Liz Coleman Biography

If you followed higher education news in the 1990s you have an opinion on Liz Coleman. The president of what was once the most expensive college in America Coleman made a radical controversial plan to snap the college out of a budget and mission slump -- by ending the tenure system abolishing academic divisions and yes firing a lot of professors. It was not a period without drama. But fifteen years on it appears that the move has paid off. Bennington's emphasis on cross-disciplinary hands-on learning has attracted capacity classes to the small college and has built a vibrant environment for a new kind of learning. Coleman's idea is that higher education is an active pursuit -- a performing art . Her vision calls for lots of one-on-one interactions between professor and student deep engagement with primary sources highly individual majors and the destruction of the traditional academic department. It's a lofty goal that takes plenty of hard work to keep on course. There's a reason Liz Coleman likens science to a 'performing art' at Bennington. We need a context for what goes on in the classroom; otherwise there's no understanding of history of how scientific fact emerges in the first place.
