A variety of sources have begun to raise questions about the sustainability, both short run and long run, of higher education as in many parts of the world it moves steadily from its current stage of massification toward universalization. The most immediate and pressing issues are financial, as many higher education systems continue to experience rising costs that are increasingly passed on to students in the form of tuition increases which over time are themselves unsustainable. Within this framing some commentators have argued that higher education is in need of new perspectives that allow novel views to be brought into play to address these issues. This paper addresses two. One is the recent effort of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges in California to employ a modified crowd-sourcing technique to explore the changing ecology of higher education. The other is a recent book by Richard DeMillo who posits both the need for and the likelihood of a revolution in higher education predicated on the necessary widespread employment of technology in various ways to resolve what he views as the implacable problem of the rising costs of higher education.
