What do the next 10 years hold for global higher education?

What do the next 10 years hold for global higher education? In 2006, an international group of Fulbright New Century Scholars came together to discuss the challenges facing higher education – from massification of higher education and the transformation of higher education from a public good to a private good to the knowledge economy and the impact of new technologies. Fifteen years on, those challenges are still with us and we are also facing the fallout from COVID-19. It is an opportune moment to look at them again.

In the countries where mass systems of higher education were already established by the end of the 20th century, massification driven by the social aspirations of the population has now reached the 50% mark, the level of high participation.

Author discusses his book on achieving racial equity on campuses

A: Thank you for calling attention to this foundational point of the book. The history of higher education contains a steady trajectory of infusing race and supporting racism in and through colleges and universities without necessarily calling attention to the everyday reality of these perspectives and operations. For example, the histories of early college life show that while white men from well-connected families were trained to take over family business, enter medicine or pursue a life as clergymen, higher education was also weaponized to perpetuate the slave economy and promote genocide of Indigenous communities. Since these early days, race has been a central feature of how universities form policies, procedures and what is taught in classrooms and laboratories across historical eras.
