As to the more in-action examples and ideas of such, God knows I'm six months out of the loop, but Portland alone has had a lot of independent/anti-establishment education movements in its history alone, and no shortage of community ideas that didn't get off the ground. I've had a bad day too, and don't feel like looking up resources for you, but I remember that ye old Student Activism Alliance was putting a lot of time and effort into researching such movements/programs/paradigms and promoting/backing these alternatives on a variety of levels before they broke up, lots of obscure points, arguments and insights into the development of these. Many of the former members have certainly garnered huge amounts of information that could help you and I'm sure one or two are going to PSU. (And that's only Portland in the last three years -I hear there's all sorts of stuff that happened back in the 80s.) ...Well, anyway, good luck. And be sure to post more on this. A colossal task.
