1. Discuss similarities and differences using ERM in for-profit business organizations versus the nonprofit higher education environment. Use both the textbook and external sources, as most of the information in the textbook does not reflect the current environment.

2. In your own words, describe the culture at the University of Washington. Why is culture important when implementing ERM?

3. The University of Washington adopted a committee structure for its ERM program instead of designating a senior level risk officer. Why is this information important?

4. Locate another university with an ERM program other than the list provided in the book or other colleges discussed in the chapter. Identify and explain at least one difference with and similarity to the UW program.
