The Hechinger Report

In my 25 years in and around higher education, I have always subscribed to the fix and disrupt school of innovation. With this mindset, I try not to wring my hands at the fact that millions fewer learners are enrolling in college now than in 2010 the disruption is forcing higher education to innovate.
