The first full-length study devoted to examining 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-- "First Among Equals" addresses the need
for vision and leadership by these individuals in an increasingly
complex higher education environment. Contributors to this landmark
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 programs for complex and
demanding constituencies.
Each chapter of "First Among Equals" 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 development, among others.
As higher education institutions compete to unprecedented degrees
for the brightest students and the most accomplished faculty,
"First Among Equals" provides much needed guidance for those who
occupy or aspire to this position, both in understanding its
expanding number of tasks and becoming expert at performing
them.
