PURCHASE THE REPORT:
The Challenge of Leading Today's Colleges
How Presidencies Go Wrong
 
Today's college campuses are a microcosm of the outside world. University presidents must balance new types of tensions, including those related to growing racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity among students and, to a lesser extent, among faculty members. 

The Chronicle's latest report, "The Challenge of Leading Today's Colleges," examines the complex factors shaping the presidency today: strained business models, transformational changes within the academic landscape, the importance of responding quickly to controversies, and the need to manage competing needs.
