Synopsis

This work aims to provide a comprehensive handbook for those involved in - or considering - an academic merger, consolidation or new form of resource sharing. Providing practical and theoretical advice on the academic, financial, administrative, legal, personnel and student aspects of mergers, the authors set forth an action plan for those involved in planning and implementing a mutual growth - rather than a bankruptcy bailout - merger. They cite numerous instances of successful mergers in the United States and Great Britain and offer specific examples to explain why they succeed. Among the topics discussed are presidential leadership, the challenges of curriculum restructuring and faculty development, the legal and financial implications of mergers, the role of trustees and governing boards in both public and private institutions, and strategies merging student cultures, alumni organizations and library resources. The book includes hints and checklists designed to be of ued to academic managers planning a merger or anyone affected by one, including alumni and local community members.
