WALKING OUR TALK?

Abstract

In the very first issue of this journal, Seattle University professor William L. Weis gently inquired about the extent to which we were actually walking our talking about sustainability in his own and other Jesuit business schools (Weis, 2013). Or perhaps you might say that he “called us out” on the extent to which we were not doing so. The nature of his inquiry and the questions he asks are universal, applicable to all business schools and universities around the world, yet the challenges to action he presents are especially appropriate for Jesuit business schools (and universities) because of their faith-based values and explicit mission statements.
