The international perspective here is great. And love the guest spot.

Sure you saw this, but I appreciate Scott Galloway's take on US higher ed and the long term impacts of what happens in the next year re enrollments, online classes, etc. (He's written a lot about it, but just one example here: https://www.profgalloway.com/uss-university)

Seems Galloway agrees with Burkett on quite a lot re embracing technology and preserving value and tradition - his central claim is that survivability of a university is a function of both the value it creates, itself a function of alumni earnings ("value") and college experience ("tradition"), and current financial well-being, a function of endowment per student and reliance on full-price-paying international students (potentially where technology can help supplement revenue for second and third tier universities).

Yeah, Burkett and Ateba are very bright. I hope I'll have an excuse to interview them on here again soon! You, too, if I ever write on a topic that is under your expertise! I'm aware of Galloway's work generally (I'm on the free subscription to his newsletter), though I haven't read too much of him lately. I'll take a look.
