Weekly Wisdom | Future of Higher Education With Paul LeBlanc
Once AI can do so much of what a university used to think only it could teach, what is a university actually for?
In this episode of Weekly Wisdom, Bridget Burns, University Innovation Alliance, and Sara Custer, Inside Higher Ed, step back to reflect on what’s happening across the sector right now.
In this conversation, they explore:
• Why Inside Higher Ed is shifting to a subscription model and what sustainable journalism requires
• The complexity of measuring postcollege mobility
• The risks and responsibilities surrounding AI vendor contracts
• Federal policy pressures and institutional bandwidth
• Workforce alignment and the future of work-based learning
• Why change is difficult—but inaction is riskier
This episode offers a candid look at how organizations evolve—and what higher ed leaders should be paying attention to now.
