Where AI Adoption Is A Fight For Survival, Not A Race For Innovation
In a landscape where colleges and universities face not just innovation, but survival, Collegis Education CEO Kim Fahey argues in her latest piece for Forbes that the AI revolution in higher education isn’t unfolding in the classroom — it’s happening behind the scenes, in administration and operations.
With enrollment shrinking and budgets tightening, institutions aren’t competing to build the next flashy technology; they’re fighting to keep pace. Before you press “AI-powered,” you need to reality check your readiness, data strategy, and what happens when “easy button” promises don’t pay off.

Fail to move on these frontiers, and institutions risk being left behind amid seismic shifts.
