FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 1 Part One THE CONTEXT OF THE TASK FORCE REPORT The decade of the nineties was a period of significant change — and at times upheaval – for the University of Massachusetts at Amherst (UMA). On several fronts the campus advanced its position as an important center for teaching, research and service to the public: • The Board of Higher Education selected UMass Amherst in 1997 as the home of the statewide honors college — Commonwealth College. The first class was enrolled in 1999. • For the past two years, UMass Amherst has been named one of the institutions offering the best value for the money in the Kaplan/Newsweek college guide, and this year was also listed as a leading school supporting diversity. • The 1995 National Research Council (NRC) ranking of research doctoral programs placed UMass Amherst in the top 25% nationally in Linguistics, Materials Science, Psychology, Computer Sciences, Chemical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering.

UMass Selects a Elements of a New President Search Strategy Richard A. Hogarty The selection of a new university president, an event of major importance in academic life, is usually filled with tensions on the part of those concerned about its outcome. The 1992 presidential search at the University of Massachusetts exemplifies such ten- sions. There were mixed reactions to the overall performance. When they finished reviewing candidates, the search committee had eliminated all but Michael K. Hooker, who, they deemed, has the necessary competence, vision, and stature for the task. The main conflict centered on the question of "process" versus "product. " The trustees rejoiced in what they considered an impressive choice, while many faculty were angered over what they considered a terrible process.

Searching for a Transitions and UMass President Leaderships, 1970-1991 Richard A. Hogarty This article traces the history of the five presidential successions that have taken place at the University of Massachusetts since 1970. No manual or campus report will reveal the one best way to conduct a presidential search. How to do so is not easy to prescribe. Suitably fleshed out, the events surrounding these five searches tell us a great deal about what works and what doesn 't. It is one thing to offer case illustrations ofpast events, another to say how they might be put to use by other people in another era with quite different situations and concerns. In evaluating these transitions and leaderships, this article also raises the question of what is the proper role of the president in university governance.

S. FOREIGN POLICY AGENDA USIA ELECTRONIC JOURNALS VOLUME 2 • NUMBER 1 • MARCH 1997 “Fifty years ago, a farsighted America led in creating the institutions that secured victory in the Cold War and built a growing world economy. As a result, today more people than ever embrace our ideals and share our interests.... Now, we stand at another moment of change and choice — and another time to be farsighted — to bring America 50 more years of security and prosperity.” With these words, President Clinton, in his annual State of the Union address, issued an appeal to the Republican-controlled U.S. Congress to work with him, over the next four years, in a spirit of bipartisanship to meet U.S. foreign policy goals for the 21st century. Those goals — and the views of the administration and Congress on how to achieve them — are the subject of this journal. In the focus section, the president, the secretary of state, the secretary of defense, and a National Security Council official outline administration foreign policy priorities, and three members of Congress who deal with foreign policy issues give their views on future directions for U.S. foreign policy. A leading scholar, in the commentary section, gives an outsider’s view of the problems involved in executive- legislative relations; and the major administration and congressional figures who deal with foreign policy are profiled in Key Players.
