New Paradigm for Midd?

<p>That's what this article suggests, though it's short on details:</p>

<p>The</a> Middlebury Campus Blog Archive Liebowitz unveils paradigm shift for Middlebury in landmark speech</p>

<p>Maybe someone can elaborate.</p>

<p>Well… this helps some:</p>

<p>And then, here’s the text of the entire speech:</p>

<p>[02/12/2010:</a> Public Address on College Finances | Middlebury](<a href=“http://www.middlebury.edu/about/president/initiatives/finances/20100212_president_finances]02/12/2010:”>http://www.middlebury.edu/about/president/initiatives/finances/20100212_president_finances)</p>

<p>I suppose the paradigm is to, in a word, exploit some strengths of the institution and generate some money that can feed the small liberal arts school. Actually… not sure what that means in terms of expansion to breadloaf, summer programs or California, but I do get the whole rosetta stone ala’ Middlebury idea, especially for elementary and secondary education. But there were other things that I didn’t quite follow all the overly generalized language when I am sure he was referring to something quite specific. So, will have to wait until other far more wiser and insightful people than me start commenting. But I did like what he had to say about embracing some different ideas… not always easy or comfortable, but usually lands you just where you were meant to go.</p>
