Abstract: This report is part of a broader research project called "Digital Faculty." "Digital Faculty" builds upon previous studies about faculty use of technology, faculty use of social media, and faculty views of the future of higher education. This specific report focuses solely on faculty expectations about the future of higher education. The findings reflect the responses of 1,131 faculty from across the United States. The sample is representative of the overall range of faculty in the United States. The findings report on faculty members' sense of optimism and pessimism, their expectations as to the degree to which COVID-19 will impact their institutions, their views of what other factors might impact their institutions, and what they speculate teaching and learning may potentially look like in the future. Finally, the report presents descriptive statistics and open-ended comments, and highlights areas for future work.
