A Growth Mindset Gone Awry: The Story of a Tumor in the Ivory Tower (let's hope it's benign)
Pros
Many of the faculty and staff are as good as it gets. Most professors truly care for their students and their success.
Cons
VERY TOP HEAVY MANAGEMENT. Lack of culture. Like with much of the Charlotte area, what culture was there is quickly being wiped out for the next wave of replacements. Actively trying new things and calling it culture is an oxymoron. Identity as a whole is in flux here, despite the efforts to concoct a persona from the marketing department. The school, like the surrounding area, is in the midst of a grow first, deal with the consequences later spree. They are more focused on being bigger instead of focusing on what needs to actually be done to improve things. Many of the good employees are getting frustrated and leaving or being asked to leave.
