Institutions of higher education were not immune to the realities of these events and the enormity of their impact. Many of these institutions were thrust into some level of crisis that created multiple challenges with scenarios where quick decisions were necessary, while information was often limited. Institutions learned to pivot quickly, and many made substantial changes that affected students, parents, faculty, and staff. Learn more about which attitudes, adaptations, and\/or changes adopted or employed by educational institutions are likely to, or should, remain for some time to come in our Higher Education whitepaper.<\/p><p><br \/><br \/><br \/><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/buffkinbaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Whitepaper_Higher-Education_April-2021_FINAL.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\" data-toolbar=\"bottom\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"off\">Whitepaper_Higher Education_April 2021_FINAL<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-589a065 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"589a065\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2277e51 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2277e51\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">About Buffkin \/ Baker<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1428dff elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1428dff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Buffkin \/ Baker is a retained, national boutique search and consulting firm composed of industry leaders.
