The panelists emphasized the need for higher education to determine new ways for “reskilling” workers due to changes in business ecosystem models, the urgency of addressing issues related to the structural inequities of institutional racism, and the opportunity to clearly define, as a whole and at the individual institution level, a compelling value proposition.
