Assume that your small team comprises the officers in student government on your campus. You receive this email from the Dean of Students:

Your team will be writing a report recommending what (if anything)
your campus should do for student entrepreneurs and supporting your recommendation. Your report will be best received and considered if it addresses the same concerns that the university has, so make sure your recommendation takes multiple perspectives into consideration.
■ Does your campus offer other support for entrepreneurs (courses, a business plan competition, a startup incubator)?

■ Is it realistic to ask alumni for money to fund student startups?
■ Are campus dorms, email, phone, and delivery services funded by tax dollars? If your school is a public institution, do state or local laws limit business use?

■ Help your team write the report.
■ If instructed, compose a response to your instructor telling how satisfied you are with • The decision your team reached.
• The process you used to reach it.
• The document your team produced.
