Host Alex Green sits down with Rupal Shah, Chief Business Officer at HighPoint and 25-year higher ed tech veteran. From Accenture and Oracle to co-founding multiple EdTech startups, Rupal has seen it all—and he's got the pattern recognition to prove it.
They explore the real state of higher education today: system fatigue, budget constraints, enrollment cliffs, and the arrival of AI. Rupal frames this moment as a ”golden opportunity” for institutions to focus on modernization and what matters most. His key message to HEUG members: fight the hype, trust your instincts, and recognize the value already in your systems.
