ABSTRACT
Woolf and the Need for a Global Jurisdiction
Joshua founded Woolf to create new possibilities within Higher Education, an industry that has seen decades of ballooning administrative costs and student debt. Some of the challenges we have faced – with our demands for regulation over geographically agnostic technology, banking, and degree certification – have only seen support in the more progressive and agile jurisdictions of small states. Woolf aims to provide a global profession with global opportunities, and small states can serve as an important platform because they have always had to think internationally.
