Today we explain our collaboration with other education settlements in the US and other nations.  We conform to participation requirements set by ANSI US Technical Advisory Groups to the International Organization for Standardization but we also have liaison with other universities in the European Union who conform to the participation requirements of their own national standards bodies.

    Innovation - Standardization - Commoditization run along a continuum.  Today we unpack some of the ideas that hasten (and prohibit) leading practice discovery; how quickly goods and services become a "human right"; why all of this is relevant to education communities and why some believe that commoditization is a myth.

    From the Wikipedia

    In business literature, commoditization is defined as the process by which goods that have economic value and are distinguishable in terms of attributes (uniqueness or brand) end up becoming simple commodities in the eyes of the market or consumers. It is the movement of a market from differentiated to undifferentiated price competition and from monopolistic competition to perfect competition. Hence, the key effect of commoditization is that the pricing power of the manufacturer or brand owner is weakened: when products become more similar from a buyer's point of view, they will tend to buy the cheapest.

    The zeitgeist surrounding data centers in higher education embodies a fervent fusion of technological ambition, sustainability imperatives, and workforce evolution, driven by AI's insatiable hunger for compute power.  Today at the usual hour we examine three projects on US campuses with special attention to the safety and sustainability boundaries set by electrotechnical strandards.

    With emphasis on OB-GYN because educational settlements are where families begin and grow among the young.

    Many research universities have large medical research and clinical delivery enterprises that provide significant revenue.   We periodically scan public consultations for literature that sets the standard of care for the facilities and technologies in these enterprises in education communities.

    The tradition of naming terms after religious feasts is rooted in medieval ecclesiastical calendars. The use of "Hilary" for this period originated in the English legal system during the Middle Ages, where the courts divided the year into four sittings: Hilary, Easter, Trinity, and Michaelmas. Universities like Oxford adopted similar naming conventions, reflecting their historical ties to the church and legal professions.
    §
    This naming has persisted as a tradition, even as modern calendars have standardized dates. At other UK universities (e.g., Cambridge), the equivalent January-starting term is called Lent term instead.
