why?

I'm unclear who the intended audience is for this publication but, as a retired professor, I found it to be overly simplistic and not relevant. There is nothing "new" being presented here. Higher Education needs a serious overall. While you write about workforce integration and interdisciplinary classes, you mention nothing about AI. You don't write about any of the latest strategies for learning when significant numbers of students are coming to college with ADHD or are on the spectrum. Seems to me someone was checking off a box on their yearly evaluation.
