Educause Releases the Top 10 Report Predicting Where Higher Ed Will Be in 2026
IBL News | Nashville, Tennessee
Educause yesterday released its Top 10 list of where higher education is headed in 2026 during the second day of its annual conference, which gathered around 7,600 educational professionals (15% over expectation) on October 28 -30 in Nashville, Tennessee.
This ranking was primarily focused on cultivating a data-centric culture and building collective will around technology initiatives.
“Tensions around free speech and ideological differences in the classroom are leaving leaders and faculty uncertain about their future in academia. And the financial stability of many institutions, and of Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) in particular, is increasingly strained by reductions in federal support,” said Educause. “We must find ways to cultivate human connection, both within ourselves and with one another.”
Traditionally, the Top 10 report, which highlights how technology leaders are thinking about and planning, serves as a guide for institutions to move forward.
This year, the Top 10 was presented by Dr. Crista Copp, Vice President of Research at Educause, and Dr. Mark McCormack, Senior Director of Analytics & Research.
