Academic Governance and Academic Reform: Legitimacy and Energy.
Peter, Kenneth B.; Bain, Linda L.
Metropolitan Universities: An International Forum, v9 n3 p75-82 Win 1998
A thorough review and revision of curriculum at San Jose State University (California) illustrates that the modern university can achieve major internal academic reforms when two important conditions are met: legitimacy and energy. These two concepts are defined and practical illustrations are drawn from the institution's recent experience in trimming its curriculum from 280 to 190 degree programs. (Author/MSE)
