Podcast Summary
Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Dr. Melik Khoury, president of Unity College, about the institution’s 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’t 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—and whether they may be holding the institution back in some ways.
- Innovation doesn’t need to look the same across the institution’s 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.
