Lost and Found: Master’s Program
Filed Under Poegles
Some Master’s programs are so slight, that if you are not watching them carefully, they can be stolen right out from under you. A cautionary tale:
“New England College is suing the former director of its poetry master’s degree program, alleging that she lured faculty and students away from the school in order to re-create the program in New Jersey.
“Six faculty from New England College’s small master’s program have left Henniker for Drew University, where poet Anne Marie Macari now works. According to the lawsuit, enrollment also has fallen from 10 to five students this year.
“New England College started its ‘low-residency’ master’s in poetry program in 2001, allowing students to do much of their coursework at home and come to campus for short periods each year…
“‘We believe that (our master’s) program has a national distinction,’ said [college spokeswoman] Kathleen Williams.”
