Dealing with a crisis in top leadership succession at a small private college

Background information: I am submitting this case as an embryo. I am not sure what direction to take it in, where the decision point should be which leaves a lot of unanswered questions in terms of what can be included. I do have access and permission from the protagonist to interview and use her notes from this time so there is a lot of access to information. Mostly I am interested in participants thoughts on the direction this should or could take. Possible courses could be: Executive education on succession Higher education leadership courses at the graduate level Non-profit leadership courses at any level
