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.

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.
