One could reasonably wonder whether it is all over for traditional colleges and universities, especially four-year institutions and most especially the big research universities. I believe they will survive if they are adept in strategic thinking and resolute in their determination to make the changes necessary to survive and thrive. After all, universities have many advantages in this survival competition. These advantages include the professoriate. They also have their campuses, where the great majority of students want to be. As Christensen says, campuses are “founts of discovery.” Given these advantages, it still seems long-term survival requires big changes.
