Young, naïve lawyer,
For-profit business school dean,
A Quixotic quest.
Idealism,
Despite the odds,
May yet win the day.
Or will it be crushed?
Humor, angst, triumph, heartbreak,
All par for the course.
Love found and love lost,
Trial by fire tempers or breaks,
Steel in life's hot forge.
Which for our young dean?
Will he too tilt at windmills,
Thinking them cruel knights?
Or will he prevail,
Stay true to his quest until,
He succeeds or fails?
