Crises are no strangers on campuses-whether the deaths of students,
severe weather events, athletic wrongdoing, crime, or student or
employee malfeasance. How leaders respond can save lives,
strengthen the institution, and comfort the community-or compromise
reputations and result in scandal. Risk management and readiness
are not often at the top of the list of what presidents and their
boards must do, but in a time of ongoing change, instantaneous
communication, and media scrutiny, they risk their jobs and their
institutional reputation if they do not heed the messages conveyed
in this book. Gretchen Bataille and Diana Cordova, with extensive
and varied experiences that include a university presidency,
directing senior leadership programs, and counseling presidents and
senior administrators faced with critical campus events - together
with 22 presidents, seasoned leaders in higher education, and media
experts - provide forthright, firsthand advice on preparing for and
managing a crisis, as well on handling the emotional, and often
long-term, toll that can result from dramatic events on campus.
Through the examples of those who have successfully managed crises,
this book provides expert insights and guidance on preparedness,
assigning roles and responsibilities, and planning for
contingencies ahead of time so that, in the moment, when there is
pressure for immediate response that will be scrutinized by the
media, by the public, and by the local constituencies, leaders can
act with confidence. The contributors emphasize the crucial
importance of ethical behavior, the need for clear protocols for
how all employees should handle problematic issues, and the need
for mechanisms that allow employees and students to report problems
without fear of retribution. Creating an atmosphere of
transparency, accountability, and ethical behavior isn't something
a leader does when a scandal strikes to protect a reputation; it's
what leaders must do to reinforce their good name every day. For
senior leaders and board members not in the throes of managing a
crisis, this book outlines what needs to be done to be prepared and
offers extensive resources for further reading.

Indian women's autobiographies have been slighted because of the
assumption that women had a secondary and insignificant role in
Indian society. Gretchen M. Bataille and Kathleen Mullen Sands
cogently demonstrate in this book the creative vitality of
autobiographies that, despite differences in style and purpose,
clarify the centrality of women in American Indian cultures.
Included is a comprehensive, annotated bibliography or works by and
about American Indian women.

From Columbus's journal jottings about "Indios" to the image of
Sacagawea on the dollar coin, from the marauding Indians portrayed
in the traditional western to the appearance of Native Americans in
"Dances with Wolves," from cigar box caricatures to the Crazy Horse
monument rising near Mt. Rushmore, Native Americans have been
represented— and misrepresented— over the past five centuries. What
such depictions mean— what they say, and what they do,
historically, culturally, and ideologically— is the subject of this
book.
In "Native American Representations," leading national and
international critics of Native literature and culture examine
images in a wide range of media from a variety of perspectives to
show how depictions and distortions have reflected and shaped
cross-cultural exchanges from the arrival of Europeans to today.
Focusing on issues of translation, European and American
perceptions of land and landscape, teaching approaches, and
transatlantic encounters, the authors explore problems of
appropriation and advocacy, of cultural sovereignty and respect for
the "authentic" text. Most significantly, they ask the reader to
consider the question: "Who controls the representation?"
Illuminating and timely, the animated debates and insightful
analyses in this book not only showcase some of the most
provocative work being done in the field of Native Studies today,
but they also set an agenda for its development in the twenty-first
century.
