The Inevitable Interim

By: Paul R. Dauphinais

From Volume 27 Number 3 | Spring 1999

Abstract: Few presidents leave under "normal" expected circumstances. Quite often this void left must be filled with an interim appointment. What the interim is expected to do, length of service, and ramification of the choice of interim are issues a governing body must consider before the need becomes reality.

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.
