To renew education’s promise, it needs to be a pathway that can be traveled by every individual.Accountability: Every college and university should be held accountable for shifting policy away from regulating processes and toward measuring outcomes for students as it relates to improving the relevancy of learning outcomes, enhancing the student experience and reducing costs.Innovation and AI: Advances in technology—including AI—can improve the access, quality, personalization, delivery, and affordability of education. For those who adopt it, technology will help contextualize learning and dramatically increase the probability of student success.www.wgu.edu
