A dispute at the Connecticut college over two deans’ behavior has administrators and professors at loggerheads regarding the limits of the faculty’s investigative authority. A professor’s complaint against two deans has grown into a conflict over shared governance and the faculty’s investigative powers at Trinity College in Connecticut. Last fall, the private college’s faculty ombud found that the dean of faculty, Sonia Cardenas, and an associate dean, Takunari Miyazaki, had tried to pressure a professor to retire after conducting a “climate assessment” of the professor’s department, according to documents provided to Inside Higher Ed on condition of anonymity.
Entrepreneur Danny Briere has been a consultant for about 200 startup companies (most in the telecommunications field) and has started about a dozen new businesses himself.
Now he’s bringing that experience to Hartford-based Trinity College, which has opened a new Center for Entrepreneurship.
A decade ago entrepreneurship programs weren’t mainstream at many college campuses but that’s changed in recent years as schools look to attract more students interested in starting their own businesses, and create stronger ties with the business community.
Several Hartford-area universities have accelerated their entrepreneurship offerings. The latest to join the effort is Trinity College, a well-known liberal arts school that has been expanding its career-oriented programs to include things like tech training.
