DESCRIPTION
This was given 2012-Oct-30 in Andorra at the SIEE 12 conference. This was s little over-the-top even for me. At least it is thought-provoking. I think that I need to make it more tangible and real.

Seeing little or no value coming back from higher education
research or teaching funding, and a worsening first-world economy,
governments are making unprecedented cuts in HE funding.

Guiding Principles
• Market yourself! Be confident.
• Give your ideas freedom - the are less valuable than you think
• Real-world impact must become the goal of research
• Tenure is about being well-known,widely respected and highly valued
• Work on things that you are passionate about - change the world
WARNING WARNINGThe world changes slowly. These ideas are just examples to make you think. I am arrogant, cynical and fearless. Please do not apply these approaches to your career
without consulting a professional.
Create an Identity and Don't Be Shy
Truly share your good ideas. You are not likely to get rich - so at least make it so you can claim to
be first.
Consider your blog a real publishing
outlet.

Perhaps my approaches seem crazy...
Later that day, I receive a text message from an unknown 202 area code number:

We Need New Structures...
• We need flexibility
• Tenure must become more fluid
• Innovative / entrepreneurial faculty must be supported
• Education must lead to student value
• Sometimes structures are too fossilized and we must build anew
Change the world through teaching...
