THE Leaders Survey: Will Covid-19 leave universities in intensive care?

Can the current Covid-19 crisis open a feasible path to a novel Slow University approach? A book published one year ago ("The Decline and Renaissance of Universities: Moving from the Big Brother University to the Slow University" published by Springer) includes the conjecture that e-learning will be a driver of the forthcoming decline of "modern" utilitarian university (one out of three major drivers).

Concerning the discussion and different points of view on online and blended learning, my view is that it does not have to be an "either one or the other" dichotomy. The key will be a diverse and inclusive approach, in my opinion, taking all the means of higher education delivery as complementary to each other, and not necessarily alternatives. An overall higher education experience can -and does, indeed- encompass all different delivery modes for any student, depending on the student profile and other factors such as time and location. This can make higher education "blended" for all, by definition, and can render the entire "delivery mode" taxonomy redundant.

Universities, like other institutions, will have to adjust to many new realities and not make adjustments based on their hopes-for expectations. It is well established that expectations and reality always differ for individuals, communities and organizations. As such universities should make immediate readjustments. Covid is forcing universities to address issues that should have been addressed long ago: the need for blended learning, the need to stop increasing fees under the guise of University teaching, the need to really retrain academic staff In order to shift from.lecturing to teaching in order to add more value to what students are getting and this attract more students, the need to prioritize the education being offered and not the business aspects of University oprrations.
