“What about just phasing out faculty altogether? Students could have peer counselors or RAs advise them in their residential self-directed online and collaborative learning.”
This question, from Indiana, is leading our administration towards a series of very fruitful and interesting conversations!
Willard College 
Excellent point, the whole concept of “faculty” is not only elitist but so 20th century. Students should be able to leverage their own holistic senses of achievement synergistically with each other, upload the creative products into their online learning portfolio to show their ability to critically think about social media and other crucially important things. I mean, who needs history or english, that doesn’t even make sense any more!
Sad to say this is already happening here in the Business School and it is NOT GOOD!
Terrie, Willard College prides itself on “best practices” practices. We offer high value at a competitive price point.
