Description

The Kansas Board of Regents is seeking a qualified consultant to conduct an independent, objective, evidence-based assessment of Kansas public higher education and develop an implementation roadmap. The work will examine demographic, economic, workforce, technological, enrollment, academic-program, institutional-capacity, collaboration, operational, regulatory, financial, governance, accountability, and external-funding issues affecting the system over the next 10, 20, and 25 years. Required work includes statewide and peer-system analysis, stakeholder engagement, financial scenario modeling, evaluation of collaboration and incentive structures, assessment of operational and regulatory barriers, governance and accountability benchmarking, and prioritized recommendations organized across near-, medium-, and long-term horizons. Deliverables include a project charter and work plan; trend, capacity, academic portfolio, workforce, collaboration, operational, financial, governance, and stakeholder analyses; draft and final recommendations; an implementation roadmap; communications materials; and editable source files. The proposal must address methodology, staffing, relevant experience, references, data protection, technology and artificial-intelligence use, conflicts of interest, schedule, and cost.
