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…

Another campus sacrifices the queen: IPFW to cut programs, majors, departments
Back on the queen sacrifice beat, I find another American campus intending to cut academic programs and perhaps faculty. This time it’s Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne, much more commonly referred to as IPFW. After a recommendation process earlier … Continue reading
New data on student debt
How much do students owe in college loans? New data has just appeared from the Institute for College Access & Success (ICAS or TICAS) , and their report is essential, if unsurprising, reading for anyone interested in American post-secondary education. Some … Continue reading

Thinking about Alvin Toffler on the occasion of his death
“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” Alvin Toffler died last month. There have been many obituaries and reflections, appropriately enough, given his and his … Continue reading
American tv "news" networks look blearily at the mirror and swear to change, for real this time
Media coverage of the 2016 American presidential campaign has become so terrible that even tv “news” people are starting to question themselves. They worry that the relentless pursuit of ratings has led them to abandon journalistic principle, and maybe even … Continue reading
Here's a wild thought: states could help the poorest colleges and universities
How can America help students complete undergraduate degrees? The “completion agenda” (for example) has driven a lot of discussion and experimentation of late, especially as the student loan debt crisis (which especially hurts those don’t get a degree) continues. Bridget Terry … Continue reading
A helpful look at the whole of American higher ed, not just a few campuses
I’ve been writing for a while about the problem of mistaking a handful of American campuses for the whole of postsecondary education. All too often public discourse and educators’ own discussions massively overfocus on the Ivies, skewing our understanding. Today’s … Continue reading
