Open Source Administration
summary
At Rhode Island School of Design administration is prototyped as software and social practice: an open blog with anonymous day that lets faculty, staff and students post 24/7, produces rumors that are corrected publicly, and shifts the president into a moderator role while creating confusion about who decides. A campus-wide social media canvas screens across campus accepts mobile and web posts, is used heavily by students, less by faculty, adopted virally as a screensaver, and proves that creative leadership trades authoritative clarity for shared, messy reality.
