Technology Leadership across the Decades 1990s to Today A new style of leadership is necessary in a campus environment that is characterized by a growing number of students who expect to actively participate in the creation of knowledge in a distributed learning environment, by an even faster growing number of faculty who want to change their teaching methods both to accommodate their students’ new learning styles, and also to create active learning situations for their students, and by unprecedented growth in external competition. This new style of higher education leadership must accept responsibility for linking infrastructure to academic strategy within the unique value system, culture and world view of a given institution.
