Higher Ed's Big Restructuring: Adapting to the Era of the Modern Learner

Published on ‎08-05-2026 09:54 AM by

Higher education isn't facing just one disruption. It’s dealing with demographic shifts, affordability pressures, rapid advances in technology and a volatile policy landscape—among other pressures—all at the same time. So the question for institutional leaders is no longer whether change is coming: It’s how to redesign their institutions to succeed in this emerging operating environment. 

Join Inside Higher Ed for a discussion inspired by our new special report, “Higher Ed's Big Restructuring: Adapting to the Era of the Modern Learner.” The live discussion will explore how colleges and universities are moving beyond incremental change to rethink academic programs, learner pathways, technology, workforce partnerships and the student experience.

A panel of higher education leaders and experts will discuss questions including:

  • How should institutions respond to growing demand for flexible, career-connected learning? 
  • What does artificial intelligence require leaders to rethink beyond classroom policy? 
  • How can colleges better serve learners across multiple generations and stages of life? 
  • What organizational, technological and cultural changes will position institutions for long-term success?
