Possible stakeholders, contexts, and audiences to consider — we brainstormed this in class — if only to anticipate objections to your position, or to develop rhetorical appeals and advocacy positions:

- Parents
- Students — past, current, and future
- Faculty
- Industry and business
- Media
- Communities and civic organizations
- Cultural critics and activists
- DePaul University: VISION twenty12.
