COVID-19 Crisis: What’s a Strategic Public University System Board to Do?

Public university systems offer higher education opportunities to a majority of the nation’s postsecondary students. These systems navigate incredible challenges facing their institutions in light of COVID-19 both in the short term and long term, including the shift to virtual educational delivery on a large scale, the likelihood of reduced state funding, and a rapidly changing enrollment picture. Strategic governance of these complex systems is more essential than ever for the men and women who serve on system governing boards. This webinar offers board members and institutional leaders of public systems insight into the particular impacts of COVID-19 on their sector. Watch as a panel of experts discuss how boards can offer strategic governance within these systems, communicate during a crisis, and leverage system-wide resources and collaboration for future success.
