Higher Education Leadership

The Chronicle reports on how the growing list of job demands required for college presidents is changing how leaders are hired. The last few years have brought on a number of challenges stemming from the pandemic, political climates, enrollment declines and the public’s changing perceptions on the value of college. Boards have altered their search criteria and are looking for more strategic leaders to navigate the growing political and financial pressures. Candidates are also becoming more selective with the colleges they want to work at, asking to review the institution’s finances and expectations.
