Dana Hall: Funding a Mission (E): Excerpts from a Letter from Head of School Caroline Erisman, May 2015 Harvard Case Solution & Analysis

Dana Hall is a private all-girls school in New England confronting a catastrophe in its assignment. As social norms shift away from single-sex education, the school's registration is draopping and deficits are becoming the norm.

This is just an excerpt. This case is about STRATEGY & EXECUTION
