Ed Chancellor

Today we’re talking to Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Ed Chancellor Daniel Greenstein.  Chancellor Greenstein is feeling optimistic about where we are in the pandemic, and is proud of what Pennsylvania institutions have overcome and achieved despite everything happening this past year.  When deciding about the kind of role he was interested in pursuing after leaving his post as the Director of Postsecondary Education for the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation, Greenstein says he was looking for universities and systems that served large numbers of the students he’s passionate about: low-income, first generation and students of color.  Since arriving in Pennsylvania, Chancellor Greenstein says  he and his team has spent a lot of time putting operational levers in place. The declining state investment by Pennsylvania has driven increases in tuition and negatively impacted affordability for Pennsylvanians. He raised the complex challenges the state is facing and voiced his appreciation for the faculty, staff, administrators, board members, and students banding together to identify the path forward. He shared that there was clear urgency to make some design changes given the current realities of the state, the system, and higher education trends. With a 21% decrease in student enrollment and a 62% increase in net average cost of attendance, Pennsylvania is facing significant pressure that will likely be experienced by other states very soon. Chancellor Greenstein says from a leadership standpoint you need to be ruthlessly transparent.  By not acting we’re sacrificing the future of the state and students.  We can’t afford to point fingers or look back, we need to keep looking forward. -- Welcome to innovating together, a podcast produced by the University Innovation Alliance. This is a podcast for busy people in higher education who are looking for the “aha moments” that can propel their work forward. Innovating Together curates the best insights, research, and experts.

Interview with Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Ed Chancellor Daniel Greenstein

Dr. Daniel Greenstein serves as director of Education, Postsecondary Success in the United States Program, for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Before joining the foundation, Greenstein was Vice Provost for Academic Planning and Programs at the University of California Office of the President. In his current capacity, he oversees work to substantially increase the number of students who acquire a post-secondary degree or certificate. Dr. Greenstein frames the conversation for us around the following key points:  How do we address the significant gaps in our workforce development needs as we head toward 2025? What is the role in seeking business efficiency in building a sustainable institutional future? Are we doing enough to be genuinely disruptive? How may our emerging divide in civil dialogue impact student enrollment patterns and the diverse makeup of our institutions?  Dr. Greenstein takes on these questions in the context of student success, and as powerful factors in the sustainable financial success of our institutions. This is a conversation about innovation, disruption, and engaging in an effort to take on bold ideas in support of our own future as educators.
