Building a New Business Model for the Academy

Partnerships, Affiliations, Mergers, & Acquisitions

Business as usual in higher education is over.

The current business model centered on credit-hour tuition, high overhead costs, and outdated funding styles is being redefined by a flourishing online sector, rapidly changing student populations and workforce demands. Rising costs of attendance, demands for efficiency, and increased attention to return on investment are forcing higher education to rethink its path forward.

SUNYCON 2015 will explore some of our most pressing questions: 

• What do colleges and universities need to do today to ensure future strength and relevance?
• How do the academy, government, business, and the philanthropic sector work together effectively to create resilient and sustainable communities? 
• How does higher education adapt to the changing demands of society without compromising the core academic mission?    

Higher education is not alone in facing seismic change to its business model. By learning how other sectors have adapted, we can better navigate our own resurgence.
