    I don't know anything more about this than the announcment, but this notice is intriguing.

    -------------------------
    AACSB International
    Sustainability Conference
    July 30 –31, 2008 · Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

    AACSB Resources
    Ethics Ecuation Resource Center
    Peace Through Commerce

    The Ethics and Governance Conference has expanded to address the critical role business schools play in producing leaders who advance responsible and sustainable business worldwide.

    The new Sustainability Conference will combine ethics, governance, peace through commerce, and responsible global leadership into one event. Learn how your business school can provide real-world learning opportunities to create globally responsible business leaders who make the world a better place.

    Who Should Attend
    Deans, assoicate deans, faculty, department chairs, and corporate executives.

    -----------------------------

    It's a bit perplexing (disturbing?) that the environment is never mentioned in this. Nevertheless, it seems encouraging that AACSB is beginning to talk about an expanded notion of sustainability for business schools. We should probably encourage our deans to attend or send someone to this.
