World Univ & Sch is continuing to proceed with Middle States Commission on Higher Education accreditation, and needs financial resources and financial plan especially per item 6 here, from February 24, 2023 - 

AND on May 4, 2023 - 

As described in the Alumni Board Guidebook:

At-large member (3-year term):  There are five new at-large members of the alumni board selected by nominating committee annually. Principal duties of at-large members include attending (in person or by phone) five board meetings annually and participating meaningfully on a standing committee or task force. Although not a requirement, many new at-large members have at least some previous volunteer experience with Reed.

Secretary (4-year term): Executive Committee (EC) members are the board officers, and normally serve on the EC for four years beginning as secretary and advancing through positions of increased responsibility. One or more of these years may be concurrent with a portion of the at-large term. Typically, current or past members of the alumni board are invited by the EC to consider nomination as secretary during the call for nominations period in the spring; however, self-nominations and nominations by others are also encouraged. In consecutive years, the secretary moves into the positions of vice president, president and immediate past president, and the individuals in these positions progress accordingly.

Alumni Trustee (4-year term): There are four members of the Reed Board of Trustees that are nominated by the alumni board as Alumni Trustees (one new member each year). Alumni trustees report to the alumni board on the affairs of the college and report back to the trustees on initiatives and concerns of the alumni board. Alumni trustees can be selected from the alumni association as a whole, but are generally alumni who have provided volunteer support to the College, including the alumni board. It is important that the alumni trustee be an effective communicator and collaborator, who is willing to assume trusteeship including financial support (any amount of financial support is sufficient for trusteeship) and other duties of a Reed Trustee, and also understands and is able to represent the Alumni Association. Please see the Constitution of the Reed College Alumni Association Article V for more information about alumni trustees.

Nominating Committee Member (1-year term): The Nominating Committee (NC) selects the slate of new at-large board members, secretary, and alumni trustee to be presented to the Alumni Association for the following year. Committee members are the immediate past president of the alumni board (chair), the current president, and three non-members of the Alumni Board. Please see the Constitution of the Reed College Alumni Association Article VII in the appendix for more information.

Thank you for your submission and taking the time to tell us more about the nominee!  

Submissions will be reviewed by the nominating committee and the candidates that best fill the current needs of the board will be asked to serve.   Your endorsement is encouraged and an important part in the evaluation process.  

The nominating committee strives for demographic balance on the Alumni Board, including class year, gender, ethnicity, major, geographic location, etc.

Hi Charles, 

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2023/05/oregon-grape-or-oregon-grape.html 

Dear Allison Ryder, Steve Mills, Professor Larry Lessig, (Giesela Ruehl, Lydia Pintscher, Roland Vogl, Stanford Law CodeX), 

Thanks for your email, Allison, and as the MIT Sloan School of Management director of the Big Ideas' project. I'll seek to see your presentations again when they are posted - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL48E61C121CAD0E1B. Regarding my question about Google artificial intelligence and your 'Responsible AI' (RAI) methodologies, and your "MIT SMR is creating its own guidelines for the use of generative AI, though my gut-reaction answer to your question about using it in our work is that our content is often sensitive and as we own the copyright, releasing it for use by LLMs ... ," I find Google's TensorFlow Responsible AI 4 principles (below too in the PPS) - fairness, interpretability, privacy and security (https://www.tensorflow.org/responsible_ai) - germane, for example, to MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch's growth of #WUaSArtificialIntelligence in 200 countries and in their main languages, and eventually in all 7151 known living languages, and e.g. as emerging AI & ML Large Language Models.   

Professor Lessig, Allison Ryder, all, how do you think Creative Commons' licensing and law will inform the developing fields of responsible AI, and ethical AI, and related policy and regulatory frameworks, not only in the USA, but also in the European Union, and in all 200 countries, and as founder of Creative Commons' licensing / law? CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare licensing, in 5 languages presently -

Virtually try on clothes with a new AI shopping feature
Jun 14, 2023

See clothes on a wide range of models and use new types of filters to better refine your options.

Could this also become a virtual take off of all your clothing to communally soak in the virtual Harbin Hot Springs' geothermal pools? :)

... with generative AI ?

More high-school graduates are being diverted from college by brighter job prospects in blue-collar roles https://wsj.com/articles/more-high-school-grads-forgo-college-in-hot-labor-market-c052c773?st=ywaenhsptrma1g4 via

Job growth at restaurants, theme parks and other parts of the leisure and hospitality sector—which tend to employ young people and typically don’t require a college degree

Restaurant waitstaff earned a median hourly wage of $14 in 2022, nearly double the federal minimum wage. Wages are even higher in industries that don’t require college degrees but need additional training, such as apprenticeships. Machinists earned $23.32 an hour, above the national median wage of $22.26 an hour. Carpenters earned $24.71 an hour last year. 

One of them is Simon Alvarado Jr., 21 years old, of Hyattsville, Md. He recently finished an apprenticeship to become a light maintenance service technician at a Toyota dealership. He originally planned to attend college but was put off by the high cost of a four-year degree. 

“Working on cars is something I was really interested in as a kid,” said Alvarado. Having the cost of his training paid for and a job at the end “was a rare opportunity that I wasn’t going to say no to,” he said.
