WHY MUST HIGHER EDUCATION UNDERGO TRANSFORMATION?
19
Disruptive Transformations
Significant periodic transitions that are highly disruptive to an industry or economic sector
Brought on by: new technology, consumer needs/demand, and cost pressures
Many examples in our lifetime include: Media Financial Institutions Healthcare

Higher Education Transformation…Why?
1. Cost Trend is Not Sustainable Today’s institutions of higher education are
extraordinarily complex organizations with significant resources tied up in overhead and administrative costs.
Three decades of 6 percent to 7 percent annual price increases have put college beyond the means of most families (without substantial grants and/or resorting to substantial student loans).*

21
Higher Education Transformation…Why?
2. Consumer Demand is Growing and Changing The high school diploma has been supplanted by the
college degree as the ticket required for economic advancement. The income advantage offered by a college degree is double what it was a generation ago.*
The number of non-traditional students is growing. Individuals are in need of affordable paths to qualifications
necessary for economic advancement, resulting in a untapped market.

22
Higher Education Transformation…Why?
3. New Technology Online learning offers significant potential for higher
education to transform its basic business model. New technology is increasing the number of disruptive
entrants in the higher education market such as DeVry Western Governors University MIT’s OpenCourseware
23
LSU’s Transformation Imperatives
Refocus energy and resources on academics Develop and leverage alternative revenue sources Serve the economic and workforce development
needs of the state and students Improve quality through innovative delivery
