This article says nothing concrete about the traditional college model or how administrators move beyond it. Is it written by chatGPT?

There are multiple references to the traditional model in the piece and in the book. Your account was created 6 days ago and lacks a pfp - are you a bot?

References are not explanations. What exactly is the traditional elite college model? What exactly are administrators doing different? What are the results in terms of enrollment, revenue, etc?

You can view a brief piece here on what you are inquiring about - https://joshuatravisbrown.substack.com/p/a-field-focused-on-elites

You can also see Chapter One in the book called "The Traditional Strategy" that spells all this out in detail with empirical examples and interviews with the 40 leaders from the schools that run the traditional model. The rest of the book explains how administrators move beyond it with three other strategies (Network, Pioneer, and Accelerated).
