Synopsis

This study examines new roles and responsibilities of the chief academic officer, now more often called vice president for academic affairs or provost than the traditional academic dean. The book addresses the need for vision and leadership by these individuals in an increasingly complex higher education environment. Contributors to this volume - all present or former chief academic officers - conclude that the most effective leaders combine high levels of managerial acumen with professional scholarship while challenging their institutions to provide effective programmes for complex and demanding constituencies. Each chapter explores a different aspect of the chief academic officer's primary responsibilities, including relations with the president and the board, academic governance, curriculum development, new instructional technologies, enrollment management, legal affairs, and faculty developments, among others. As higher education institutions compete to unprecedented degrees for the brightest students and the most accompliched faculty, this book provides guidance for those who occupy or aspire to this position, both in understanding its expanding number of tasks and in becomining expert at performing them.
