University of Urantia UU

Saturday's radio address was great and I suggest anyone check it out and get a good understanding about what he has done for the teaching of the UB.

Thinking over this project I have come to a general plan of execution here is and outline of the "battle plan"

First we must rally people behind the cause
A to gain support we must have a general idea what we want to do
B this plan must include an outline of a curriculum
C a big part of this curriculum is how to organize the Quote into a curriculum:

Quote:

51:6.4 The schools of the Planetary Prince are primarily concerned with philosophy, religion, morals, and the higher intellectual and artistic achievements. The garden schools of Adam and Eve are usually devoted to practical arts, fundamental intellectual training, social culture, economic development, trade relations, physical efficiency, and civil government. Eventually these world centers amalgamate, but this actual affiliation sometimes does not occur until the times of the first Magisterial Son.

D explain how we plan on integrating the underprivileged (i think this is our call sign because it will make us stick out from the competition early )
E costs and profits and how to distribute funds to student programs (i think it sould be a NON profit and only pay employees the rest is reinvested or given to public schools)

After the plan we can rally people> Why are people important? the most valuable thing in the world is people especially people that agree. So with a good base of support we can shop the plans around to different funding sources whether they be banks, potential, investors or philanthropists. The idea here must be to make the book look good and if we can agree on a great way to reach the underprivileged whether poor financially or academically we can attract broader support from the wealthy(ie Bill Gates:mrgreen:)

Second we fund using fundraisers, loans, endowments, bake sales etc.
A important source is grants from the USA gov
B also we should consider attempting to gain endowments of land and buildings
C also intelligent investments in commonly used methods such as the stock market
D volunteers we will rely on them too

Third we staff and open
A teachers should be paid well and have stake in the school and students proformance
B officers should be versed in the UB and have appropriate credentials
C opening and operating should be smooth :smile:

This is just an outline really I expect it to me "marked up" but it will give us an idea about how to do this thing and start us thinking down the right path. There is more that should be done like i think a course in the UB should be provide free to anyone including non students at school. but this is just a thought. David Nash's strategy could be integrated but he needs to agree and we should have a better plan before we try to recruit him, don't scare him off by pushing this idea too soon let him do what he has planed and support him Please.

Fortunately/unfortunately I must run my friend is having a baby. but please "mark" this plan up and we will work out details over the week.

God Bless
