The outcome is bad for students and industries alike: a lack of social mobility and a lack of qualified workers.

Old-school bots are pieces of malware that infiltrate your environment and infect devices on your networks. Attackers can then remotely control the bots on those devices to steal data and launch a staggering variety of additional attacks directed at either other university systems or third parties.

It may be time to rethink the college minor. Instead of or in addition to minors, higher education stakeholders may want to consider partnering with employers—both public and private—to create pathways toward certifications specifically designed to help students enter the workforce with higher-paying jobs.

After reading the article “Another Education Fight Over DEI Emerges…” on CNN.com, a daunting thought came over me. Some faculty in Texas may not be expected to demonstrate proficiency in knowledge transfer. This leaves in question whether it is considered a bona fide qualification or a valued skill. The article seems to make clear that incorporating a DEI statement into the application folio of faculty is not considered necessary.

IT roadmaps in higher education look quite a bit different in 2023 than they did just a few years ago. The standardization of hybrid and remote learning has reshaped how universities deliver learning to students, and that has reshaped the role technology plays in their education. IT departments have never been more critical to university operations, and as institutions look to the future, CIOs and other top decision-makers in the IT department should be heavily involved in top-level planning.
