Description
Summary:In the event of an organizational conflict, the bishop had the last word. Father Bailey who used to be merely a figurehead in the school began to assume the duties he had delegated to the Dean of Student Affairs, Sister Isabel. He also believed that school administration should now be turned over to capable laymen. The sister refused to give up the authority that had been given to the sister administrators since they were employed in SJC, twenty years ago. With the stability of the school organization imperiled, members of the academic community took side in the conflict. Parents believed that the Sisters had been doing a good job, and they should continue. On the other hand, the bishop had supporters from influential people. In solution to the problems posed in this case, alternative actions were recommended by the writer on the latter part of the paper.
