As the head of a new strategic planning committee, I am writing to people and asking for their help in identifying the pros and cons of changing the college from a liberal arts college to a professional and technical college.

They pay for housing, utilities, taxes, other services, and fees. In return, the city has given them job opportunities, local entertainment, family events, and great places of recreation. The city also helps to provide the college itself. I would appreciate it if you would tell us how you think Rogal fits into the city, what are the benefits and disadvantages of being one type of school or the other, how do you think this may have financial impact on the …show more content…

Can you please call us at your earliest convenience? Thank you. Letter #3 – Current Faculty Hello, I am reaching out to the faculty from the strategic planning committee to get input from you. Rogal needs a boost in national rankings to stay viable in higher education. There are many schools competing for today’s student and we want to provide them with the proper tools to be successful. We would like your opinion. The question is whether to stay a liberal arts college, become a professional/technical school, or a hybrid of the two. Since we recognize that changes in curriculum could have a dramatic effect on all of you, we want your input. What are the benefits and disadvantages to those choices? Please give your opinion about what you think is a better type of program and why. There are different reports that state that a liberal arts education is better because it teaches critical thinkers and those that say students must learn technology to be a viable job candidate and employee. The las choice is possibly figuring how to create programs that incorporate the best of both. I have attached a short survey. Could you please fill it out and submit it before 2/15/2017? Thank you. Provost Rogal

“The New Liberal Arts” Sanford Ungar - Collaborative Summary Sanford J. Ungar was the president of Goucher College, located in Baltimore, Maryland. He wrote this essay to debunk common misperceptions about liberal arts colleges and the education provided by them.
