Renew, Revise, or Reject: Presidential Turnover and Strategic Planning Impacts

Delivered July 22, 2024
Presented by Sandra Patterson-Randles, Chancellor Emerita and Professor of English

Since the average presidential tenure is now fewer than six years, campuses need to design and implement circumspect planning which will prove stable even in the event of leadership changes. Using examples from eight institutions across the U.S., this session explores the challenges to campus strategic planning when new leadership arrives. Campus constituencies will be able to weather the uncertainties of a presidential transition through a detailed understanding of commonly experienced impacts on campus planning.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Identify campus contextual factors which will influence the selection of new leadership and their incoming perspectives.
  2. Identify and anticipate common change scenarios from new leadership.
  3. Strategize around stakeholder responses to leadership changes in planning.
  4. Identify key factors in planning and implementation that allow initiatives to 'survive' leadership turnover.
