Barry Munitz, President and Chief Executive Officer, J. Paul Getty Trust: Information technology will profoundly influence both the content and the delivery system for traditional colleges and universities. The challenge to translate the content—that mountain of data arriving so rapidly—into accurate and useful information and then into knowledge and wisdom will test everyone’s talent and energy. We will also have to rethink the delivery system—the way in which we teach and people learn—and reexamine the balance between classroom instruction and distance learning.
