TEACH PEACE —
UNIVERSITY PARTICIPATION STRUCTURE
A plan of action for the team reviewing this proposal
Teach Peace is a finished, ready-to-teach framework, not a proposal awaiting development. What is being asked of a university is not to build something, but to decide how it wants to participate in something that already works. There are three ways to participate, each with a different level of commitment, and a university can move between them over time as the relationship develops.
The Three Levels of Participation
1. Hub University
One institution serves as the primary home. This is where the founder, Dr. John WorldPeace JD, relocates to work in person, full time, teaching directly across departments and working with faculty to develop formal coursework at the university's own pace. The hub university leads the framework's academic development — curriculum design, credit structure, degree pathway — in partnership with the founder, not under his direction. Governance, faculty hiring, and academic standards remain entirely institutional decisions.
What the hub university provides: a physical and academic home, faculty engagement, and the coordination point other universities look to.
What the founder provides: full-time, in-person presence; direct classroom teaching across any willing department; no salary, tenure, health insurance, or pension requirement; and a completed body of curriculum material ready to use immediately.
2. Co-Sponsor / Partner Universities
A university formally affiliated with the framework without serving as the physical home. A co-sponsor may adopt Teach Peace as an elective, a guest-lecture series, or a research collaboration, and is listed publicly as an active academic partner. Co-sponsors may participate in the framework's development through periodic Zoom sessions with the founder and with the hub university's faculty, and their own classroom results become part of the framework's growing, documented record.
What a co-sponsor provides: a genuine, adopted presence of Teach Peace on their own campus, at whatever scale they choose.
What a co-sponsor receives: recognition as an early academic partner, direct access to the founder for guest sessions, and a voice in how the framework develops going forward.
3. Support Universities
A university that wishes to track the framework's progress and lend it credibility or limited financial support, without committing to classroom adoption at this stage. Support universities receive the same daily public updates as active partners, and are free to move into a co-sponsor or hub relationship at any point as their own interest develops.
This tier exists because interest and readiness are not the same thing. A university uncertain today may be a strong partner in a year. Nothing about supporting the framework at this level requires any faculty time or curriculum commitment now.
The Founder’s Relocation and Teaching Plan
Once a hub university is confirmed, the founder relocates to that city and begins teaching immediately — not after a formal course is designed, but in parallel with it. Guest sessions across willing departments, thirty minutes of presentation and fifteen of open discussion, as many as can reasonably be scheduled in a given day. Faculty observing these sessions report back what resonates, and that feedback directly informs whatever formal coursework the university chooses to build.
As other universities express interest, the founder holds regular Zoom sessions open to any interested faculty or student group — the same core presentation delivered remotely, at a standing schedule, so a new university can engage without waiting for an in-person visit. This is how the framework scales past what any single person could deliver by travel alone.
Daily Public Updates
Starting at launch, a dated, public update is posted to the site — what happened that day: which universities responded, which classes were taught, what new material was added, what the current state of outreach is. This is not a marketing device. It is an honest, running record, visible to anyone considering participation, so that any university evaluating Teach Peace at any point can see exactly how much momentum already exists and how quickly it is moving. Anyone who waits to engage does so knowing the record will already show what happened while they waited.
