“Nearly one-third of the world’s population (29.3%) is under 15. Today there are 158 million people enrolled in tertiary education1. Projections suggest that that participation will peak at 263 million2 in 2025. Accommodating the additional 105 million students would require more than four major universities (30,000 students) to open every week for the next fifteen years.

“In the view of many college and university presidents, the three main factors in higher education—cost, quality, and access—exist in what we call an iron triangle. These factors are linked in an unbreakable reciprocal relationship, such that any change in one will inevitably impact the others.”
- Public Agenda research on opinions of higher education
presidents

But institutions haven’t – and “can’t”
The “Iron Triangle” suggests institutions are constrained in their ability to adapt
The Iron Triangle• Three concepts dominate the concerns
presidents: – increasing cost of higher education– challenge of providing access– need to maintain and improve educational quality
• Three missions in tension:– Access up = quality down and/or costs up– Quality up = access down and/or costs up– Costs down = quality down and/or access down
vs.
Rivalrous vs. Non-Rivalrous Resources

Partner with Legislators who care about:
(a) efficient use of national / state
tax dollars; (b) saving students money;
(c) increasing access to education
• Cooperate & share = We all Win– Faculty have new choices when building
learning spaces.– …the more eyes on a problem, the greater
chance for a solution.• Affordability: students can’t afford
textbooks• Self-interest: good things happen
when I share• It’s a social justice issue: everyone
should have the right to access digital knowledge.
Why is “Open” Important?
