The Role of Universities • • • • •
In the US there are about 4000 colleges with almost 16 million students Combined annual expenditures exceed US $ 275 billion, which is 2,8% of GDP, this is greater than the GDP of all but 25 nations In the near absence of long term US National policy, institutions of higher learning should lead the country by example Beginning collaboration between Texas A&M, Carnegie Mellon University, ISR, SNC, & UMD Sponsored by Congressmen Doyle, Hall, Barton, Mollohan, Hoyer, Gibbons and Senator Reid

This means…. • Moving away from a totally humancentric view of the world, • Understanding the synergism between nature and human nature, • Appreciating the interconnectedness of the whole, • Using principles of living systems to approach our work • Seeing ourselves as continual learners and avoiding hubris, • Encouraging dialogue and asking deeper questions, and • Recognizing the role of spirit and love in everything we do.
