Who are the “customers” of higher education—students or employers? Scott Pulsipher, President of Western Governors University, joined the Future of Education to give his take on this age-old question and discuss how colleges can achieve mutual benefit for both parties. Scott analyzed how the needs of students and employers overlap; the measures that matter to drive outcomes for both, and how to identify the skills of the future in a dynamic and fast-changing landscape. As always, subscribers can listen to the episode, watch the video, or read the transcript.
That’s awesome. Though I am salivating as to what would happen if local in-person community campuses were redesigned to address local employment needs WGU-style...
I think that's probably why so many states are making WGU their "new" state university... whereby students can use state aid to attend. Cheaper then actually building an institution from scratch and more aligned with what they want it to do. Not replacement, but standing up an autonomous entity in essence.

Love it. To me that's the up-market step I'd love to see WGU take. Hybrid campuses with WGU approach hyper-focused on local jobs and networks!
I wonder... what would happen if one of those Western Governors decided to put WGU in charge of their community colleges?
