Sustainability in the Curriculum
The increasing integration of environmental, social and ethical issues into the business school curriculum is a trend that The Aspen Institute Center for Business Education seeks both to support and to document. This Closer Look examines curriculum change efforts at three different universities, and highlights some of the ways in which incorporating sustainability content into the business curriculum creates benefits for students, faculty, and institutions alike.

Aspen CBE Issues RFP for New Faculty Networks
Aspen CBE has released a Request for Proposals for new Faculty Networks. Submissions are due Friday, October 30, 2009. Click here to download a PDF of the RFP.
The goal of Aspen CBE is to leverage the tremendous power of business education to make the world a better place. While many Aspen CBE programs work at a distance - school rankings, online case libraries, or faculty awards, for example - some of our most important work comes from bringing small groups of people together, in person, to make transformative innovations in teaching and research.
We believe Faculty Networks can find new ways to integrate social and environmental issues into core teaching and research, act as a catalyst for communities and networks of faculty that will provide ongoing support after the formal program ends, and encourage research that is responsive to current felt needs among business practitioners. For more information on Faculty Networks, please contact .

Aspen CBE Issues Longer Account of Roundtable on Financial Regulation
On June 4, 2009, with support from Ernst & Young, Aspen CBE and New York University convened a group of twenty business and law faculty and business practitioners, some of whom are former government officials, to discuss the role of financial market regulations in helping to spur recovery from the economic crisis. We issued a short paper about the event in June, and have followed it now with a longer account of the event that goes into more detail about the topics discussed, including attendees' thoughts on the role of business education in responding to the crisis. Please click here to download a PDF copy of the paper (which includes a list of attendees).
