Working Paper No. 16
Case Study #3: Mystic College

Sandra Kanter

Abstract

 In an effort to develop a more effective niche in a highly competitive higher education market, a tradition bound mid-sized private college known for its professional  schools decides to overhaul its general education requirements. After formulating a bold curricular proposal, the institution is buffeted by the various demands and needs of campus politics and the inevitable  challenges to tradition that such innovations bring. The proposal is subject to the contrary interpretations of policy and institutional history by board, faculty, and administration.  (Fall, 1991)
