About this episode

The episode discusses the evolving landscape of higher education and the challenges faced by traditional funding models.

The funding and operational models attendant to college and university infrastructure and facilities have remained largely unaltered for nearly 100 years. But shifts in demographics, new economic and financial challenges, and changing attitudes toward higher education have raised numerous questions. Partner Brian Sedlak welcomes Christopher Good, a managing director at RBC Capital Markets, and Mike Mitchell, a research administrator at The Ohio State University. They discuss the evolving higher education landscape, pressures on the traditional revenue streams, and P3s (Public Private Partnerships) in university settings.
