Summary:

Raymond Patrick, an untenured faculty member at Bay State University (BSU), felt that his relationship with Frank Burns, the School of Management's Assistant Director, had reached the breaking point. Burns stoked open conflict in the department by making incendiary comments to his colleagues on a variety of issues. Patrick believed his record at BSU would lead to tenure and promotion, despite not holding a Ph.D. Yet, Patrick felt vulnerable due to the negative conflict and power imbalance Burns had concerning him and other untenured, non-Ph.D. faculty. Patrick's anxiety and stress grew, and he wondered what to do. Students are asked to use a three-pronged approach to make a recommendation regarding whether Patrick should manage the interests of the parties involved, deal with the power imbalance with Burns, or pursue a formal grievance process in order to help him stay at BSU and optimize his career success.
