Restoring Trust: Higher Ed Leaders’ Top Priorities for Technology and Data in 2025


One of the annual EDUCAUSE highlights is the release of the group’s Top 10 Report. The 2025 edition describes how higher education technology and data leaders can help restore trust in the sector by building competent and caring institutions through radical collaboration. I was able to speak with Susan Grajek, Vice President of Partnerships, Communities and Research for EDUCAUSE, for a sneak peek on how the sausage was made to put together this important research. Have a listen and click through to dive into the details.

She emphasizes three main goals for higher education: enhancing institutional competence, fostering a caring environment, and balancing these two through effective leadership. Susan notes that technology and data were noted as crucial tools for achieving these aims, with priorities ranging from cybersecurity to administrative simplification, and from creating seamless student experiences to managing digital resources.
