Recovering from Sputnik

By: Robert J. Schaeffner

What should colleges do with their outmoded science buildings?

From Volume 26 Number 2 | Winter 1997–1998

Abstract: Many institutions are coping with outmoded science buildings constructed in the post-Sputnik era. The mechanical systems in many of these structures are failing, the designs are fairly inflexible, and the costs of renovation or new construction are high. However, institutions have little choice; current needs simply cannot be addressed by existing structures. Given this reality, the pros and cons of minor renovations, extensive renovations, and new construction are evaluated.

Integrating Strategic Finance and Endowment Management

By: Philip Taylor,Roger C. Hewins III,William F Massy

A new paradigm will help colleges and universities achieve financial equilibrium.

From Volume 26 Number 2 | Winter 1997–1998

Abstract: For too long, the authors contend, endowment management strategies have not been linked with overall financial management at most colleges and universities. Advocates a comprehensive, objective approach to financial planning and management which does not separate investment management from the other financial management operations of the institution. Discusses potential goals for design and implementation of integrated strategic financial planning and investing, including a five-step process for investment management.

Planning, Decisions, and Human Nature

By: George C. Keller

Should planning concentrate more on people and less on process?

From Volume 26 Number 2 | Winter 1997–1998

Abstract: Typically, it is asserted that the key to getting people to accept change is to "get the process right." However, the author maintains that too much time is spent on process, to the near-exclusion of examining the reasons why people act as they do. Surveys views of human nature from Freud to Marx to Madison in an attempt to summarize just a few of the most popular frameworks for understanding human behavior. Keeping such frameworks in mind when enacting strategic change may make the difference between success and failure.

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.
