In Episode 5, "University of Tulsa (Part 1)," Kyle A. Thomas and Alana Yurczyk discuss the recently implemented changes at the University of Tulsa under the banner of their "True Commitment" restructuring--a plan that will significantly effect the theatre program, students, and faculty. But this is more than just a story about a university's attempt to prepare for the future of higher education in the United States. Kyle and Alana lay the ground work of their research into TU's plan and explain why this theatre program at this university is at the center of the tectonic shifts happening between the arts and higher education in America.
