Using Kotter’s eight stage process, describe how you would lead the process of lowering the tuition for education in this institution of higher learning.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

I would establish a sense of urgency by describing the necessity for change and
the limitations imposed for postgraduate growth by incurring significant debt for the cost
of the education. I would create a guiding coalition students, faculty, and parents to
develop a vision and strategy of an innovative and creative country. I would
communicate that vision of change through high school counselors, parental
associations, and local and national politicians. I would create mechanisms such as
work-study programs campaigns to enlist private charities and solicitation from
corporate America to empower students to take a broad-based action on lowering the
tuition. Lowering of a tuition for probationary period of a year or two would generate
short-term wins and demonstrate the efficacy of the vision thereby consolidating gauge
and producing continuing change through additional years. The anchoring of this new
approach in the American culture that holds dear the precept that education is the
foundation for social upward mobility, reduction of crime, and raising the overall level of
the standard of living would constitute a cultural change.
