Why focus on higher education
boards and leadership?
Strong higher education institutions start with great governing boards. The board sets the mission, strategic direction, and policies while ensuring accountability and advocating for the institution’s value and public trust. By working through the board and senior leadership, your organization can address substantive higher education issues such as:
Student success, the student experience, and campus climate
Academic freedom and freedom of speech
Educational affordability and attainment
Educational innovation and digital transformation
Leadership development and optimization
