When Revising a Curriculum, Strategy May Trump Pedagogy.
Schneider, Alison
Chronicle of Higher Education, v45 n24 pA14-A16 Feb 19 1999
Two major universities illustrate very different experiences with curriculum reform. At Duke University (North Carolina), a new core curriculum was adopted smoothly. At Rice University (Texas), a new undergraduate curriculum that took long to develop was defeated easily by disgruntled faculty. Some feel public relations and institutional politics were at the heart of the different experiences. (MSE)
