The human factor on campus
hen you read
W
through this issue
of Today’s Campus,
you’ll quickly notice
that the human fac-
tor is driving so much
of what is happening
on campus. More than gloomy finances. More than whiz bang
technology. People—how they have changed, what they want and
what we deliver—will determine the fate of our institutions.
Dropouts and stopouts have made retention as important as
admissions.
Techno-generation students have forced instructors to put away
their overheads and deliver courses in multimedia and through
multiple electronic channels such as YouTube and smart phones.
Demanding graduates are holding their schools accountable for
career success, not just a diploma—sometimes in court.
More and more students are clamoring for social equity in their
coursework and their career path.
What’s left of our downsized staffs is struggling to re-skill them-
selves to deliver higher value work and protect the integrity of our
colleges from a new cadre of threats.
Our writers have delved into these issues, interviewed thought
leaders and offer you some answers from those who have learned to
manage the human factor.
