Key Takeaway:
HE institutions are facing 4 major challenges: the need to adapt to greater expectations and needs of your constituent; greater competition for a declining student population; funding challenges; and struggles with existing outdated systems.
Talk Track:
The world has changed dramatically due to advances in technology. As a result there are now new pressures on higher ed institutions to evolve the way they deliver education as well as the way they run their business processes in a new competitive environment. I think most people would agree that HE is in a transformative stage right now and that schools who are slower to embrace the changes and transform themselves to be more responsive and agile will be faced with dire consequences over the next 5-10 years.
Just like other organizations, higher education institutions are challenged by an increasingly connected world
#1 Increasingly Connected World
With 4.5 billion social users on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and a host of other networks, especially popular amongst the traditional student population and the Millenials, universities need to meet students where they are. You need to engage with them in social channels where you can reach out to students and have personalized conversations at massive scale.
And the rapid growth of social is fueled by the rise of mobile. With 5 billion smartphones expected by 2017, mobile apps have become a new way to engage your constituents – not only students, but also your faculty/staff, parents, and the corporations you partner with. Smartphones have become the dashboard to our life, helping us connect to others and to access information.
Technology is evolving so much that now they are starting to even introduce connected products that automatically transmit data back to you. That’s where the world is heading. So when a constituent, whether it’s a student, faculty/staff, or a corporation you deal with, interacts with you, they have the same expectations of you as they do from the private sector. This consumerization of higher education forces you to re-think the way you communicate, interact, engage and service your constituents.
#2 Greater Competition
With a declining population of traditional learners and the fact that students are going to school at a further radius from home than they used to, you have more schools competing for a smaller pool of candidates. As such, many institutions have had to adapt by expanding and targeting programs to nontraditional learners (for example, those in the workforce or seeking new skills training) as well as new delivery models such as online classes, competency-based courses, and MOOCs.
#3 Funding Challenges:
Declining state financial support is one of the greatest challenges. Schools have been raising tuition, trying to increase fundraising, looking to improve efficiencies and increase graduation rates to make up for declining state appropriations. But one can’t just keep raising tuition, especially at a time where the student loan market is at the brink of a crisis akin to what happened with the mortgage market years ago. Students – and parents - are looking for greater ROI on their degree and are comparing the price/value ratio of degrees at various institutions. Universities need to not only be cognizant of that, but they are also now being held more accountable to students’ success as performance requirements such as graduation rates are now tied to appropriations.
#4 – Legacy Systems
Many schools still have a bunch of legacy systems and the simple truth is that legacy systems can’t deliver
They can’t break down silos
They can’t provide a 360 view of your organization
They can’t report on performance real-time
And worse of all, the cost a fortune to upgrade and maintain
------
Background info on talking points:
#1. Consumerization of Education: The expectations of students, in terms of what they're going to tangibly get out of their experience (expectations about specific skills and where those fit in the workforce), the amenities offered by schools like private rooms/bathrooms, rock climbing walls, dining options, etc. This is combined with student knowledge that they hold the funding power -- they can take their financial aid anywhere -- so getting a good job upon graduation is beginning to outweigh the traditional experience of a liberal arts education (education for edification). Students expect to get a good ROI -- a good job for what they pay for their diploma. Student expectations of service 24x7 is expectation with most schools only available during traditional office hours. Student expectations of product delivery - bricks-and-mortar classrooms are expected to give way to consumer convenience but tenured faculty are obstacles to this.
#2. Declining population of graduating seniors; need to recruit nontraditional populations From Wiche: The high school graduating class of 2011 was the largest the nation produced, at 3.4 million. That peak marked the end of a 17-year run of continuous growth in the number of graduates, during which time graduating cohorts increased by an average of 2.2 percent annually and schools got fat/lazy. The low point is this year, in 2013-14, and is projected to be down about 190,000 from the peak, or about 5.6 percent. The shift has been jarring for institutions that have grown accustomed to continuous year-over-year increases in the pool of potential applicants, especially selective institutions that serve a mostly traditional-aged student population. Compounding the decrease in population is the increase in diversity; with that increase coming in populations that traditionally don't attend college From Wiche: The impact of this overall projected decline is compounded by escalating racial/ethnic diversification of our nation, which is exaggerated among young people. We project that public high school graduating classes are inching ever closer to becoming “majority-minority,” in which no single race/ethnicity accounts for 50 percent of the total. By 2019-20 White non-Hispanics are projected to be 55.4 percent of graduates, down 7 percentage points from their share in 2008-09. These changes are due mainly to two long-term trends: a precipitous drop in the number of White non-Hispanic graduates that is traceable to the end of high volume of births during the Baby Boom Echo, combined with a substantial increase in Hispanic graduates. These two trends largely balance one another – relative to 2008-09, about 222,000 fewer White non-Hispanic graduates and 197,000 more Hispanic graduates are expected by 2019-20. To a lesser degree, projected growth in Asians/Pacific Islanders also adds to the diversification of graduates, although their growth is largely offset by projected declines in Black non-Hispanics. The decline forces dependence on nontraditional students There is an increased emphasis on recruiting transfer students at the undergraduate level. Some schools are focusing on recruiting master's students to offset the loss in undergraduates while others are focusing on working adults interested in career advancement and lifelong learners.
#3. Funding Challenges: Tuition restraint and graduation rates are tied to funding . There are also stricter federal financial aid regulations Means students have limited time to receive financial aid; must maintain academic standards to receive financial aid; and have to repay financial aid for dropped courses; but all of these burdens fall administratively and financially on the schools. This results in holds on students' accounts, meaning they cannot register (or graduate) or transfer credits to another school. The federal government also posts a scorecard that helps consumers (parents/students) understand KPIs of their selected schools. This is especially damning for schools whose mission is access (as opposed to selectivity).
Financial Aid regulations (http://www.ifap.ed.gov/ifap/), especially these three:
Terms: The number of terms a student may receive financial aid has been reduced to 12 (six years at two terms per year). That is why the six-year graduation rate has become so important. Note: This is cumulative, so students who bounce around community colleges taking one or two classes will run out of funding.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP): Students must meet three standards.
-Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA): 2.0 for undergraduate and PharmD programs, 3.0 for graduate programs
-Completion Percentage (Pace): At least 67% of all credit hours attempted must have successfully passing grades. The pace of progress is calculated by dividing cumulative hours that you have successfully completed by the cumulative hours you have attempted.
-Maximum Time Frame: Undergraduate and graduate students must complete a degree or certificate program in no more than 150% of the average published length of the program in credit hours.
Return of Title IV Funding (R2T4): Students who drop all courses, are required to repay federal aid based on the percentage of the semester that was completed. Schools are expected to repay the federal government and collect from the student. Until the student repays this amount, the student will not be able to continue at this or any other school (unless he starts over). This will mean millions in returned funding by schools to the federal government and students will have holds on their accounts, which will not only hurt the students but will hurt graduation rates. This makes retention very important and early warning a key to retention.
Key Takeaway:
A Connected Campus connects to their students by better connecting internally: creating a 360 degree view and leveraging social and mobile technologies to forge more meaningful intimate and enduring relationships on which you can measure your performance.
Talk Track:
The answer to not being left behind is the Connected Campus. A connected campus connects your entire university or college so you can
Improve recruiting
Ensure student success
Raise more funds
Communicate more effectively
Build and foster a community of collaboration
This is done by having a 360 degree view of the student, placing the student at the center of everything you do, and leveraging mobile and social technologies to create and nurture those relationships. By being completely student centric you can break down silos by having visibility to all touchpoints and interactions your school has with students. This type of transparency also lends itself to better reporting capabilities so you can measure and demonstrate your impact.
Backoffice systems: Important but they are static
Platform: You can integrate
At top you have constituents: They can directly engage with you through communities – you know who they are
Now you can be more effective at marketing to them.
This vastly helps you recruit & raise more money
Additionally, it helps the student experience.
