Description
The contributors to this issue present a variety of strategies to
help chief academic officers not only survive but excel while
juggling their many and varied responsibilities. They offer
seasoned advice on fulfilling the CAO's academic duties, and
explore the CAO's faculty and administrative roles, discussing how
to balance the sometimes conflicting roles of faculty mentor,
advocate, and disciplinarian and the importance of establishing a
synergistic working relationship with the president. They show how
to resolve typical crises that arise in the course of the CAO's
daily duties, and demonstrate how conflict can actually be an
opportunity to effect constructive change. The issue also covers
the important areas of resource and data management, providing an
introduction to resource management concepts and terminology and
presenting a case study of an award-winning data-driven
decision-making process.
This is the 109th issue of the Jossey-Bass series New
Directions for Community Colleges.
