2025 EDUCAUSE Top 10

Results from a panel made up mostly of chief information officers at U.S. higher education institutions. My first reaction was to the vagueness (and perhaps self-centeredness) of the list, with headings like 'smoothing the student journey', 'a matter of trust', and 'taming the digital jungle'. But even more pointedly is my criticism of the overall theme, which places 'competence' in opposition to 'caring', which is balanced on a 'fulcrum' of leadership. I don't think these two are in opposition at all, and there's something wrong with a perspective that sees focusing on one as a trade-off against the other.
