In the last exciting episode, I opined that higher education is not a spectator sport.  In America, it’s also not a team sport. Ben Franklin is credited with saying, “We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.” In this episode I’ll consider how this admonition to American revolutionaries applies to higher education today.  There are multiple political, cultural and financial pressures facing all of higher ed, yet we often see institutions struggling with these individually, rather than leveraging the considerable talent and resources of higher education as an integrated sector to present a united front to pursue resolution to the benefit of all.
