Book excerpt: "The role of the community college chief academic officer (CAO) is undergoing a significant change in the twenty-first century due to an evolving higher education environment. Community colleges are facing continuous enrollment declines, have fewer financial resources to draw upon, and are under an increasing amount of external pressure, leaving senior leaders with a new set of challenges. Simultaneously, women are moving into the role of the community college CAO at a faster pace than their counterparts at four-year institutions. The purpose of this interpretive phenomenological analysis was to examine the leadership experiences of women chief academic officers at community colleges within the State University of New York (SUNY) system. SUNY's 30 community colleges make up nearly half of its 64 campuses. Eight women, currently serving as a community college CAO, participated in this study through a semi-structured interview and were asked to describe their leadership experiences as a CAO. The Synergistic Leadership Theory served as the theoretical framework through which to view the participants' responses. This study found that the role of the community college CAO, with respect to the women who serve in it, is evolving and increasing in its responsibilities, identified essential skills needed by today's CAOs, indicated that the participant's viewed their gender as a challenge, discovered there is no CAO role-specific training, and noted the majority of these women are not pursuing a college presidency. Recommendations center on the need for: additional preparation for the role of CAO, an increase in national awareness about the current literature and trends on this population of leaders, further development of opportunities to support a transition to a college presidency, and updated curriculum within doctoral coursework and programs, particularly those aligned with community college leadership"--Author's abstract.

Download or read book Leadership through Collaboration written by Ann S. Ferren and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2004-02-28 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is organized around 11 topics, including the skills and personal qualities needed to provide effective academic leadership; strengthening the infrastructure for academic affairs through strategic planning, facilities planning, and technology integration; the importance of developing new resources and linking them to academic priorities; academic entrepreneurship; assessing academic quality and improving programs and services; continuous improvement; the central importance of investing in the faculty; and improving academic decisions. The chief academic officer must be the voice for the campus's academic purposes and a source of energy in supporting the activities of others. Collaboration with colleagues across the institution is key to Ferren and Stanton's approach. Their experiences in administrative roles, ranging from department chair to provost, have provided them with the ability to conduct and utilize many studies, including budget adequacy modeling and salary equity studies. These are issues for which the authors have been responsible for implementation and decision-making, allowing them to understand that collaborative processes and partnerships-such as chairs with deans, deans with vice presidents, faculty with administrators, or the CAO with members of the president's cabinet—are as important as informed decision-making. Because CAOs are less likely to read what business officers and vice presidents for administration read, this book attempts to integrate differing institutional perspectives and explain processes and criteria. CAOs can tailor their decisions to institution circumstances and solve problems with greater insight.

Book excerpt: A go-to resource to help provosts, deans, presidents, and trustees effectively meet the challenges of leading a college or university. As the chief academic officer, the provost plays the central role in the contemporary university or college. He or she leads the faculty and serves as their key representative to the administration while simultaneously acting as the administration's spokesperson to the academic faculty. How has this essential leadership position evolved over the past few decades, and what are the best practices to adopt for succeeding in specific operational areas? In seventeen essays written by some of the most successful chief academic officers in the United States, The Provost's Handbook outlines key topics related to the changing environment of higher education while explaining what constitutes effective leadership at the college and university level. How, for example, does the provost lead in a time of disruption and shifting needs? What skills should he or she nurture in new faculty? What role should data and institutional research play in decision making? How can a provost navigate the often stormy situations of shared governance? These questions—and many more challenges presented by this role—are addressed in this essential volume. Assembled by James Martin and James E. Samels, accomplished authors and scholars of leadership in higher education, The Provost's Handbook is destined to become the go-to resource for deans, presidents, trustees, and chief academic officers everywhere.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As American community colleges enter the 21st century, there is a convergence of concerns regarding the next generation of community college leaders. Both community college presidents and their Chief Academic Officers (CAO) are retiring at rapid rate; it is predicted that 80% of all presidents and lead administrators will retire by 2011. Historically, CAOs have been the most likely source to fill presidential vacancies - aside from existing presidents themselves. However, research suggests that future community college leaders will require a skillset different from their predecessors. This suggests the possibility that either the next generation of leaders needs to come via non-traditional routes or additional training will be needed for current academics aspiring to ascend into upper administration. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the identity of today's Chief Academic Officers in terms of their gender and race/ethnicity.^Also additional information has been gathered regarding their educational background and the educational and occupational backgrounds of their parents. Female and minority CAOs have been asked to share their experiences unique to them because of their gender and race/ethnicity. Finally, CAOs who have been identified by their peers as exemplars in their field were asked to rate the importance of specific attitudes, skills, and abilities to not only Chief Academic Officers, but also what they perceive as important traits in their subordinates. A two-staged online surveying process resulted in feedback from 336 Chief Academic Officers. The surveys were largely based on a similar research effort in the mid-1980s. By adopting a similar method, it was possible to conduct several comparative analyses. Several important finding emerged from this study. Today's Chief Academic Officers are more diverse (in terms of gender and race/ethnicity) than they were 20 years ago.^A majority of female and minority CAOs participated in some sort of leadership training or professional development that helped them execute their duties as Chief Academic Officer. However, this same group of administrators still experience obstacles in terms of interviewing, getting hired, and gaining acceptance from their colleagues. Finally, the skills, attitudes, and abilities that are perceived as important to Chief Academic Officers and their subordinates are relatively similar to how they were in the past. The implications of this study are discussed with the intent of educating Boards of Trustees, hiring committees, policy makers, and all interesting in the community college movement.

Book excerpt: The contributors to this issue present a variety of strategies to help chief academic officers not only survive but excel while juggling their many and varied responsibilities.

Download or read book Consolidating Colleges and Merging Universities written by James Martin and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the midst of falling enrollments and endowments, university leaders consider partnering, merging, and even closing institutions. Since the economic recession of 2008, colleges and universities have looked for ways to lower costs while increasing incomes. Not all have succeeded. Threatened closures and recent institutional mergers point to what might be a coming trend in higher education. The long-term economic weakness of colleges and universities means schools need to become more strategic about how they consider previously unthinkable options. This provocative book will be their indispensable guide to managing the crisis. In Consolidating Colleges and Merging Universities, James Martin and James E. Samels bring together higher education leaders to talk about something that few want to discuss: how institutions might cooperate with their competitors to survive in this economic climate. Barring that, Martin and Samels argue, some will shutter their campuses. But closing, they emphasize, is a complex process that involves more than just sending the students home and turning off the lights. The first one-volume resource for presidents, trustees, provosts, chief financial officers, and faculty leaders planning to partner, merge, or close a college or university, the book offers specific guidelines and action steps used successfully to create multiple forms of partnership between higher education institutions. The book includes contributions by twenty nationally recognized leaders in partnership and strategic planning, as well as an appendix detailing key college and university mergers and closures since 2000. Each chapter includes informative responses from practitioners who answer the question, “What is the single most important lesson you would share with a planning team designing a partnership or merger this year?” Responding to many daunting questions now being raised nationally about institutional fragility and sustainability, Consolidating Colleges and Merging Universities is an honest and practical guide to the possibilities and pitfalls of downsizing American higher education.
