Thanks, Kyle. Hope everything is going well for you in Seattle. Miss having you around. That’s the joy and sometimes melancholy thing about academic life: students bloom and move on. Best, ~WCH

I would agree that a critical examination of this crisis should be an essential topic for business schools in America and around the world. This issue and those related will significantly impact the future of business in our increasingly global economy. I appreciate your five step approach to addressing this topic. Far too often I hear people speak of blame without fully understanding the crisis and its origins. In conducting a detailed analysis and engaging in constructive critique, we can begin to move forward in understanding the past in order to make more informed decisions in the future. As students of business and the economy, we must recognize our place in orchestrating the future. There is a lot to be learned from the past. Some good… Some bad… Study of and reflection on the past is not always easy; at times it can even challenge us to question our beliefs. However, it is how we use this information that will either help us or hinder us in our future growth. I encourage you, as I am sure you will, to address this crisis and related issues leaving political bias at the door, while urging your students to do the same. With the general election right around the corner, these issues have become extremely politically charged. It is often hard to separate our own biases from the facts, but it should be done… It must be done. Many of these issues result from a bi-partisan failure and will require a bi-partisan solution. Critical thought and discussion as you have proposed certainly seem to be a great starting place in addressing these issues and working toward a brighter future. I only wish that I was still around to take your class.
