The Future of Higher Education
Jeffrey Selingo, Bill Achtmeyer, Rafael Bras, Mitch Daniels, Yoshimasa Hayashi, Candace Thille
Facing record tuition discount rates and a growing skills gap where 89% of employers find graduates unprepared, higher education is pivoting from a traditional four-year degree model to a "100-year lifetime" framework of recurrent, skills-based learning. Leaders at institutions like Georgia Tech and Purdue, notably Mitch Daniels, are driving this transformation through aggressive online expansion, AI integration, and financial innovations like Income Share Agreements to ensure affordability and relevance. As smaller schools face potential closure, the sector is consolidating around agile, market-driven models that treat credentials as dynamic data sets of verified competencies rather than static diplomas.

A panel of higher education leaders including Eduardo Padron, Ted Mitchell, and Carol Quinlan identifies a systemic failure to convert increased student access into degree completion and employability. The discussion highlights critical barriers such as state disinvestment, regulatory rigidity regarding seat time, and a misalignment between curricula and labor market needs. To resolve these issues, experts propose shifting toward student-centric competency portfolios, establishing seamless regional pathways, and renegotiating the sector's social contract to prove tangible value to taxpayers.

Dinner Panel - The Defining Issues Facing America
Evan Bayh, Bob Casey, Bob Corker, Mitch Daniels, Jessica Yellin
Prominent policymakers including Senators Bob Corker, Evan Bayh, and Bob Casey, alongside Governor Mitch Daniels, convened to address the looming $1.2 trillion sequestration and the urgent need for a structural "grand bargain" involving tax reform and entitlement changes. The panelists identified extreme political polarization and the upcoming Supreme Court decision on the Affordable Care Act as primary barriers to fiscal stability, while simultaneously analyzing the negative impact of Super PACs on the current election cycle. Despite skepticism regarding immediate legislative success in the "lame duck" session, the group agreed that sustained economic pressure and public frustration will likely compel a bipartisan solution within the next two years.
