You are on the “Programming & Curriculum Development” task force of a small, private college, Rogal College, which is trying to improve its national standing as an undergraduate institution. Your task is to take a stand on whether the institution should increase curricular focus, funding, and new hiring for professional and technical fields or maintain a more purely academic, liberal arts education with a focus on the humanities.
As you examine this issue, consider the following perspectives: What role does a college or university play in society? How will the college’s decision to alter or maintain its curricular focus affect students and alumni? How will the college’s decision affect funding and academic status for the institution? What is the best preparation Rogal can offer to help its students succeed after graduation? How will the task force’s decision affect pedagogy in the classroom? Finally, take into consideration various stakeholders: current and future students, alumni, current teaching staff, the administration, and business leaders.
