welcome, Stephanie--
recently a few people on this list have tended to turn the question (that
you've posed) around and asked something like, "why should Michigan State
University learn?"
Realizing that the university is a metasystem containing multitudes of
interconnecting organizations...I would invite you to consider only those
that you're most involved with. Why should they learn? Are they learning
already? What does it mean to be an organization that learns (within the
context of MSU)? Is there any reason to believe that the University isn't
learning?
And, finally, (with tongue in cheek, of course) are the concepts
"education" and "learning" possibly mutually exclusive.
walk in peace!
