| Higher education must adapt to the current evolving technological and financial environment in order to survive. The purpose of this paper is to suggest ethnographic change theory as a framework for the discourse regarding the philosophy of higher education in the professional schools. This theory gives us an approach to thinking about the potential impact of environmental changes on the philosophy of higher education. Understanding the philosophy of higher education in the context of change theory can facilitate development of administrative and faculty strategies that support institutional sustainability while maintaining the integrity of its mission. |
