Changing HE Futures - Good or Bad for Sustainability?
www.goodcampus.org Slide 2 HE FUTURES We need to design a system
that's built to last and, given that we will need some radical
thinking to succeed in the world we are entering, I suggest we
think hard before deeming any proposition "off limits Slide 3 HE
FUTURES Students - numbers, demands Slide 4 HE FUTURES Changing
students - numbers, demands Competition Tight finances Efficiency
& effectiveness Porosity - lifelong learning - blog science
Thanks to Michael Nielson Slide 5 HE FUTURES Changing students -
numbers, demands Competition Tight finances Efficiency &
effectiveness Porosity - lifelong learning - blog science New
models - digitally driven Slide 6 NEW MODELS US For Profit Degree
Bodies - 7% of all college students - 9% pa growth - compared to
1.5% pa for traditional 455,600 students 200 locations Average
tuition fees - $14,174 - compared to $7,020 at a state university
Slide 7 We recognize that separating humanity from nature, from the
whole of life, leads to humankind's own destruction and to the
death of nations. Only through a re-integration of humanity into
the whole of nature can our people be made stronger SUSTAINABILITY
PAST Slide 8 Slide 9 SUSTAINABILITY FUTURES New/rethought problems
& solutions More intellectually diverse - less consensus More
Asian Slide 10 Broader world view/values - serving society (aka
customer) - frugality, humility, smoothness/harmony Lean
manufacturing - customer satisfaction - quality - systemic
elimination of mura ("unevenness") - energy efficiency/waste
reduction a by product of a holistic, value driven approach Slide

Sustainability/strategy alignment Lean, high performance models -
quality without quantity Space utilisation Rethinking
science/technology education A more strategic view of
infrastructure - smart buildings, cyber college, cloud-based
services - outsourcing enabling integration Ensuring a green IT
infrastructure Professional/technical staff as a learning resource
