Re-Inventing College Is A Higher Education A Sound Investment Arthur Levine Uncovers Each New Layer

from Arroe Collins View From The Writing Instrument · host Arroe Collins

Higher education is at a turning point. The current model of higher education was built for the industrial era and needs to be transformed, according to Arthur Levine, author of the previously published The Great Upheaval: Higher Education’s Past, Present, and Uncertain Future. He has a new book coming out in spring 2026.  He is not promoting either book at this time.  Nationally known educational thought leader and Brandeis University President Arthur Levine has been at the forefront of the changing role of higher education.  He argues that in the next 20 years, college will be reinvented.  Consumers of higher education will determine what higher education will be, and that every institution will have to change. All colleges—especially liberal arts colleges —need to be more closely tied to the needs of the workplace and must change traditional structures, curricula, programs, degree offerings, teaching methods, career education, and student support systems. The proposed changes address concerns of both parents and the needs of employers—finding workers whose skills match what they need.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-view-from-the-writing-instrument--1023245/support.
