This week, Education Dive caught up with University of Dayton President to learn more about how the institution opts for a 20-year outlook in lieu of traditional strategic planning, and how social media plays into its strategy.
Also in higher ed, new reports highlighted the increasing importance of data science and analytics skills in the workforce, as well as the out-of-reach nature of 95% of higher ed institutions for low-income students.
