• How does EduPolicy.ai translate complex AI regulations into actionable guidance for higher education & why must AI policy leadership come from the top to create institution wide buy in?
• How should institutions implement umbrella AI policies with department specific sub policies since admissions, financial aid, academics & registrar all use technology differently with unique data needs?
• How does AI policy become a living document that stays active in institutional ecosystems rather than collecting dust & what happens when only half of users enforce policy like a city where only half the police enforce laws?

• How does Pennsylvania's only rural regional college serve 10 counties without a single campus based facility & why is this model critical for eliminating education deserts across northern Pennsylvania?
• What happens when a public institution founded in 2017 operates independently from community college standards & how does this freedom enable innovation that traditional systems cannot replicate?
• Why are colleges, campuses, tech centers & business schools closing their doors in rural regions & what infrastructure costs are literally driving institutions out of business while education deserts expand?

•
