In this episode of The Enrollment Clinic, I sit down with Dr. Linda Robertson, a seasoned higher education leader and former director at Kent State University, to discuss the evolving landscape of higher ed leadership. We explore key topics such as accreditation, institutional transformation, and the challenges facing universities today. Drawing from her book, Bullshit with Cream on It, Dr. Robertson shares how leadership lessons from her Wyoming ranch upbringing shaped her approach to guiding universities through accreditation, faculty engagement, and strategic decision-making.

We also tackle the future of higher education: What must institutions do to remain relevant in the age of AI and rapid technological change? How can universities shift from reactive to proactive leadership? And what’s missing in today’s conversations about education reform?

If you’re involved in university administration, enrollment management, or higher ed strategy, this episode is packed with insights to help navigate the shifting terrain of higher education.
