Assessing Presidential Effectiveness

January/February 2010

Trusteeship magazine starts out the new year with a bang, answering the question of why academic institutions should be doing annual and comprehensive periodic evaluations of their presidents. You'll want to read Rich Morrill's article, and his forthcoming book on presidential assessment, to be published this spring by AGB. The pitfalls and possibilities of closing academic programs, and what trustees need to know about it, are covered in depth by Peter Eckel.

November/December 2009

In this issue of Trusteeship, we look at the economic crisis and its impact on college and university development programs. Our question: Is there a new normal? Continuing on the fundraising theme, we examine the sometimes fine line between donors' wishes and an institution's rights for use of major charitable gifts.
