Stakeholders in Higher Education

Stakeholders in higher education refer to individuals or groups who have an interest in or are affected by a college or university's activities. This includes students, faculty, and staff who directly engage with the institution. Additionally, parents, alumni, employers, community members, and government agencies also play roles as stakeholders. They contribute to and influence policies, funding, and the overall direction of the institution. Understanding these stakeholders is essential as their needs and expectations shape educational programs, job readiness, research priorities, and community engagement efforts, ultimately impacting the institution's success and reputation.
