Working Paper No. 14
Case Study #1: Weservall University

Sandra Kanter

Abstract

 In the collegial environment of a mid-sized urban University, faculty and administrators struggle with devising appropriate strategies for developing a set of general  education requirements  that can meet the multiple needs of a campus with a history of decentralized decision making. While some colleges vie with each other for increased enrollments, other units see general  education as an opportunity to reinforce discipline specific goals; in addition, the perception of professional schools influences the ways in which the discussions and decision-making process are shaped. (Fall, 1991)
