   2. “We will see businesses employing less people with degrees and employing people with micro credentials that they learn incrementally as they go.”
   3. “To survive, colleges and universities must collaborate. We need to see that universities are a place to learn from leading experts in the world instead of places where senior management fixate on branding and marketing to compete and communicate that their university is best.”
