Enrollment Stays High Danger Cited by Schools

Enrollment stays the largest danger cited by schools and universities for the fourth yr in a row, in response to the 2022 High Dangers Report from United Educators.

Knowledge safety ranked second for the third consecutive yr.

Recruitment and hiring jumped from 14th place to 3rd, and pupil psychological well being—damaged out within the survey for the primary time this yr—ranked fifth.

The dangers of sexual misconduct misplaced urgency; Title IX fell to tenth place, down from third place in 2019–20 and eighth place final yr. And sexual misconduct, which incorporates sexual harassment and abuse, dropped to the 18th spot.

Following a two-year absence from the highest 10, exterior pressures—which incorporates financial, political and societal influences—captured the sixth spot.

And, not surprisingly, COVID-19 and future pandemics, which ranked third final yr, fell to the twentieth spot.

The survey displays essentially the most urgent dangers named in September 2022 by the leaders of 105 schools and universities.
