California Colleges Must Add What AI Cannot Provide: Universal Leadership Education - Marty Treinen, Palm Springs Tribune

In the age of artificial intelligence, what must higher education become? And just as important: who should higher education be for? The answer can no longer be limited to traditional students, full-time degree seekers, or those who can afford the rising cost of opportunity. If California is going to lead the future, its colleges and universities must help open the door to everyone willing to develop themselves, improve their lives, and serve their communities. That includes high school students preparing for adulthood, college students seeking direction, working adults changing careers, entrepreneurs building something real, retirees and seniors with experience to contribute, the unemployed and underemployed, people with disabilities, veterans, immigrants, minorities, underserved communities, and every person who has never been offered a real pathway to leadership. That is the promise of Universal Leadership Education.
