Agenda & News for OPEN WUaS Monthly Business Meeting

1 

A draft of the state of California's Bureau of Private Postsecondary BPPE licensing application is done. Now World University and School, needs the $5000 fee, which WUaS doesn't have, so the state of California can process this.

World University and School's Library Resources - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources -  presentation in the Wikidata Affinity Group chaired by Stanford librarian Hilary Thorsen will not occur tomorrow June 18th, and may be rescheduled for July 2nd (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1zUtIX_G47fI3jH9FCIF3ScLzANX81qjeeUP9QnS59cI/edit?usp=sharing).

World University and School is seeking online university libraries for online matriculating students for Bachelor, Ph.D. Medical, Law, and I.B. high school degrees in each of all ~200 nation states’ official / main languages. 

Would collaborating with Harvard libraries be a possibility? And re:

Unfortunately, the $250,000 National Science Foundation award that WUaS thought World University and School was granted - since WUaS heard about this in January, and with this information went ahead and successfully procured a DUNS number from D&B (in NYC) as a next step in the funding process - has not come through, per a communication on April 30, 2019 from our Program Administrator at the NSF - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/05/rhododendron-arboreum-flower-of-nepal.html.

WUaS had budgeted part of these monies for the initial BPPE fee, and part of these monies for accreditation potentially with WASC senior, and some of these monies to hire graduate student instructors to teach 'sections' online in group video conferencing to the best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare (OCW) faculty in video.  

This has been a major setback in a number of ways, but especially with regards to initial BPPE licensing.

Re the planned Bookstore at World Univ & Sch (also planned in ~200 countries and 7,111 living languages), Larry Viehland reports that his new STEM book "Gaseous Ion Mobility, Diffusion, and Reaction" (2018) - https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030044930 - has sold about 1200 copies digitally, and about 3 copies on paper. This is a remarkable new opportunity for the WUaS beginning bookstore - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Bookstore_/_Computer_Store_(New_%26_Used)_at_WUaS - which also seeks to explore how best to carry Larry's "Gaseous Ion Mobility, Diffusion, and Reaction" book.
