Abstract

This chapter describes how Wester University, a global university system, navigated the dimensions of crisis arising from recent pandemic conditions. Placing the university's strategies for sustainability in a broader context, the author considers the impact to students and institutions of threats to health and safety, economic disruption, and needed reckoning with issues of isolation, racism, and discrimination. The author reflects on the pandemic's effects on the accelerating threats to higher education's academic and business models, drawing insights from research and experience for rebuilding after crisis.
