New College in Sausalito Lets Students Decide Everything
A year-old liberal arts college in Sausalito headed by Jesuit priest Dr. John Leary operates with student control over budgets and hiring. The campus lacks traditional facilities and classes occur wherever students learn, from Navajo rug weaving projects to reading programs, with faculty from nearby colleges and community members guiding a self-directed curriculum.
