Your consulting efforts have gone well thus far. You have been asked however to prepare a PowerPoint presentation for an upcoming university leadership meeting. The university president will preside over the meeting and all the major school leaders will be in attendance. Because the alumni association and a number of other important university contributors have weighed in heavily in terms of urging the university to continue to try to innovate, change, and grow out of fears that the university will no longer be relevant. You are anticipating a significant collision between the expectations of a rather traditional faculty and the desired change on behalf of the university leadership and alumni. To that end, this PowerPoint presentation is designed to talk about this potential chasm and specifically the steps that can be taken to avoid the altogether crippling effect of scholarly disengagement. Your presentation should include the following:
• Component 1: Introduction: An overview of the potential for scholarly disengagement and an articulation of how it can emerge in the face of the desire for this type of change (3- slides)
• Component 2: Describe from a faculty standpoint why disengagement can happen and the impact it has on an institution of higher education (2-slides)
• Component 3: In this section articulate the steps the university can take to avoid scholarly disengagement (6- slides)
• Component 4: Conclusion: In this conclusion you’ll offer a synthesis of these main points (2-slides)
