Quote from: simpleSimon on March 26, 2024, 05:28:31 PMIn a school of any size someone somewhere is doing something wrong (falsified research, drugs, affairs with students, financial mismanagement, athletes who cannot read, etc.) How many of these potential crises are being effectively managed and which ones are likely to go public? Crisis management is essential and keeping boards in the dark is one way for a president to get on their bad side.

Wow, congratulations!
I have been absent on here because of two back-to-back out of state trips. Thus, no book manuscript writing got done (shocker). However, I did get named a research fellow for an organization last week which is cool. I got the proof for a forthcoming chapter. Also, my sabbatical manuscript that has been under review for almost 9 months shows the status of "awaiting final decision" and I sure as heck hope it is a R&R and not a reject!

Quote from: Parasaurolophus on March 22, 2024, 11:45:45 AMSo... I have no idea what the upper administrative echelons do, either nominally or in practice. Like... Wtf is a provost for?
- President/Chancellor: ...fundraiser-in-chief? PR? Hands out diplomas...
- Provost:
- Dean: approves stuff--hires, courses, overloads, etc. Do they ever deny stuff? Anything else?
I assume I've missed a pile, but I don't even know what. The registrar, I guess, but at least I have some idea of what they do.
