It's a little gobsmacking how many, and how often post-secondaries stifle and ostracize research and development that is more than a safe and comfortable stretch from existing bodies of knowledge.

Is innovation required to be only in safe and comfortable baby steps.. Or whatever can be controlled or understood..?

There are more voices starting to speak that the clock is starting to tick on some academic brands for failing to exist in the future, and the digital transformation of society has already left them behind.. While some remain at maintaining a present that is anchored in the past.

I'm passionate about the value of an education to improve your life and hope this rapidly improves with the the other rapid changes occurring during the pandemic.

Still, devaluing someone, marginalizing their contributions, and then continuing to own their intellectual property for the long game doesn't seem entirely reassuring behavior for any post secondary.

If it wasn't valuable then, why not let the prof walk with IP ownership if it's so worthless?
