Public Universities of The Future: COVID, Social Unrest, And Opportunities

This session will offer insights on challenges many public institutions of higher education are experiencing in the face of the pandemic and how they can effectively respond. In their 2018 book, Land-Grant Universities for the Future, the authors discuss concerns about funding challenges, the focus on access and affordability, and the benefits of higher education. Those topics now seem as relevant as ever. How can institutions rise to meet these challenges?
