- 11. IT funding and operations Drop? • Suspicion that IT is a carbon hog • Part of general financial stress
- 12. IT funding and operations Transform • Climate mitigation mission • Climate audit • More politicized

- Great Academic Migration
- About a dozen distinct institutions, some with several branch campuses in the area.
- Speaking of the human species, let’s take a look at that powerful force, demographic transition. There are several demographic trends at work, including increasing urbanization and the shrinkage of rural life. For now let’s focus on the triumph of modernity and its impact on lifespans and birth. Simply put, we tend to live longer while producing fewer children.

- Cut back long trips? Move to a blended form?
- Scenario 2 is the opposite, National College - focus on one nation, little international student or faculty engagement. Regulation and accreditation are national or even more localized. Academic research has national party characteristics (celebrating or ignoring certain ethnic groups; certain sciences downplayed or emphasized; humanities reshaped accordingly).
- Also: families downshifting
- International higher ed? Collaboration Defensive localization
- Obviously driven by nationalist, antiglobalization movements, which can be defined by various forms of right wing politics.
- We’ve seen small signs of this in controversies over language of instruction, with calls to either teach a global language – i.e., English – or to teach in a local tongue. We’ve also seen it in the Hungarian government’s successful expulsion of a university.
- Why I am speaking to you? Some of you know my work already, so I won’t recap by vita. Instead, let me get to the point. I recently published a book about the future of higher education.
