A professor who chooses the unusual role of working in an urban school, when the university is nonurban, encounters a number of problems. These problems exist in terms of school district relationships, university institutional and colleague relationships, traditional professorial expecations, and student-professor relationships. The City-University programs require that traditional ideas about such programs be tested and reexamined. This presentation provides an insight into such a leadership training program from the viewpoint of a professor who worked both on campus and in the urban district. (Author)
