Presidential Address: Risk Management and Insurance Education: Will We Miss the Boat?
本文是主席致辞，指出商科教育需求下降、大学财务困难，风险管理与保险学科面临挑战，呼吁会员积极参与协会事务以应对未来。
I thank all of you for your support and trust, and look forward to your continuing counsel and active involvement in the affairs of the Association-for your active involvement is crucial to our future. We and our association are entering turbulent waters, and the course that we set now and over the next five years will determine whether our discipline prospers or declines. Why do I make this assertion? First, as is well known, the national demand for undergraduate business education peaked in the late 1980s and has been declining since (Green, 1992). Additionally, applications for MBA programs have fallen at most schools. At the same time, questions of the value and quality of business education have arisen. Our discipline is not immune to these trends and questions. Second, financial problems abound for universities. Given declining business school enrollments, the timing could not be worse. Our discipline is feeling these effects.
