CHEMA Looks at the Future of Higher Education, 2006

This survey instrument is part of a project sponsored by CHEMA to look at the future of higher education from the perspective of its members. The project will examine how the executives who lead higher education's support functions anticipate that higher education will change over the next 10 years. It will identify the drivers of change and discuss the types of opportunities and threats these leaders foresee for higher education, their institutions, and their functional areas. The research will look at how some of these forces are creating change across multiple functional areas. To the extent that change is anticipated, we will also examine how prepared institutions are to manage change. Finally, the project will identify areas in which these leaders believe higher education can act to shape its own future. The project will be conducted by a research team from the EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR).
