Ask students to assume the role of the dean in identifying the possible decisions before the next faculty meeting. They should generate two or three alternatives in answer to each of the first two questions. You can use the third question as the basis for class discussion.

1. What are the possible purposes of the University Museum?

2. Who are or should be its customers?

3. What implications for the structure of the museum, the qualifications of its director, and its relationship to the university follow from the above defined purposes and customers?
