COVID-19 has placed American higher education at a crossroads. This
book is the roadmap. COVID-19 triggered an existential crisis for
American higher education. Faced with few safe choices, most
colleges and universities switched to remote learning during the
2020 spring semester. The future, however, provides more choices
about how institutions can fulfill their mission of teaching and
research. But how do we begin to make decisions in an uncertain and
shifting environment? In this concise guide, authors Edward J.
Maloney and Joshua Kim lay out clear ways colleges and universities
can move forward in safe and effective ways. The Low-Density
University presents fifteen scenarios for how colleges and
universities can address the current crisis from a fully online
semester to others with students in residence and in the classroom.
How can changing the calendar or shifting to hybrid models of
blended classrooms impact teaching, learning, and the college
experience? Could we emerge from this crisis with new models that
are better and more adapted to today's world? The Low-Density
University focuses primarily on teaching and learning, but student
life (housing, athletics, health, etc.) are core to the college
experience. Can we devise safe and effective ways to preserve the
best of that experience? The lessons here extend beyond the
classroom. Just as the pandemic will change American higher
education, the choices we make now will change what college looks
like for generations to come.
