Issues and Crisis Management Solutions
for Higher Learning Institutions
Trends suggest that the coming years may be especially difficult for
higher education. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are challenging
the student value-proposition. Collegiate athletes are seeking unionization
and payment. Hackers have breached college networks to steal research
information. Violent incidents appear to be increasing on campuses.
