    Building Trust as a Leader

    The role of the college president faces increasing pressures -- political, financial, and more.

    A New Compact for Colleges

    Does higher ed need reforming? If so, what does that look like? The Trump administration last year proposed its Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education. That proposal was roundly rejected by several major universities. Moving forward, is there a criteria for changes that higher ed develops on its own? If so, what should those changes look like? Is there common ground among different perspectives? This session will debate what’s needed from higher ed to ameliorate the American public’s concerns about cost, value, and more.

    Bridging the Faculty-Leadership Divide

    Faculty members increasingly worry that their institutions are headed in the wrong direction. Leaders, meanwhile, face political attacks, budget cuts, and a challenging enrollment outlook. Building trust on campus has never been more critical. What are the best ways to build that trust and bridge a divide that is crucial to the future of colleges?

    Navigating Neutrality

    In 1967 the University of Chicago published the Kalven Report, which advanced the idea of institutional neutrality in political and social matters. Today more colleges and universities are endorsing that stance as higher ed faces a variety of public criticism. But the nuances of when to speak out and on what issues is a huge challenge for colleges. Join Steven G. Poskanzer, a former college president, to explore his new book that provides a framework for when leaders should take a stand.
