8 Reasons This Coming Year Could Be The Hardest Yet For Higher Ed
"Leaders across higher education are breathing a collective sigh of relief this summer after arguably the most challenging year of their careers during the pandemic. With high vaccination rates, plummeting COVID cases and deaths, and near-full re-openings across the states, U.S. higher education seems poised to rebound this coming academic year.
