On September 12, 2013, Hudson Institute’s Initiative on Future Innovation convened a distinguished panel of experts and practitioners from business, philanthropy, and the academic world for an off-the-record workshop on a working draft of Beyond Retrofitting: Innovation in Higher Education, by Andrew P. Kelly and Frederick M. Hess. Mssrs. Kelly and Hess, both resident scholars at the American Enterprise Institute, are among the nation's foremost authorities on K-12 and post-secondary education policy. Beyond Retrofitting — since published in final form as the first in a series of major research papers by Hudson’s Innovation Initiative, and available for download under the “Further Reading” header elsewhere on this page — is a path-breaking proposal for structural and technological re-engineering of American higher education.
