University endowments are comprised of money or other financial assets that are donated to academic institutions. Charitable donations are the primary source of funds for endowments. Endowment funds support the teaching, research, and public service missions of colleges and universities.Ā In the case of endowment funds for academic institutions, the income generated is intended to finance a portion of the operating or capital requirements of the institution.Ā Today we will pick through few reports where safety and sustainability claims are listed and described.

Innovation - Standardization - Commoditization run along a continuum.Ā 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,Ā commoditizationĀ is defined as the process by whichĀ goodsĀ that haveĀ economic valueĀ and are distinguishable in terms of attributes (uniquenessĀ orĀ brand) end up becoming simpleĀ commoditiesĀ in the eyes of the market orĀ consumers. It is the movement of a market from differentiated to undifferentiated price competition and fromĀ monopolistic competitionĀ toĀ perfect competition. Hence, the key effect of commoditization is that theĀ pricing powerĀ 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 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.Alone is where the magic happensā¦apparently although I got so bored.
