The Future of Higher Education: Divided We Fail?

Divided We Fail: Why it’s Time for a Broader, More Inclusive Conversation on the Future of Higher Education 

A 2014 Report by Public Agenda

This is a final report on the 2013 National Issues Forums on higher education using the issue guide Shaping Our Future: How Should Higher Education Help Us Create the Society We Want?

This report describes the thinking of college students, parents, professors, employers, retirees, and others who have gathered in more than 115 public forums around the country to deliberate on the future of higher education. Held under the auspices of the National Issues Forums Institute (NIFI), in collaboration with the American Commonwealth Partnership (ACP), and The Democracy Commitment (TDC), these deliberative forums began in summer 2012 and will continue through summer 2014. All three conveners are nonprofit, nonpartisan organizations.
