though athletes might be considered because alumni donors wanted wins. I was moving between the old prodigy/early study programs once offered at comprehensive universities and a couple Ivy League athletic conference schools. The most admired students hadn't necessarily attended HYPS in the 1960s and 1970s. Many deferred to students by peers were singled out in undergraduate classes for impressive argumentation on a narrow point. The particular scholarly issue may not have been fully resolved by texts or even by journals of record! Some of us were recruited to national T10 universities not named California Berkeley [A very top 1970s/80s school] refused old Havard or reforming Yale. That was chatted about and that carried special prestige. We were too geeky to be content to grow with moneyed elites. I needed to be assured influence in faculty recruitment at Harvard around 1980. I'd hoped to see a bit of the University of Chicago, Cornell and Stanford at Harvard. Nope! Associate professors were overwhelmingly men of WASP background even in 1985. That in itself wasn't the major problem at an inward looking private university. Most Deans/senior faculty were privately educated at all levels. Through the 1980s significant incluschange was wrought at popular Private colleges. They have been quite open to public school talents and have been far better at addressing the financial requirements of enrolled students for three decades. I accept thst the Ivy League has been aspirational to families and to bright light strivers. Attend a better public university, succeed and you'll find that doors open: distinguish yourself in a couple ways at that state university and Ivies may require that you choose where to teach! 😊 Fourty years ago I needed to stop calling HY shots cuts to early career rise and establishment as I'd attended them. They were both improving quickly. Sure aspire to famous private brands with the crowds -- I do understand. Each state school has award winning thinkers, researchers and teaching enthusiasts. No worries! Professor Ron Scott KBE Answer to How does UC Berkeley rank among other prestigious universities in the US, such as MIT, Stanford, Harvard, and Yale? by Brian Dempsey

Are there downsides to some of the qualities that colleges and universities take pride in — qualities like autonomy, being mission-driven, and having relatively flat hierarchical structures and decentralized decision-making? Does the drive to compete, to distinguish individual institutions from one another, reduce the likelihood of collaboration, especially when resources are constrained? James Shulman, vice president at American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), argues that universities should be aware that their organizational cultures might make it harder to discover opportunities for cost-savings or the potential value, in some contexts, of standardization. Universities should be open, he says, to working with both nonprofit and for-profit organizations that are aligned with their institutional mission. Listen to Shulman’s discussion of “The Synthetic University: How Higher Education Can Benefit from Shared Solutions and Save Itself” with Stanford University sociologist Mitchell Stevens: https://lnkd.in/g96A7UJK The Academic Innovation #forthePublicGood book series is co-organized by Stanford Digital Education and Trinity College-Hartford.

🎓 Reflecting on the enlightening lecture on the intricacies of higher education in the #USA from Charles Mathies My biggest insight was "Universities sometimes want you more than you think as a student". 😏 🤔 From the stellar reputation of Ivy league universities to the innovative strides made in academia, it's clear that the American system remains a global leader in research quality and teaching excellence. However, the discussion also delved into the challenges faced within the systems such as complexities of democratization and market dynamics in education delivery. Notably, Arizona State University emerged as a beacon of operational excellence, highlighting the critical role of funding in driving innovation. 💡 Reflecting on the historical journey from colonial-era establishments like Harvard to the proliferation of public institutions post-republic era, catalyzed by landmark acts such as the Morrill Act of 1862. The lecture also explored the shifting dynamics between private and public universities, alongside the emergence of academic freedom and the tenure system. Despite challenges like escalating student debt and the integration of AI in academia, there's a palpable sense of optimism about the resilience and adaptability of higher education institutions in shaping a brighter future for learners worldwide. 🚀 Let's continue to engage in meaningful discussions and collaborations to address these challenges head-on, fostering innovation, inclusivity, and excellence in higher education.
