The Abundant University 2023
The Abundant University: Remaking Higher Education for a Digital World is a 2023 book written by Michael D. Smith and published by MIT Press. The book examines the financial and ethical issues impacting today’s universities and supports using digital tools to solve these problems. Smith claims that present higher education, defined by limited access, teaching, and certification, cannot continue and increases social gaps. He suggests moving toward a more open, cost-effective, and successful system through digital learning and credentialing. Smith uses his past research on digital change in other fields to challenge traditional university exclusivity and promote technology-based, scalable education. The book received the Phillip E. Frandson Award for Literature in 2024 and the MIT Press Alumni Book Award in 2025.
