that time. The 1990 paper listed four issues then facing the program: (1) the use of technology,particularly the videotaping of classes for later viewing creating a possible conflict betweenhigh-tech and high-touch, (2) the teaching of management fundamentals versus current ideas, (3)assuring that growth did not hurt quality, and (4) tensions between the program and theinstitution. Since then, a major concern has been reversing an enrollment decline and this issuehas dominated the other issues.II.
