Sneak preview of September issue focus

Competency-based education

This new model of higher education—where students earn credit for work experiences and demonstrating other career skills—is becoming increasingly common at two- and four-year institutions. Campus leaders, meanwhile, continue to fine-tune the concept to ensure graduates get a comprehensive education.

Keeping athletes safe

Higher education leaders face increased pressure to keep athletes safe in football and other sports. Along with state laws aimed at protecting student athletes, colleges and universities are updating their own policies and practices both on and off the field.

Inside Look: Sustainable campus buildings

University Business' "Inside Look" features take readers inside the most innovative and eye-appealing spaces on campus. This month’s photos display the latest in sustainable buildings designed to maximize resource conservation and energy efficiency.

Campus Finance: Enterprise risk management

Campus leaders should be having regular and robust discussions about the range of risks their institutions face. From physical threats to financial issues to enrollment fluctuations to construction, colleges and universities can’t delay in developing a comprehensive plan for approaching risk proactively.

Technology: Data backup

Most colleges and universities recognize the importance of backing up data. UB looks at the policies, protocols and products that institutions are using to ensure vital information is protected and easily retrieved.

On Topic

UB’s monthly Q&A with a top thought leader features The Provost’s Handbook. This collection of 17 essays by some of higher ed's most successful chief academic officers is a snapshot of an increasingly demanding and complex position. The book’s editors, James E. Samels and James Martin, discuss the CAO’s central role in the contemporary university.

Professional Opinion

In this month’s columns from higher ed thought leaders, Richard Cherwitz, director of intellectual entrepreneurship in the Office of Diversity & Community Engagement at The University of Texas at Austin, suggests an approach to ending the hierarchy of the three pillars of universities—research, teaching and service—while at the same time maintaining faculty accountability and rigorous methods of performance evaluation.
