Reducing the Lame-Duck Syndrome

By: Milton Greenberg

From Volume 26 Number 2 | Winter 1997–1998

Abstract: Calls for a reexamination of the way in which higher education institutions select their leaders. The prevalence of the "lame-duck" syndrome, exacerbated by resignations up to a year in advance and the appointment of interim leaders to serve while searches for permanent leaders take place, has repercussions throughout the institution in terms of willingness to take risk and to implement substantive change. Proposes some possible alternatives to the current system of recruitment and replacement as a means of facilitating strong leadership on campus.

Identifying Quality in American Colleges and Universities

By: Edward Fiske,Bruce Hammond

How can planners help increase the quality of their institutions? And what are the main ingredients of a high-quality undergraduate education?

From Volume 26 Number 1 | Fall 1997

Abstract: Asserts that institutional rankings based on quantitative measures are largely meaningless; comparative, qualititative measures are the only useful measure of an institution’s strengths and weaknesses relative to its peer institutions. Advocates providing more honest and thorough information to students struggling to determine which institution is the best "fit," and suggests three foci for campus planners and policymakers: student body composition; interaction between students, faculty, and administrators; and the physical plant.

Who Will Lead Higher Education’s Transformation?

By: James L. Fisher

From Volume 26 Number 1 | Fall 1997

Abstract: Colleges and universities must respond and respond swiftly to the array of pressures and concerns, both internal and external, with which they are now faced. But who will carry out the necessary reforms? Contends that the greatest barrier to such reform is shared governance, and that campuses must return to "first principles" of higher education leadership, which recognize the president as chief transformational leader and the faculty as consultants, not equal players, in the management of an institution.

Facilities That Help Pay for Themselves

By: James T. Kienle

Are large, underused buildings a luxury that colleges can no longer afford?

From Volume 26 Number 1 | Fall 1997

Abstract: Reflects on the growing trend to link construction and renovation with income-producing schemes: conferences, institutes, receptions, lectures, and other special events organized by outside groups in need of appropriate facilities. Focuses in particular on retail and hotel accommodations and fitness facilities as primary vehicles for generating revenues.
