DETROIT -- The ongoing efforts to turn around bankrupt Detroit will be the subject of a course starting this spring at Wayne State University.
The Detroit school announced this week that "Detroit: Metropolis in Transition" will run from May 7 to July 23, and is open to Wayne State students, guest students and non-degree-seeking professionals. It will meet Wednesday evenings at the school.
The course is structured as a guest-lecture series. The school says Detroit's state-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr is among the scheduled speakers. Orr took the city into bankruptcy last summer and is a key player in the ongoing restructuring.
In addition to weekly lectures, students will learn about Detroit's past and present, and go on field trips to destinations of interest throughout the city.
