I am boiling mad. Many college campuses are up for sale, and there has been publicity about the auction of Green Mountain College with a starting bid of $3 million. A steal. Then there was an article saying the idea of creating a new college is an impossibility for a myriad of reasons including getting faculty. https://lnkd.in/ezG-a5u . What about imagination and risk taking and new models and novel approaches? The elites aren't changing but there are lots of good minds out there who are willing to re-envision education. New approaches; new pedagogies; new faculty; new systems for student success; a beta site for new ideas. I am disappointed the author had no vision, no imagination, no creativity and is a naysayer. Find a benefactor and create an institution that doesn't complete with the elites but does provide a quality, affordable education to students who can benefit from what it offers. Business people can learn from this too. Imagination, creativity, boldness, risktaking: these are needed now as we reboot America. Same old same old is just that: same old. Try new. Indeed, the current situation begs for new. Thoughtful new. Quality new. Informed new. Bold new.
