How to Save the World: Global Perspectives on the Higher Education Reference Models

Wednesday, October 23, 2024 | 9:15AM–10:00AM CT | EDUCAUSE Commons, Posters Plus
Session Type: Poster Session
Delivery Format: Poster Session
Higher edu leadership has evolved into a loose federation of CEOs with no cohesive view of the system that provides the value of educated citizens who will save the world with their ideas. Our suboptimized system contributes to the current negative view of higher education as an endeavor not worth the cost. Leadership must manage the system, since it will not manage itself, but do we expect the independent silos of leadership to manage the whole system? How can leadership see and manage the system? The first step is to develop a way to see it. We can start by seeing it with a framework, a basic structure to serve as a guide that expands into something useful. The framework we will discuss in this panel session is the Higher Education Reference Models (HERM) and how these models can save the world.
