Staley and Dominic D. J. Endicott argue that the location of a college or university is a necessary piece of any region's effort to attract remote knowledge workers, and thus accelerate economic development and creative place-making. Just as every town expects a church, bank branch, post office, and coffee house, a decentralized network of institutions of higher education will flourish, acting as cornerstones for the post-pandemic rebuilding of our society and economy. In calling for a "college in any town," they are not simply proposing placing a traditional college within a town or city, envisioning instead a particular kind of higher education institution called a "knowledge enterprise." In addition to providing the services of a traditional college, a knowledge enterprise acts as a talent magnet, attracting workers looking to move to cheaper and more attractive destinations.With the post-COVID-19 shift to more remote work, and millions of people moving to more affordable and livable cities, a place that wants to attract talent will require a thriving academic environment. This represents a new opportunity for "town and gown" to create thriving collaborative communities. The pandemic has accelerated existing trends that put at risk the viability of many colleges and universities, as well as that of many towns and cities. The talent magnet strategy outlined in this book offers colleges and towns a plan of action for regeneration"--Provided by publisher."This book takes up the question of how higher education institutions could benefit from serving new settlers in the migration catalyzed by the shift to remote work"--Provided by publisher.Higher Education and the City Universities and collegesPlanningfast(OCoLC)fst01161835Knowledge managementfast(OCoLC)fst00988184Educational changefast(OCoLC)fst00903371Education, HigherAims and objectivesfast(OCoLC)fst00903015Economicsfast(OCoLC)fst00902116Alternative educationfast(OCoLC)fst00806145BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / EducationbisacshEDUCATION / Schools / Levels / HigherbisacshCOVID-19 Pandemic, 2020-Economic aspectsKnowledge managementUnited StatesUniversities and collegesUnited StatesPlanningEducational changeUnited StatesAlternative educationUnited StatesEducation, HigherAims and objectivesUnited StatesUnited StatesfastElectronic books.
