It’s May and everyone is busy. I get it. So just a few articles for your perusal. There’s been a lot of interesting stuff coming out about higher ed that’s relevant to schools regarding AI (of course!) but also about pedagogy and purpose. I’ll do another links post in June.

Below is an optimistic take on AI. Because I think a little optimism is nice once in a while, even though I’ve also read pushback on Ezra Klein’s take linked below.

And then after the paywall, three links to articles about mission and purpose related to higher ed but highly relevant to independent schools. Are mission and purpose the same? And how expansive or narrow should mission and purpose be? How much does a mission matter? And is there a right answer for all institutions?
