Artificial intelligence plays a key role in digital transformation, allowing institutions to scale their efforts and streamline their work. In this podcast, David Bass, AGB’s executive director of philanthropic governance, and Fundmetric CEO Mark Hobbs discuss the use of AI in fundraising in higher education. Effective use of AI and an improved data infrastructure can help you prioritize and personalize outreach, adapt to changing donor demographics, and identify untapped donor potential.

With the 2024 U.S. presidential election on the horizon, how do the Democratic and Republican Party platforms address higher education policy? The election outcome will affect students and institutions, and board members should prepare so they aren’t caught off guard. AGB’s Morgan Alexander and Penn Hill’s Alex Nock discuss the potential impacts of the election, highlighting the GOP's call for eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and the emphasis both parties place on Title IX and alternatives to four-year degrees.

The U.S. Department of Education released the final rule on Title IX on April 29, 2024. These new regulations emphasize broader reporting standards and more mandatory reporters, which could lead to an increase in Title IX reporting. In this podcast, Sally Mason, president emerita of the University of Iowa and AGB Senior Consultant and Senior Fellow, and Peter Lake professor of law and director of the Center for Excellence in Higher Education Law and Policy at Stetson University and AGB Consultant discuss the implications of the final rule and what boards need to know.
