This is a timely and important debate for our Faculty, going to the heart of the question: are we equipping our graduates for the realities of the 2030s, or falling behind the pace of change? I would strongly encourage Faculty Board members to attend, given the direct relevance of this motion to our curriculum design, teaching model, and strategic planning discussions.
