The Porter Douglass Case: Examining the Impact of Power, Politics, and the Press on Academic Decision-Making
Jaeger, Audrey J.; Grantham, Ashley; Lynch, Terry
Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, v17 n3 p21-32 Sep 2014
Mixing political appointments and university operations can prove challenging and, in this case, caused the resignation of three senior officials at State University. Bolman and Deal's four frames provide a structure for analyzing this complex case. The political frame and issues of power and coalitions offer a particularly useful lens to understand a volatile university situation.
