(PL001) Changing Culture in Higher Education: The Real Planning Challenge
Presented by: Sanford Shugart, President, Valencia College

Colleges and universities have proven remarkably resilient in the face of persistent attempts to change their deep architecture – the habits, processes, and systems that make them behave the way they do.  This inner culture, however, is precisely what has to change and what integrated planning seeks to change, if our work is to produce significantly better results. Drawing on a socio-cultural history of higher education in the west, Dr. Shugart will take us on a cultural tour of the essential DNA of higher education, with architectural touch points, and describe how strategy and planning can engage cultural change.

(PL002) Learning, Freedom, and the Web
Presented by: Anya Kamenetz, Senior Writer, Fast Company, and Author

From Khan Academy to TED talks, Udacity, Edx and Coursera to badges and portfolios, we're witnessing an unprecedented disruption in higher education led by innovations like video, peer-led learning, and massively open online courses. The continuing transformation of higher education, with the twin pressures of economics and technological innovation, will challenge colleges and universities to find new efficiencies and specialization, embrace and incorporate a student's personal learning networks and paths, blend experiential and digital approaches, and adopt free and open-source educational resources. The dialogue is an evolving one, but Kamenetz will share her initial findings and asks that you consider the impact of tuition and student loans, as well as technology and social media, on higher education.

(CN167) The Time Value of Campus Space
Presented by: Ira Fink, President, Ira Fink and Associates, Inc.

Many types of space increase in value during periods of high demand and decrease in periods of low demand. Travel companies vary the cost of their space, whether it be a bedroom, a car, or an airline seat, depending upon demand. By contrast, higher education generally uses a one-size-fits-all method for pricing. This session explores the time value of campus space, including differential pricing for courses offered at low peak times, the value of closing buildings when there is no demand, reducing library hours, how to value/price a space based on its demand, and more.

Monday, July 9, 2012, 1:45 PM–2:45 PM
(CN090) Campus In the Digital Stream: More Clicks, Different Bricks
Presented by: Michael Haggans, Visiting Professor, Georgia Institute of Technology

Reports of the death of the campus are an exaggeration, but a profound transformation is now underway. From office to classroom, library to laboratory, the academic experience of students and instructors is being ever fragmented by digital means that are only months old. The synchronous sharing of place and time is increasingly rare. The campus itself is becoming one of the only experiences shared by all...just not at the same time. This session is about what is happening, what elements of campuses are of lasting functionality and value, and why they will remain while being transformed by the digital stream in which they stand.

Monday, July 9, 2012, 1:45 PM–2:45 PM
(CN019) Creating a More Honest Academic Environment

Presented by: Michael F. Middaugh, Higher Education Consultant; Elizabeth H. Sibolski, President, Middle States Commission on Higher Education; Stephen D. Spangehl, Vice President for Accreditation Relations, North Central Association of Colleges and Universities The Higher Learning Commission

In his introduction to the recent issue of Planning for Higher Education, Michael Middaugh noted that quality assurance in higher education (in other words, accreditation) is predicated on a system of voluntary peer review to ensure that colleges and universities conform to standards that define excellence within postsecondary education. Since the mid twentieth century, as the US government has devoted ever greater sums of taxpayer dollars to higher education, it has also required increased compliance with regulation via accreditation. Presenters will examine the tensions between excellence/improvement and regulatory compliance as they play out in institutional planning and assessment practices as well as through the accreditation process.

(CN273) "Abelard to Apple": The Fate of American Colleges and Universities
Presented by: Richard DeMillo, Distinguished Professor & Director, Center for 21st Century Universities, Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus

The vast majority of American college students attend two thousand or so private and public institutions that might be described as the Middle--reputable educational institutions, but not considered equal to the elite and entrenched upper echelon of the Ivy League and other prestigious schools. Richard DeMillo has a warning for these colleges and universities in the Middle: If you do not change, you are heading for irrelevance and marginalization. In Abelard to Apple, DeMillo argues that these institutions, clinging precariously to a centuries-old model of higher education, are ignoring the social, historical, and economic forces at work in today's world. In the age of iTunes, open source software, and for-profit online universities, there are new rules for higher education.

(CN028) Starting From Scratch: From Mission Statement to Complete Strategic Plan
Presented by: Joan B. McGee, Executive Director Campus Administration, College of Southern Nevada

In two years, the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) revised its mission, values, and vision, then completed a new institutional strategic plan. CSN navigated these changes efficiently thanks to an inclusive, step-by-step process. The core themes, mandated by CSN's accrediting agency, the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), were derived from the one-sentence mission statement. Goals, objectives, strategies, data sources, and timelines were defined and created through forums, open discussions, and community involvement. To keep the process on track, software sends out automatic reminders of due dates for the annual status report. CSN's process can be duplicated and could spark ideas for your institution's planning process.
