Leading Colleges and Universities
Lessons from Higher Education Leaders
Each contributor has been effective as a president or other significant leader in postsecondary education. In this book they share real-life examples and stories that illustrate how they have dealt with the challenges they encountered. Together they answer these and other core questions:
•How do you manage college athletics, faculty, a governing board, donors, and a local community?
•What do you need to know about crisis management and legal affairs?
•When should you be outspoken in the media and when should you be quiet?
The book does not shy away from hot contemporary issues, tackling such controversial matters as free speech, Title IX, athletics, fraternities, student and faculty diversity, and board relations. Presidents and would-be presidents—as well as boards, search committees, state boards, legislators, and others involved in higher education—will find much helpful guidance in this timely book.
About the Authors
Reviews
"Trachtenberg and Kauvar's previous book shared candid stories of how even well-trained, highly talented chief executives can fail. While that book did not focus on success, this one does. Bringing together a multitude of experienced, wise, and, once again, candid leaders, this new volume offers the solutions and paths forward to overcome the challenges within any presidency."—James Martin, Mount Ida College, coauthor of Consolidating Colleges and Merging Universities: New Strategies for Higher Education Leaders
"This book is a valuable resource for university leaders navigating this extraordinary moment in higher education. Guided by decades of personal experience, the book's editors have compiled practical reflections and thoughtful insights on a range of important topics, including shared governance and crisis management."—John J. DeGioia, President of Georgetown University
"Leading Colleges and Universities covers the waterfront of complexity in higher education. From building quality teams to dealing with the 24/7 news cycle, this collection of essays from leaders in the field uses their real-life experiences to inform and shape one's thinking. For anyone stepping into a leadership role in our nation's colleges and universities, it is a must-read."—Sylvia Burwell, President of American University
