The cliff is a metaphor for the impending decline in traditional college-age students, a situation described by demographer Nathan Grawe, which calls for immediate adaptation by colleges.
Grawe warns that the demographic shift known as the 'birth dearth' signals a significant reduction in the number of traditional students entering higher education, necessitating strategic changes.
The pandemic further exacerbated challenges for higher education, indicating that colleges need to adapt to this evolving landscape or face dire consequences.
The collective metaphor of the Cliff, the Pandemic, and the Hurricane illustrates the multifaceted challenges that American higher education is currently grappling with.
