A study of 21 flagship public universities and four entire state systems (in Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia), conducted by the authors, demonstrates that if this country is to regain its leadership in higher education, it must fix two interwoven problems: (1) the stagnant level of overall educational attainment, as measured by…

Novak, Richard – Trusteeship, 2012
Governance controversies have raised questions among policy makers and the public about how and why trustees are selected for public boards, to whom they are accountable, and whether current problems are just the tip of the iceberg.

Glazer-Raymo, Judith – Trusteeship, 2008
In these uncertain economic times, leadership is among the most frequently used (and misused) terms in public discourse. And the vast literature on this topic certainly encompasses considerable discussion of the policies and practices that can equalize leadership opportunities for women and people of color.

Fletcher, Donald H.; Maxwell, David E. – Trusteeship, 2011
In the face of public controversies, presidents and board chairs are often called upon to resolve difficult and divisive issues.

Wellman, Jane – Trusteeship, 2009
As Americans near the end of the first decade of the new millennium, higher education in the United States is caught in a classic "good news/bad news" dilemma. The good news? Broad recognition of the importance of higher education to the country's future, along with larger federal funding increases than at any time in their history. The bad news?…

Alcohol and substance disorders. Life-threatening eating disorders. Suicidal behaviors. Students' mental-health needs continue to garner considerable attention at colleges and universities--as well as among the public and in the press when a high-profile tragedy occurs.

Allen, Clyde; Bacow, Lawrence S.; Trombley, Laura Skandera – Trusteeship, 2011
Many institutions develop specific measures or indicators--often called "dashboards"--to inform boards and top administrators about the college or university's current situation and performance and assist them in moving the institution ahead strategically. And, increasingly, institutions are using metrics not only to assess internal…

To bring major initiatives to fruition, trustees, administrators, faculty members, and donors must all be effectively engaged. By broadening a project's impact, the concerns of board members and other constituencies may be addressed and resolved to the satisfaction of all. An institution must provide sufficient time and multiple opportunities for…

Kedem, Karen – Trusteeship, 2011
Moody's Investors Service provides credit ratings for hundreds of private and public colleges and universities--ratings that can strongly influence the interest rates higher-education institutions can obtain when they want to borrow money. How colleges are governed and managed are key determinants of those credit ratings, especially in an…

Five public higher-education officials, including a former lawmaker, discuss how "citizen boards" of public colleges and universities deal with the inherent conflicts and ambiguities between the interests and ambitions of their institution and the financial, strategic, and public-policy demands of their state.

A new study of endowments by the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) and the Commonfund Institute has brought good news to college and universities: While endowment returns dropped precipitously in fiscal year 2009 as a result of the financial crisis and accompanying slide in equity markets, they climbed to an…

Lewis, Edward T. – Trusteeship, 1994
Saint Mary's College of Maryland, previously a public college, has become a unique public-private hybrid in response to changes in state support commitments. Although this model could not be applied to most institutions, the experience suggests that college and universities must find new means of financing and relating to the state. (MSE)

Christ, Carol – Trusteeship, 2012
A Dartmouth University professor puts the tasks that all organizations must perform into three boxes: (1) a box containing those things an institution does to make its core business as excellent as possible; (2) a box of "selective forgetting" for eliminating activities no longer productive or useful; and (3) a box of innovation for selective…

Krutsch, Phyllis M. – Trusteeship, 1998
