I have a new article out. It’s called “Reshaping the University” (pdf), and is part of the Association of Professional Futurists’ regular Compass report.
It’s a briefing about current trends, following my FTTE work, and aimed at a general audience.

Many call themselves “futurists” — Bryan actually knows how to do it.
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.

One “macro” advantage of college is that it delays entrance into the labor force. Given the persistence of high unemployment/under employment, it is not clear that the “new economy” can handle more young people (especially males) opting for the labor force instead of college.
That’s a good and disturbing point, Rodney. Like demobilizing an army, there’s the problem of finding jobs for newly available would-be workers.
Perhaps that’s one reason for the growth of part-time employment, a/k/a “the gig economy”. It’s *some* work.

Do read the whole Special Issue but take particular note of Bryan’s “Reshaping the University” (p 8) and Sara Robinson’s “Overhauling higher education” (p 5)
