Higher institutions are reacting with determination and creativity to their new challenges. Budget deficits have mushroomed following sudden declines in endowment values, deep cuts in education funding, and limits on tuition increases. Competition in the global job market is making new programs, new training, and new models of instruction essential for students to obtain gainful employment after graduation. And amidst a fluctuating student population, universities and colleges are harnessing new technologies, such as e-learning, to reach even more students.
