The two of us had just attended a meeting of the Nati( nal Academy of Education. Judith McLaughlin was then serving as executive director of this association; David Riesman was one of the Academy's founding members. A doctoral student at the Harvard Graduate School of Educa- tion, !With McLaughlin was writing her dissertation on the subject of confidentiality and disclosure in the presidential search, a topic in which David Riesman had long been interested. This chance discovery of our mutual interest in the searchprocess for college and university presidents led to a collaboration on research and writing that has lasted more than ten years. And this volume is in every sense a collaborative effort. The discussion chapters in particular have been rewritten and revised so many times that no paragraph remains which is of one authorship only. Choosing a College President isa blend of our data, analyses, and writing, and the book hasgrown out of this synthesis of our individual contributions. But, while this book began with a conversation between two people, it is the out-growth of conversations with many, many others. During our ten years Gf studying searches, we have spoken and corresponded with literally hundreds of people, whose accounts of their experiences have fur- thered our understanding of the dynamics of the presidential search and the larger issues of leadership and governance. In this Acknowledgments section, we want to thank all of these people, without whose generosity in sharing their experiences and insights this book could not havecome into being. From the beginning of our joint research, we agreed on the crucialques- tion of confidentiality, not only as a topic of inquiry in higher education and in the wider society, but also as a mandate to ourselves in proceeding with our inquiry. We promised informants to keep confidential what we learned from them, scrupulously checking with individuals before we cited them concerning something they had told us. Correspondingly, we cannot acknowledge here by name the wonderfully cooperative trustees, faculty members, administrators, students, and journalists who helped us to un- derstand the search processes in which they were participants or observ- ers. In many cases, these people spentseveral hours in interviews with one or both of us, and then additional time reviewingearly drafts of our stories about their searches. Similarly, we will not name here individually the countless candidates for presidential positions with whom we have spoken, both those who were successful and those who werc not (and many of the latter became, eventually, one ofthe former), with whom we have spoken, but we are much indebted to them for their candor, reflec- tions, ard time. Early in our work together, we discovered what today can be called the consultant industry, that is, those individuals whose line of work involves advising boards of trustees and search committees on the search and selec- tion process. As we came to know some of the more observant search consultants, we found them to be valuable resources to aid our own un- derstanding of the search process. Ruth Weintraub, the doyenne of search consultants in higher education, opened her files in her New York office to us when we were preparing our account ofthe Winthrop College search, which she and her staff assisted. Frederic Ness, Ronald Stead, Shir- ley Chater, Christine Young, and their associates in the Academic Search Consultation Service have been rarticularly helpful to us over the years in thinking aloud about the issues of searching and the use of consultants in this endeavor. We have learned much from long conversations with Nancy Archer-Martin, Kenneth Langstaff, Millington McCoy, William Bowen, William Tipping, Raymond Klemmer, Ira Krinsky, Richard Lan- caster, Maria Perez, Charles Neff, Charles Fisher, and John Isaacson, all alike in their willingness to share with us the stories of their consultations and in their desire to think aloud about how to improve the practice of searching for leadership. We are grateful to Stephen Garrison, Harry Marmion, Charles Nelson, and John Synodinos for their thoughtful reviews of our chapter drafts on the use of consultants in the presidential search process. A few search committee chairs deserve special mention for their contri- butions to our we Terry Peterson, chair of the Winthrop College search whose story is told in Chapter VIII, and Mary Sue McElveen, chair of the Winthrop board of trustees

Pister just prior to his retirement on June 30, 1996, as part of its University History series. Pister was originally named as the campus’s sixth chancellor for an interim two-year appointment by UC President David P. Gardner in August, 1991, after the resignation of UCSC Chancellor Robert B. Stevens. In March, 1992, the UC Regents approved President Gardner’s recommendation for Pister’s regular appointment as chancellor. Prior to his appointment, Pister had spent his entire academic life at UC Berkeley—thirty years as a faculty member and fifteen years as an academic administrator—and as a seasoned veteran of the UC system and its bureaucracy, he knew the workings of the Academic Senate, the key figures in the University administration, and the institution’s policies and culture, all of which stood him in good stead at UC Santa Cruz. Born in Stockton, California, Pister received his B.S. (1945) and M.S. degrees (1948) in civil engineering at UC Berkeley. In 1952 he received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in theoretical and applied mechanics. He began his career at UC as a lecturer in 1947, and in 1952 joined the faculty of the College of Engineering where he had a distinguished career as a professor of engineering.

Land grant institutions and public colleges, such as the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (U of I), have an unique capacity and obligation to residents to provide access and avenues to new forms of knowledge. The institutionalization of Black Studies at predominantly White institutions of higher education produced dialectic processes that shaped the discipline and reshaped the university.

  • Quality Management in Higher Education: Abandoned Or Embedded?
    QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION: ABANDONED OR EMBEDDED? by LYNN LABUDA (Under the Direction of James C. Hearn) ABSTRACT Financial, legislative, and competitive pressures in the 1980s caused many higher education institutions to pursue quality management, and the late-1980s and 1990s saw the adoption of quality management principles by a variety of public and private universities, community and technical colleges, and professional schools. Quality management tools and methodologies were applied to a variety of administrative and academic processes, and customers, e.g., students, alumni, employers. This research aims to determine the extent to which the quality management movement during the late-1980s and 1990s continued at three four-year public higher education institutions, and the factors that led to quality management being embedded or abandonment at these institutions. The three case study institutions are the Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Maryland College Park, and Pennsylvania State University - University Park. Leadership theory and organizational theory conceptual frameworks were used to inform my research. The research results indicated that individuals with certain engaging trait, participative, and transformational leadership styles may be more successful in implementing and sustaining change initiatives such as quality management. In addition, change initiatives may experience greater success and sustainability in collegial organizations than bureaucratic and political organizations. The research results also identified five additional factors contributing to quality management being embedded in the three institutions. The research suggests that external influence (business, industry, governing entities, legislative, public, etc.) may have a positive and/or negative effect on a quality management initiative, and care should be taken to consider but not primarily let external influences drive the strategy of the quality management initiative.
