Abstract

Taking account of the dramatic shifts in the make-up and educational and social needs of today's college students, the authors explore how to steer future reforms in ways that will advance goals related to equity and educational quality. The chapter begins with an overview of the major trends in who today's students are, what we now know about teaching and learning that advances equitable student success, and the changing global economy and workplace. Building on that analysis, the chapter explores the strengths and weaknesses of unbundling and proposes a potential new avenue for reform in liberal arts colleges making use of both unbundling and “re-bundling” of educational experiences proven to advance quality and equity.
