Building a Faculty Culture of Change
● An increasingly fed-eralized market for undergraduate education, has made the competition for new students the sine qua non of financial success.
● A moribund accreditation system punishes those who try to do things differently.
● A troublesome fractiousness holds sway on many campuses, with a take-no-prisoners rhetoric.
● And a faculty, encamped just north of Armageddon, knows that change lies just over the horizon but is not yet convinced that change is either necessary or desirable. (Zemsky)
