The report, Revolutionizing the Role of the University, explores the processes of institutional change these schools undertook during the first phase. For two years, each of the seven institutions planned and started implementing select practices to better align institutional practice and support with student access and degree completion. The new APLU/USU report provides an overview of such reforms to inform other institutions’ efforts.

This report presumes that a digital-forward design is not only useful, but that it will increasingly be a de facto standard of practice in postsecondary education course design. Using the Principles for Digital-Forward Design from our preceding workshop as a guide, the workshop participants were asked to provide insight and guidance for institutions as they face the digital tsunami of change washing across the campus.

Taking Charge of Change is the first document produced by the Kellogg Commission on the Future of Higher Education. "Dear Colleagues: The nation’s state and land-grant colleges and universities have promised many things to many people and delivered on most of them—world-class research, first-rate service, and access to affordable education for all. They have been a unique source of practical education and lifelong learning, first for farmers and then for just about everyone else. The value of these institutions is beyond calculation. They have kept the promise. All of that is now at risk. We cannot sugar-coat the truth. Unprecedented problems confront our campuses."

Shortages in meeting employment demands exist in the number of U.S. citizens earning undergraduate and advanced degrees in engineering fields essential to economic growth and national security such as systems engineers, cyber security, software developers, materials science engineering, and Ph.D.’s in nuclear and electrical engineering. Thanks to funding from the NSF, APLU examined this topic and examined recent trends in engineering degrees awarded at national and institutional levels to determine areas of growth among various groups, changes in racial, ethnic and gender diversity in engineering.

The centrality of engagement is critical to the success of higher education in the future. Engagement is essential to most effectively achieving the overall purpose of the university, which is focused on the knowledge enterprise. Today’s engagement is scholarly, is an aspect of learning and discovery, and enhances society and higher education. Undergirding today’s approach to community engagement is the understanding that not all knowledge and expertise resides in the academy, and that both expertise and great learning opportunities in teaching and scholarship also reside in non-academic settings.
