In Can State Universities Be Managed? Duane Acker focuses on perspectives, the crtitical knowledge base, early actions, and management practices for presidential or other university officer aspirants or appointees. Chapters on specific issues, such as money sources, athletics, research parks, state-wide programs, and student enrollment, will help leaders achieve effective and rewarding management.
This book responds to questions the reader should ask, such as: How are 21st-century state universities perceived? How would I fit into a specific university and its leadership position? What should I expect in the selection process? What should I be sure to know - - about the university's programs, key people, money, priorities? There are many other issues the reader will need to deal with once appointed and these are addressed here too. Among the topics covered are critical first steps, and when, where, and how to take them; steps the appointing authority or one's predecessor can take that will help ease the transition; and other issues one will surely face. The book explores management concepts and practices specifically applicable to universities, offers examples that will help the reader prepare, and outlines the relationships that are most critical to success--and how one keeps them positive and helpful. Equally important, it explains where state university money comes from, and in what proportions, as well as ways to manage those sources to get needed funds. Finally, it covers ways in which one can handle a demanding management job and still enjoy good family relationships and good health.
