Many call themselves “futurists” — Bryan actually knows how to do it.
Bryan Alexander is perhaps higher education’s most prominent intellectual provocateur.
–The Chronicle of Higher Education
One of the most creative and perceptive people in higher education today!
Is @BryanAlexander a wizard because he wrote about the possibility of a pandemic in 2018? He says he has a beard like one.
“Hardest working man in edtech!”
Gotta love @BryanAlexander‘s ability to catalyze a conversation without leaning on hyperbole or triggers.
This is so well-structured and thoughtful that it almost made me forget I was terrified while reading it.
When @BryanAlexander is futuring about you, you’d better start futuring yer own dang self!
Your prescience is wild.
[F]uturist and higher-ed guru Bryan Alexander…

Several Pennsylvania public universities may merge or close by 2018
The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) is considering merging and/or closing some of its campuses this year. The system’s chancellor spoke openly of this to local media. This is beyond the queen sacrifice model, although perhaps they’ll fall … Continue reading
American higher ed enrollment declines, again
The total number of students enrolled in American colleges and universities declined in fall 2016, according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. I should say: declined again, because as my readers know, higher education enrollment has been sliding down without … Continue reading
How academia adjunctified faculty and mainstreamed the queen sacrifice
A new Education Dive article offers a fascinating datapoint about queen sacrifices. It’s actually focused on two recent American Institutes for Research reports on the economic impact of adjunctification, which are very useful, but the Dive’s conclusion is remarkable. Needless to say, … Continue reading
Another effect of rising income inequality: charitable giving has changed
What does increasing income inequality mean for higher education? I’ve been investigating this for several years, addressing different implications. Today I’d like to touch on another aspect, that of charitable donations. Many American educational institutions benefit from philanthropy, from universities … Continue reading

Another American campus has embarked on a queen sacrifice. This time it’s Colby-Sawyer College in New Hampshire, and the pattern is all too familiar. The small college is laying off staff and faculty. That means “seven faculty members and 11 … Continue reading
New findings on income inequality, and there's very little good news
Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez are probably the world’s leading scholars of economic inequality. They, with Gabriel Zucman, just published a new working paper on the subject with updated findings. The results of “Distributional National Accounts: Methods and Estimates for … Continue reading
Towards the future of higher education economics
Yesterday a group of us presented on the future of, well, everything. Brilliant people spoke to the future of the book, of food, and of work. In contrast, I gave a short presentation on the future of higher education economics. … Continue reading
Demographics and the future of education: lessons from a new study
As a futurist I love demographics. Unlike, say, technology, pop culture, or policy, demographics change verrrrrrrry slowly. Once a population is born, it’s easier to trace its outlines and project them forward than it is to extrapolate from nearly any … Continue reading
One new approach to funding American public education
The state of Kentucky is considering an interesting new method for funding public colleges and universities. It’s worth looking into because it could point the way for other states. It also embodies several trends we’ve been discussing. The key theme … Continue reading
How Americans are using social media in 2016: essential new Pew report
How do Americans use social media? This is a question of vital importance to educators, and of especial moment during this election season. It’s one I’ve been tracking since before it was called Web 2.0. The Pew team has just … Continue reading
