Image: Jon Turk recently rejoined ACENet's podcast DotEDU as a guest in the "What Covid-19 Has Taught Higher Education Leaders" episode (June 17, 2021). He shared on-going findings from a partnership between TIAA Research and ACE to survey college and university presidents through the pandemic. The short "presidential pulse surveys" began in April 2020 and have been administered repeatedly since. Turk and David Richardson, managing director of research for the TIAA Institute, shared top priorities and concerns expressed by presidents. The discussion focused on student support for both well-being and academic success, updating practices that stand in the way of the students, declines in enrollments, revenue generation and financial impacts, operational plans and work environments, and DEI initiatives.
