With the demand by Case Professor Krauss for a no-confidence vote against the Case president and provost, the levee broke flooding Case with the community sewage brimming its highest offices since hurricane Lewis smacked NEO several years ago, demanding the complete reorganization of Case. The rains since from Lewis' further public contempt for Case overflowed all the protection the president and board could retain, and now the Case community is in ruins.
Of course, this story also describes what happened to Tulane University as a result of Hurrican Katrina, but the response of the two schools to their respective disasters has been very different, and today Tulane is on track and there is great uncertainty about all aspects of Case's future.
I'm a Tulane alumnus so I understand their situation well - and I live in NEO and work with Case so I know them too. I have come to the conclusion Case and Tulane should form a strategic alliance or merge. We need something this innovative to fully leverage each University's potentials, which I want to see happen.
