Innovating the Higher Ed Business Model

Published: Sept. 4, 2021, 5:14 p.m.

Podcast Summary

Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Dr. Melik Khoury, president of Unity College, about the institution\u2019s out-of-the-box thinking that is creating a new business model for higher education.

Podcast Highlights

  • Higher education is built on a traditional system that was developed by elite institutions. However, the model isn\u2019t sustainable for educating a broader group of students.
  • Colleges and universities should look at their missions and their policies to see if these are still valid\u2014and whether they may be holding the institution back in some ways.
  • Innovation doesn\u2019t need to look the same across the institution\u2019s campus. Different departments can focus on building innovative programs that meet the specific needs of a group of students. Through taking ownership of these programs, leadership gets built throughout the institution.
