WHAT MAKES A GOOD UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT? - While plenty of college presidents retire or resign every year - and just after Ohio State announced its succession plan - it’s rare for so many prestigious research universities to be simultaneously hunting for replacements. And leading these schools is not the same job it was a generation ago, according to The Wall Street Journal. Bill Funk, founder of higher-education executive search firm R. William Funk & Associates, likened the position to being a professional fundraiser and public relations executive combined with the mayor of a city. Today, Funk says, university presidents are also “carrying the flag for higher education” at a sensitive moment. Conservative activists and politicians are taking credit for ousting the presidents of Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania in the past month, and have called for a broader overhaul of colleges nationwide. Elite schools are lambasted for hoarding multibillion-dollar endowments, as well as for fixating on diversity and moving so far to the left that they shut out conservative voices. Meanwhile, many Americans have begun to doubt whether a college degree is still a good investment. https://lnkd.in/egN-8Ect

"To those who hope to cultivate the next generation of academic leadership, my advice is pretty simple. Believe that vision and innovation and change management are essential. Think about recruiting executives with different experiences, backgrounds, and skills. Ask your candidates for their big ideas about the institution and about the future of higher education — and pay special attention if you find someone who has tended a bonsai." Great words of wisdom from our Academic Advisor, Ann Kirschner, in her new piece for Forbes. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/eNBasdig
