Agile Characteristics of a University(for flexible response to change)
Why Agility is Needed1. State funding of colleges is declining.
Ex. Penn State at http://www.budget.psu.edu/factbook/Finance2011/AppropriationVsTuitonFees1112.asp
2. Increased student loans and unprecedented student debt.Average of $35,051 per student in 2015 class. (MarketWatch May 9, 2015)Total of 1.2 trillion for all students. (USA Today April 8, 2015 )
3. Graduates are underemployed.Average annual pay is $35,339. (2080 hours x $6.99). 8-9% are unemployed.
What can universities do?
1. Argue for increased state funding.
2. Reduce mission creep.
3.Lower the cost of education for students by means of agile courses.
