Stakeholders Are Shaping a New M&A Model for Higher Education

Podcast Summary

Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Dr. Dan Greenstein, chancellor of Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education, about the system’s change efforts to proactively deal with student enrollment declines and financial issues.

Podcast Highlights

• Strategically integrating institutions can allow higher education systems to address declining enrollments and revenues through consolidating efforts. This approach also allows the institution to offer a wider set of programs, which otherwise would be cut due to budget declines.
• Transparency is important in any change effort so that various stakeholders can weigh in and offer their ideas.
• Data is critical to chart the way forward to ground the change process in reality, instead of uninformed opinions.
