ewer than one-third of college chief
fnancial offcers are more optimistic
about the state of the U.S. economy to-
day than they were a year ago, according to
a new Chronicle-Moodys survey of nearly
500 college CFOs. Yet when it comes to the
fnancial prospects of their own institutions,
somewhat more than that39 percentare
more optimistic today.
The survey suggests that colleges are still a
long way from easy street following the worst
fnancial decline in decades. While 60 per-
cent of the CFOs said it was very unlikely
that their institutions would make layoffs in
the coming yearand an additional 18 per-
cent said layoffs were somewhat unlike-
lynearly 39 percent said it was still very or
somewhat likely that their institution would
freeze hiring for nonfaculty positions.
As they begin the 2011-12 academic year,
CFOs of community colleges and other pub-
lic institutions rank the decline in state sup-
port as far and away the most worrisome fac-
tor facing their institutions.
Northern Arizona University is becoming
a semiprivate university, said its vice presi-
dent for fnance and administration, Jennus
L. Burton, who responded to the survey on
economic conditions and agreed to be inter-
viewed. In 2007 state funds covered about
34 percent of the universitys budget; for the
2012 academic year, state funds will cover 24
percent. Although the recession has offcially
ended, the anemic pace of the recovery is for
Mr. Burton and others a continuing source of
unease. Projections suggest it could take three
or four more years before the economy gets
back to 2008 levels.
Thats not great news, said Mr. Burton.

n 2006, Harvard sociologists struck a mother
lode of social-science data, offering a new way
to answer big questions about how race and cul-
tural tastes affect relationships.
The source: some 1,700 Facebook profles, down-
loaded from an entire class of students at an anony-
mous university, that could reveal how friendships
and interests evolve over time.
It was the kind of collection that hundreds of scholars
would fnd interesting.
And in 2008, the Har-
vard team began to re-
alize that potential by
publicly releasing part
of its archive.
But today the
data-sharing venture
has collapsed. The
Facebook archive is
more like plutonium
than goldits con-
tents yanked offine,
its future release un-
certain, its creators scolded by some scholars for
downloading the profles without students knowl-
edge and for failing to protect their privacy. Those
students have been identifed as Harvard Colleges
Class of 2009.
The story of that collapse shines a light on emerg-
ing ethical challenges faced by scholars researching
social networks and other online environments.

CHrONICLe ILLUSTrATION BY BOB MCGrATH

S
ome people might consider Carlos L.
Aikens job pretty cushy. At a glance,
anyone can see that he taught a total of
45 students at the University of Texas at Dal-
las in a recent academic year, while earning
a six-fgure salary. Like many scholars, the
geosciences professor is spending much of
this summer off campus, including doing re-
search in Scotland and Wales.
But what the public often doesnt see, and
what politicians often dont measure, is how
Mr. Aiken spends most of the rest of his
time. He supervises graduate students, writes
grants to keep his research afoat, and recent-
ly he gave a presentation on 3D virtual geol-
ogy to a local chapter of the Society of In-
dependent Professional earth Scientists. Hes
working on and off
throughout the sum-
mer, even though the
time he puts in is not
factored into his pay.
And his travels are
mostly job-related.
The half-dozen
graduate students
whom he supervis-
es rely on weekly
meetings with Mr. Aiken to help shape their
research plans. Face-to-face discussions with
offcials of companies like Shell Oil, which un-
derwrite his research, are a must. He spent two
weeks doing feldwork in a west-Texas town
in 104-degree weather, to be followed by the
trans-Atlantic trip with one of his undergradu-
ate students in tow.
A lot of people dont understand that sum-
mers are for feldwork, and it has to go on
whether were salaried or not, says Mr. Ai-
ken, who has been a professor at Dallas since
1978. Your students are working with you
and youre publishing with them, and thats a
process that has to go on continually. If that
doesnt happen, students get derailed from
making the progress they need to fnish.

eral fnancial support and concerns about
their ability to raise tuition remain top wor-
ries. CFOs at private and public four-year in-
stitutions said competition for studentsand
at private colleges, the additional problem of
tuition discounting, or the proportion of tu-
ition revenue they use to pay for the costs of
student aidis a major fnancial concern.
And three years into an economic downturn
that has forced staff layoffs and budget cuts at
campuses across most of the countrywhile
generally shielding faculty members from
the worst of the impactmany of the CFOs
homed in on the issue of faculty productivity
as the greatest obstacle to cost cutting.
Asked in the survey last month to select
the one strategy they would use to cut costs
or raise revenue if they didnt have to wor-
ry about the consequences, nearly 38 per-
cent chose increase teaching loads, and
an additional 17 percent said eliminate
tenure.
Raising tuition claimed about 19 percent
of votes, while none of the other choices
instituting mandatory retirements, cutting
student services, hiring more adjuncts, or
increasing enrollment by changing admis-
sions standardsclaimed more than 11
percent.
Frustration With Faculty
That the CFOs focused on faculty pro-
ductivity is a really good window into the
reality of the business model of colleges,
said John C. Nelson, who heads the higher-
education practice at Moodys Investor Ser-
vice.
Thats the last big area where there are
really material effciencies to be had, noted
Mr. Nelson. Since the fnancial crisis hit, in
2008, many institutions have been overhaul-
ing purchasing, instituting energy-savings
programs, curbing costs on maintenance of
buildings and grounds, and attacking the
costs of staff, he said, but they havent
changed how the biggest corps of their em-
ployees spend most of their time. Its the last

Renovations on the exterior of the library at Albion College are being done in phases to save money. Michael L. Frandsen, vice president for fnance
and administration at the college and a survey respondent, says, Certainly wed like to move faster than were able to right now.

The Week in Brief
The U.S. Education Departments Of-
fce for Civil Rights settled with the
University of Notre Dame over its han-
dling of sexual-harassment cases, in
what one expert called a shot across
the bow to every college and univer-
sity in the country. Notre Dame also
agreed to pay a much lower fne in a
separate settlement with Indiana reg-
ulators over its role in the accidental
death of a student who was flming a
football-team practice as a university-
paid cameraman atop a hydraulic lift
when strong winds knocked it over.
The annual college rankings by U.S.
News & World Report will soon ex-
pand to include online programs, a
move assailed by critics who said vir-
tual programs are even more diffcult
to compare than traditional ones.
A federal appeals court ruled that an
amendment to the Michigan Consti-
tution prohibiting affrmative action
in the states public colleges is itself
unconstitutional, overturning a ban
on preferential admissions adopted
by voters in 2006.
Blackboard Inc., maker of the popu-
lar college course-management soft-
ware, agreed to a $1.64-billion buy-
out by a private-equity frm.
New federal rules require colleges to
show they are seeking approval to
operate in every state where they en-
roll students, making some wonder if
theyre in too many states and rais-
ing questions about whether compli-
ance will hurt access for students.
Brandeis University ended a long-sim-
mering dispute by promising not to
sell any part of its Rose Art Museums
prized collection of contemporary art.
An arbitrator ruled that a professor
of German at the University of New
Hampshire should keep his job, de-
spite his pleading guilty to exposing
himself to a 17-year-old girl and her
mother in a grocery-store parking lot
two years ago. The ruling drew sharp
criticism from the states governor
and several top lawmakers.

Note to Readers
The Chronicle is on its biweekly sum-
mer print-publishing schedule. The
next issue, dated July 29, will be
mailed to subscribers on July 22.
T
he survey about economic con-
ditions was carried out by The
Chronicle in cooperation with
Moodys Investors Service. we e-mailed
the survey in June to senior offcers at
2,421 public and private nonproft insti-
tutions.
we chose four- and two-year institu-
tions whose total enrollment in the fall
of 2009 was 500 or more. This enroll-
ment included full- and part-time stu-
dents at both the undergraduates and
graduate levels.
In addition, we chose only those
four-year institutions that were clas-
sified as doctoral, masters, or bacca-
laureate institutions by the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching. This criterion excluded spe-
cialized institutions like art colleges
and independent law schools.
For most colleges, we sent the survey
directly to chief or senior fnancial of-
fcers. For about one-quarter of the 958
public two-year institutions we contacted,
we were unable to obtain an e-mail ad-
dress for the chief fnancial offcer, so we
sent the survey to the institutions chief
executive offcer and asked him or her to
forward it to the chief fnancial offcer.
The survey period was two weeks.
we received 480 responses, including
234 from four-year private colleges, 130
from four-year public colleges, and 116
from two-year public colleges.
The overall response rate was 20 per-
centa bit more for the four-year institu-
tions, markedly less (12 percent) for the
two-year ones.
The mix of college types among the
respondents was similar to that of the
colleges invited to participate. Research
institutions, both public and private,
were somewhat overrepresented among
respondents,
The respondents do not represent a
random sample and so may not be rep-

How the Survey Was Conducted

area to go for really signifcant productivity
gains.
Larry Goldstein, a consultant who works
frequently with CFOs, said the sentiment in
the Chronicle-Moodys survey jibes with the
concerns he frequently hears from college
fnance leaders. They arent (for the most
part) saying that faculty members dont work
hard, said Mr. Goldstein. But they question
the current form of the faculty model, which
still allows for senior professors to teach
underenrolled classes and degree programs
and gives administrators little ability to dic-
tate when and how classes are taught, and
whether that model can be sustained fnan-
cially.
The survey results and the frustration re-
fected in the anonymous comments of some
of the CFOstenured and tenure-track fac-
ulty account for less than 30 percent of the
professoriate, yet one CFO wrote that tenure
is morally unfair and economically stran-
gling institutionsare a sign, said Mr. Gold-
stein, that CFOs believe theyve pruned ev-
erything they possibly can. Theyre just at
their wits end.
John W. Sell, a professor of economics
and fnance at the College of Wooster who
served for 18 months as the Ohio colleges
CFO during the start of the fnancial crisis,
said the fndings underscore that the insti-
tutions that will survive better are those
at which administrators and faculty com-
municate about making academic chang-
es.
Its a mistake for CFOs to view facul-
ty simply as inputs to be optimized rath-
er than partners to be engaged construc-
tively, said Mr. Sell. And faculty have
to understand that the decisions that they
make in their disciplinary spheres have im-
plications for their institutions ability to
compete effectively, and this may call for
changes that affect course offerings and the
curriculum.
Meanwhile, the survey suggests that col-
lege leaders will continue to protect faculty
and academic programs as much as possi-
ble. Just over 50 percent of the CFOs said
it was very unlikely that they would freeze
hiring of faculty members and adjunct pro-
fessors this academic year, but only 33 per-
cent said the same would be true for non-
faculty hires.
A Broad Look
The survey results, while not a scientifc
sampling, do include a broad representa-
tion from all segments of public and pri-
vate nonproft higher education. (For more
on how the survey was conducted, see Page
A3.)
The glimmers of optimism among the
finance officers about their own insti-
tutions are understandable, said Lucie
Lapovsky, formerly a college CFO and
president and now a consultant. The econ-
omy is still faltering and unemployment
remains unnaturally high, but factors that
directly hit colleges bottom lines are
improving: The stock market that feeds
their endowments is up, and interest rates,
which determine their cost of borrowing,
are low. And while enrollment remains a
challenge for some institutions, at public
colleges, she noted, demand has gone
through the roof.
Yet as the survey highlights, some fnan-
cial trends and worries can matter much
more to some kinds of institutions than to
others.
That disparity is especially clear for
community colleges. While only 25 per-
cent of all CFOs said they were less op-
timistic about the financial prospects of
their own institutions today compared
with a year ago, among community-col-
lege CFOs, 42 percent were less optimis-
tic. About 32 percent of community-col-
lege CFOs said it was very likely their
institutions would freeze hiring for non-
faculty positions, compared with 18 per-
cent over all, and 47 percent said they
planned to freeze salaries, compared with
31 percent over all.
Community colleges dont have endow-
ments, and they rely not only on state govern-
ments but also on local governments, which
are hurting in the wake of sagging real-estate
values. With their open-access mission, they
also have less ability to raise their tuition to
make up for cuts in government support, even
when high unemployment rates continue to
send increasing numbers of students to their
doors.
The community colleges are the sitting
ducks, said Ms. Lapovsky.
Its no surprise, then, that concerns about
attracting and retaining qualifed faculty were
a signifcant factor for the CFOs of two-year
institutions, as well as for those of four-year
public colleges; 34 percent of the CFOs at
those institutions named that as one of their
top three internal issues. Only 10 percent of
the private-college CFOs named it among
their top three issues.
How can you say, Hey, come here.
Were going to cut your salary by 5 per-
cent, but we really want you to come,
said Patty Charlton, senior vice president
for fnance and facilities at the College of
Southern Nevada, a community college that
is now entering its third biennium of lower
state support. (Part of the answer, at least
in Nevada, which is ground zero for the
mortgage meltdown, noted Ms. Charlton,
is that they can get a house pretty cheap
now.)
Nevadas community colleges dont get
money from their local governments, but
elsewhere many do. And community-college
CFOs were also more likely than their col-
leagues at other institutions to track housing
prices, as property values are the fundamen-
tal basis for local-government revenue, as
one of their top three external economic in-
dicators. Over all, only 18 percent of CFOs
named it, but 31 percent of community-col-
lege CFOs did.
The top three indicators over all were un-
employment, stock-market performance, and
interest rates.
Few CFOsabout 20 percentreported
that their operating budgets would be smaller
for the 2012 academic year than in 2011, and
most of those respondents were at public in-
stitutions.
The survey also asked CFOs about
strategies their institutions were using to
raise revenue and cut costs. Only about 9
percent said they were very likely or like-
ly to furlough employees. About 24 per-
cent said they expected to offer early-re-
tirement incentives. I think we pretty
much maxed that out, said Mr. Burton of
Northern Arizona, where 47 people took
the retirement offer in June 2010 in ex-
change for a years pay, but fewer than 15
did so this year, when the offer was slight-
ly less generous.
Ms. Lapovsky said those results, too,
made sense. You cant keep telling people
youre not going to pay them for two weeks.
It says were not planning, she noted. And
retirement incentives, she said, can back-
fre. Some institutions offered it and got
rid of more good faculty than they want-
ed.
With the stock market starting to recov-
er, fund raising remains a source of hope.
More than three-quarters of the CFOs said
their institutions did not expect to lower an-
nual-giving goals for 2012. That was even
true for four-year public colleges, which
are looking increasingly to philanthropy to
make up for the loss of state funds.
We made a strategic decision not to cut
advancement, reported Randall Powell, in-
terim vice president for fnance and opera-
tions at Sam Houston State University.
For most institutions, tuition increases
continue to be a go-to strategy. More than
two-thirds of the CFOs reported having
raised tuition and required fees by 3 percent
to 6 percent for the coming year. More than
21 percent said they had raised those charg-
es by 7 percent or more.
Fewer private-college CFOs reported in-
creasing their tuition at such high rates. About
63 percent said tuition increases at their in-
stitutions were 4 percent or less. Considering
that private-college CFOs were most worried
about the competition for students and cov-
ering their costs of fnancial aid, thats to be
expected. n

Online translation websites are making foreign
words and phrases less foreign. The Internets global
reach brings speakers of different languages together
with unprecedented ease while providing quick (though
sometimes inexact) ways to read their messages in
an unfamiliar language. Those struggling to remember
their high school Spanish can also renew their fuency
with numerous software packages, online courses, and
even social networking sitesa far cry from reciting verb
tenses from a chalkboard.
But is language acquisition in U.S. schools meeting
the demands of the linked-up multilingual world?
Although high school foreign-language study rose
during the last decade,
1
students in earlier grades
may be missing an opportunity to make speaking
a second language a lifelong skill. The Center for
Applied Linguistics reports that between 1997 and
2008, the percentage of secondary schools teaching
foreign languages remained static at nearly 91%, but
elementary-level instruction declined from 31% to 25%
of all schools, and middle school instruction dropped
from 75% to 58%.
2
High school graduates who do not continue foreign-
language studies through at least part of college risk
losing a valuable competency when they enter the job
market. American workers lack of foreign-language
skills refects a larger, troubling pattern: Recent research
indicates that the skill set of the current workforce
falls short of employers hiring needseven amid high
unemployment.
Language Profciency and the Workplace Skills Gap
Despite the recession, U.S. companies cannot fnd
enough workers with the high-level skills needed to
remain competitive. This skills gap harms more than
just businesses. According to the American Society
for Training & Development, communities of all sizes
suffer when critical positions in industry, government,
and social services go unflled.
3
Rising numbers of new
jobs will require skills that are only available through
baccalaureate or higher studies. The shift toward
knowledge-based job functions in the fastest-growing
careers will make postsecondary education an important
gateway for workers who seek stronger salaries and more
secure employment.
4
The University of Phoenix Research Institute has
studied workforce preparedness and its infuence on
organizations ability to hire qualifed staff. An earlier
inquiry into workers self-reports of skill profciencies
5
revealed several disparities between the skills employees
possess and those that employers consider vital.
Profciency in a non-English language was shown to be
one of these skills.
In a new University of Phoenix Research Institute
study, Current and Future Language Demands in the
Workplace: Profciencies and Gaps, Keri L. Heitner,
Ph.D., analyzed the needs of employers for multilingual
employees in various industries. The results suggest
that postsecondary education has a strong role to
play in keeping undergraduates from abandoning their
foreign-language studies after graduating high school.
The study reinforces the reality that language fuency
and cultural competency are becoming fundamental
skills to participate in global business, says Dr. Tracey
Wilen-Daugenti, Vice President and Managing Director
of the University of Phoenix Research Institute, who has
published seven books on international business.
Workers Not Eager to Learn Foreign Languages
Researchers reviewed survey data from 511 workers
and 419 employers from organizations in the education,
healthcare, manufacturing, corporate, and government/
public/nonproft sectors. Workers were asked about their
ability to conduct business in Arabic, Chinese, Russian,
English, and Spanish, as well as their plans to learn
these languages. Employers were asked about their
companies current and 10-year projected demand for
employees who could speak these languages.
Although the majority of workers reported high or
moderate English fuency, their command of the other
languages was poor. Across all industry sectors, fewer
than 10% of workers reported profciency in Arabic,
Chinese, Russian, or Spanish. Workers intent to learn
these languages was signifcantly lower than employers
anticipated demand in the next 10 years. More than
four ffths of the workers reported low likelihood to learn
Arabic, Chinese, or Russian, and almost three ffths
indicated little to no intent to learn Spanish.
Source: Heitner, K. L. (2011). Current and future language
demands in the workplace: Profciencies and gaps.
Phoenix, AZ: University of Phoenix Research Institute.
Employers responses revealed that industry sectors
had varying needs for specifc languages. Russian, for
instance, was in greatest immediate demand in the
corporate and manufacturing sectors, and was seen
as being important in the future to employers from the
corporate and healthcare sectors. Spanish was perceived
to be most vital to healthcare and education employers,
both now and in 10 years; Chinese was in highest
demand in the corporate and manufacturing industries,
and Arabic was most desired by corporate and education
employers.
Educated, skilled, and culturally aware employees
who have taken the time to become profcient in
a foreign language have a competitive edge in the
workforce, both domestically and globally, says Wilen-
Daugenti. These workers can help companies serve
diverse markets in the United States and expand their
global footprint overseas. To aid this process, managers
should make clear to workers the benefts that language
acquisition can have on the companys ability to compete
and grow. Improving access to training, whether on site
or at a local college, and offering fnancial incentives for
completion of coursework, can help generate interest in
starting or continuing language study.

Developing Earlier Foreign-Language Fluency
Higher education is helping to reverse the childhood
foreign language defcits of Americas future workforce.
The Modern Language Association (MLA) reported that
in 2009, undergraduate enrollments in non-English
language courses rose 6.6% since its 2006 survey,
reaching a new peak. Spanish, French, German, Italian,
and Japanese comprised the top-fve most studied
spoken languages, with Chinese in sixth and Arabic rising
two slots to eighthdoubling its share of enrollment.
6
The language-fuency gaps revealed in the University
of Phoenix Research Institute study present academic
leaders and heads of modern language departments
with an opportunity to reassess undergraduate language
requirements. The MLA notes that one goal of foreign
language education is translingual and transcultural
competence: Students are educated to function as
informed and capable interlocutors with educated native
speakers in the target language. They are also trained
to refect on the world and themselves through the
lens of another language and culture.
7
These skills
can aid businesses in forging stronger ties with foreign
companies and governments as they compete vigorously
for new opportunities abroad.
Earlier University of Phoenix Research Institute
fndings confrm that managers are encountering diffculty
in hiring workers with the sort of multicultural sensitivity
that truly comprehensive language studies can provide.
8
To broaden the intellectual and civic benefts of speaking
a second language, the MLA calls for raising the
language requirements for social science, law, medicine,
and engineering students. The MLA also urges university
language departments to ally with primary and secondary
educators to ensure earlier acquisition of languages.
The language defciency that is prevalent in the United
States cannot be solved at the college level alone,
cautions the MLA.
9
Foreign Languages: Essential, Not Elective
Representatives from businesses facing language-
skill gaps should join with education leaders and
policymakers to share concerns about workforce
readiness and the benefts of making language study
more central to younger students curricula. But language
acquisition can do more than boost a new graduates
career prospects, help workers adapt to workplace or
industry skill requirements, or strengthen the ability
of U.S. businesses to compete internationally. It can
inspire people to look beyond their borders and gain
new understanding of other countries art, culture, and
history. Tomorrows workers will beneft from an earlier
appreciation for multilingualism as an essential feature
of world citizenship and workforce contribution, says
Wilen-Daugenti.

Social-science researchers
are being asked to
safeguard privacy in
an era when grant makers
increasingly demand
that data be shared.
Cracking the Facebook Data
In 2008 a team of sociologists at Harvard
University released a groundbreaking data
set, culled from the Facebook profiles of
some 1,700 unnamed students in the Class
of 2009 at an unidentified Northeastern
college. Heres how Michael Zimmer, an
assistant professor in the School of
Information Studies at University of
Wisconsin at Milwaukee, showed that the
data werent anonymous after all.
The class size and geographic
region let Mr. Zimmer use the College
Boards online database to identify
seven possible universities: Tufts,
Suffolk, Yale, Quinnipiac, Brown,
Harvard, and the University of Hartford.
The data listed several
unusual majors, and Mr. Zimmer
says that of the seven universities, only
Harvard offered all of them. The telltale
combination included Near Eastern
languages and civilizations; studies of
women, gender, and sexuality; and
organismic and evolutionary biology.
The projects principal
investigator, Jason Kaufman, gave
away a final clue in a video
presentation. Midway through the
freshman year, he said, students pick
between one and seven best friends
whom they will basically live with during
their college careers. The description fit
the unique way that undergraduate
housing is arranged at Harvard. Case
closed, Mr. Zimmer says. (Mr. Kaufman
has never confirmed that the study was
situated at Harvard.)
should seek approval to study open publish-
ing platforms like blogs and Twitter.
Attitudes toward privacy are also evolving,
among both researchers and companies. Fred
Stutzman, a postdoctoral fellow at Carnegie
Mellon University who studies privacy in so-
cial networks, used to harvest Facebook data
that students made public on his university
network. He isnt sure hed do that today.
This is the nature of these systems, says
Mr. Stutzman, who has criticized the Library
of Congresss Twitter project. Maybe in
three years, well look at public tweets and
say, Oh, my God, those werent public. A lot
of people that are using Twitter nowadays
may actually want to go back and delete their
accounts or take those things out of the pub-
lic at a later date, and they no longer can.
Twitter recently alarmed researchers by
saying that collecting tweets and making
them openly available violates the terms of
service, a blow to academics who want to
share data.
Facebook, too, has taken a stricter ap-
proach to research as the company has ma-
tured and weathered several privacy contro-
versies. Cameron Marlow, its head of data
science and in-house sociologist, has built
up a small but tightly controlled program for
external research since joining Facebook, in
2007.
Asked about the Harvard sociologists
project, Mr. Marlow says things would be
different had it begun now: We would have
been much more involved with the research-
ers who are doing the data collection.
All work would be done on Facebook serv-
ers, for example. And releasing data? Unlike-
ly.
We tend to not release any data, for the
fact that its almost impossible to anonymize
social-network data, he says.
Wnn1s 1nr DnNcru?
Mr. Zimmer proved him right. Within days
of Harvards release from the data archive,
he zeroed in on the institution without even
downloading the proles. Most of what he
needed was in the archives code booka
lengthy document, at the time easily available
online (it has since been restricted), that de-
scribed in detail how the data set was collect-
ed and what it contains. The size of the class,
uniquely titled majors like organismic and
evolutionary biology, and Harvards particu-
lar housing system all clued Mr. Zimmer in
to the source of the Facebook information.
Mr. Kaufman, for his part, wont comment
on whether Harvard is, in fact, the source of
his data.
But assuming that Mr. Zimmer is correct,
why does it matter? Whats the danger?
One issue, Mr. Zimmer says, is that some-
one might be able to gure out individual
students identities. People with unique char- students identities. People with unique char students identities. People with unique char
acteristics could be discovered on the basis
of what the Harvard group published about
them. (For example, the original code book
lists just three students from Utah.) Their in-
formation could be absorbed by online ag-
gregators, like Pipl. A prospective employer
might Google a student and use the resulting
information to discriminate against him or
her, Mr. Zimmer says.
These bits and pieces of our personal
identities could potentially have reputational
harm, he says.
Hes right about how easy it is to identify
people who are presumably part of the data
set. By searching a Facebook group of Har- set. By searching a Facebook group of Har set. By searching a Facebook group of Har
vards Class of 2009, a Chronicle reporter
quickly tracked down one of those three Utah
students. Her name is Sarah M. Ashburn. The
24-year-old is in Haiti working for a founda-
tion that helps AIDS victims.
The Facebook-data controversy was news
to her. In a telephone interview, Ms. Ashburn
says her main qualm with the project is its
use of students who may have had privileged
access to data that was supposed to be shared
only with friends, or friends of friends. Be-
cause of that, she feels that the researchers
should have informed the class about their
project.
Still, she isnt concerned about the possi-
bility that her own data is out there.
Anything thats put on Facebook some-
how will make it out into the general public,
no matter what you attempt to do, she says.
So I never have anything on my Facebook
prole that I wouldnt want employers, my
grandmother, like anyone in the world to be
able to see.
Tnr Btccrs1 Vtc1tu
In their defense, the Harvard sociologists
stress that researchers outside their own
group had to apply for access to download
the data and agree not to share it or identify
people within it. Distribution was halted im-
mediately after privacy concerns were raised,
says Kevin Lewis, a Ph.D. candidate who is
part of the research team. By that time, he
says, fewer than 20 researchers had access.
Each presumably still has a copy.
After the initial release, the researchers took
additional steps to protect the students identi-
ties. For example, a revised code book substitut- ties. For example, a revised code book substitut ties. For example, a revised code book substitut
ed general regions, like mountain and Pacif- ed general regions, like mountain and Pacif ed general regions, like mountain and Pacif
ic, for students home states, and general major
categories, like humanities and life scienc-
es, for their academic backgrounds.
As for the criticism of Harvards institu-
tional review board, the university seems
to agree on the need for greater guidance.
A spokesman, Jeff A. Neal, notes that cur-
rent federal human-subjects regulations were
written well before the Internet age, and there
is still little published guidance for IRBs on
the implications of new and emerging tech-
nologies and potential risks. He adds, Fed-
eral regulators, professional associations, and
IRBs are all working to understand these
risks and to develop guidelines.
The biggest victim in this case may be
scholarship.
The controversy has tainted Harvards
data. And once a data set has been clearly
de-anonymized, it becomes a little bit like
kryptonite, says Mr. Halavais. People will
touch it, but youre putting your own ethical
stance at risk if you do.
There may never be another chance to
touch it. The Harvard sociologists are still us-
ing the data for their own research. But they
havent settled on a secure way of publicly
sharing it again.
Since the public release ceased, in 2008,
Mr. Lewis has received more than 200 re-
quests for the data from researchers. He still
gets one or two inquiries each week. N

Yet Mr. Aiken, like thousands of
his colleagues across the University
of Texas system, recently saw his pro-
fessional work boiled down to data
pointsnumber of classes and stu-
dents taught in the previous academic
year, grant money awarded, and aver-
age student-evaluation scores among
them. That information hardly refects
the full range of activities that profes-
sors like him engage in year-round.
But it is part of a vast data fle that
University of Texas offcials compiled
at the request of a task force on pro-
ductivity and excellence formed by the
systems Board of Regents this year.
The university made the data public in
early May, after repeated open-records
requests from news media.
Faculty productivity, or the lack
thereof, is a common concern raised
by politicians and others looking for
ineffciencies and waste in higher
education, especially when budgets
are tight. Lawmakers often go out
of their way to contrast the everyday
employee who works 9 to 5 or lon-
ger at the offce, or who pulls extra
shifts doing manual labor, with the
stereotypes of the elitist academic
who teaches one or two hourlong
courses a few times a week, takes
summers off, and travels to far-fung
places in the name of research.
Even within higher education,
a professors workload is seen by
some as a source of bloat. When
colleges chief fnancial offcers re-
cently surveyed by The Chronicle
were asked what single strategy they
would adopt to cut costs or increase
revenue if they didnt have to wor-
ry about any repercussions, increas-
ing teaching loads topped the list.
Close to two in fve of respondents
favored such a move, which ranked
well above strategies like increasing
tuition, eliminating tenure, and hir-
ing more adjunct faculty.
As politicians in Texas and else-
where continue to question what pro-
fessors do with their time, faculty
members and researchers are chafng
at the measures being used to deter-
mine just who is ineffcient, unpro-
ductive, or undeserving of their sal-
aries. So far, observers say, the data
being used to make those judgments
routinely fail to count faculty work
that supports university missions, cre-
ates breakthroughs in scholarly disci-
plines, or ensures student success.
They have no idea what theyre
doing, Mr. Aiken, who recent-
ly turned 70, says of lawmakers.
Theyre just throwing numbers
around, and they dont care about
the consequences.

public, faculty productivity is of-
ten shorthand for counting up how
many classes and students professors
teach. Politicians and taxpayers who
clamor for colleges to cut costs see
requiring professors to teach more
as one of the easiest ways to save
money and, subsequently, stave off
further increases in tuition. Colleg-
es, these critics say, would be better
off if they de-emphasized research
and focused more on teaching, par-
ticularly undergraduates.
But many academic research-
ers say the focus on how much time
faculty members spend in the class-
room ignores what they produce at
work. Such a narrow view of faculty
life is damaging to the reputations of
professors and their institutions, says
Vicki J. Rosser, an associate profes-
sor of higher education at the Uni-
versity of Nevada at Las Vegas.
I dont think that higher educa-
tion does a good job communicating
what we do and what we produce,
says Ms. Rosser, an author of a jour-
nal paper on workload issues and
faculty-productivity measures.
To be sure, there are professors on
every campus who have earned the
deadwood label, she says. They
lecture from yellowed notes, havent
published new research in years, and
dont reach out to undergraduates or
junior faculty members. When such
slackers surface in higher education,
people love to generalize that ev-
erybodys like that, says Ms. Ross-
er. But thats not the case. Faculty
members, in general, are highly mo-
tivated people.
Many of them work 60-hour
weeks, she notes, to complete the
tasks that go along with being a pro-
fessor.
One example of a measure rarely
mentioned in discussions about fac-
ulty productivity is the hours that
many professors spend directing the
dissertations of doctoral students. In
late May, Ms. Rosser spoke of the
work she had recently done editing,
conceptualizing, and rereading the
dissertation proposals of the six doc-
toral students she supervises.
I cant even begin to tell you
the hours Ive spent in the last few
weeks trying to get their proposals
ready by the end of June, she says.
I can assure you that I put in more
than three credit-hours worth of
work. Thats a perfect example of a
measure that youll never see any-
where.
Experts and professors in general
say they dont mind the measuring of
faculty work. What theyre against is
leaving so much of what they do out
of the equation. They are concerned
about data elements that are incor-
rect, misleading, and not complete
enough to allow outsiders to get an
accurate picture of how professors
use their time inside and outside of
the classroom.
Indeed, few productivity reports
issued by lawmakers or higher-ed-
ucation watchdog groups acknowl-
edge ancillary activities such as
advising students, serving on com-
mittees, writing grants, and mentor-
ing students and junior faculty, Ms.
Rosser says. And outcomes such as
career-placement records and pass
rates on certifcation examsboth
of which depend on faculty work for
successare rarely counted, either,
experts say.
When they release these reports,
they just dont talk about the other
things that faculty do, Ms. Rosser
says.
At least one national study of fac-
ulty productivity and instructional
costs does get at such factors. The
National Study of Instructional
Costs & Productivity, also known as
the Delaware Studya national da-
tabase that more than 500 colleges
use to gauge the cost of instruction
and productivity by departmentin-
cludes data on out-of-classroom ac-
tivity.
Professors at participating institu-
tions in the Delaware Study count up
how many courses they have created,
books or manuscripts they have re-
viewed, and positions they have held
in professional organizations, among
other things. The data, reported in
aggregate form, are used to compare
similar departments at different in-
stitutions. But there appears to be no
widespread movement to collect that
sort of information.
The cynical view that faculty
members have is that the legisla-
tors and senior administrators have

all gone to the same seminar, and
theyre all using the same vernacular
and the same arguments and going
from state to state with this, Ms.
Rosser says.
Efforts to get to the bottom of
what professors do or dont do have
been prominent in Texas. Before the
University of Texas recent release
of faculty data drew backlash from
professors and college presidents,
Texas A&M University released its
own way of measuring productivity.
Faculty members across the coun-
try derided the method as simplis-
tic and misleading. Last fall, Texas
A&M issued a report that detailed
how much revenue each of its pro-
fessors generated by teaching, a fg-
ure that came from adding up the
amount of tuition paid by the num-
ber of students in each class. Each
professors salary and benefts were
subtracted from that amount to ar-
rive at whether that faculty member
brought in more money than it cost
for the university to employ him or
her. (The university systems report
also showed how much faculty mem-
bers generated in research grants,
but those fgures were not factored
into the bottom-line totals.)
In Oregon, state offcials released
an audit in early May about how pro-
fessors at the University of Oregon
spend their time. The audit revealed
how many classes professors taught
and how much time they spent do-
ing research. It also gave a system-
wide breakdown of who was provid-
ing instruction to studentstenured
professors, nontenure-track employ-
ees, or graduate assistants. Without
that information, state offcials said,
it would be diffcult to determine if
faculty members could be more ef-
fcient.
University offcials say the audit
helps show how the system spends
less per student and less per degree
awarded than most other public uni-
versities do.
Not Enough Teaching
Advocates of doing more to mea-
sure what faculty do on a daily basis
say such data are crucial for making
sure that colleges are effectively us-
ing public dollars. Teaching has be-
come too low a priority on too many
campuses, they argue, and students
are suffering because of it.
Over the last several decades,
the pendulum has swung from pre-
dominantly teaching to predomi-
nantly research, and the quality of
Texas graduates has been adversely
affected, says David Guenthner, a
spokesman for the Texas Public Pol-
icy Foundation, a conservative think
tank in Austin. What we need to do
is make sure that we are maximizing
our taxpayer and tuition resources so
we get the best in teaching and re-
search. We want Texas to show the
way for the rest of the country in
how to improve the quality and low-
er the cost of higher education.
If professors taught more classes,
Mr. Guenthner says, colleges could
add more class sections and gradu-
ate more students in four years, all
while lowering tuition.
Criticism of efforts to measure fac-
ulty productivity data is to be expect-
ed, he says: The people who have a
vested interest in the way things are
naturally are going to get nervous
about things that could change.
Rick ODonnell, a former special
adviser to Board of Regents of the
University of Texas who had accused
system offcials of suppressing facul-
ty-productivity data, says professors
who think the data fall short need to
come up with an alternative.
Its great for them to sit there
and play the critic, Mr. ODonnell
says. Why dont they come up with

briefed teaching assistant for 30

3:30 p.m. Checked e-mail, dur-
ing which she made appointments
to conduct mock interviews with
a way to properly analyze the data?
It sounds to me like they just want
to throw rocks and criticize anyone
who raises questions.
In an opinion piece published in
the Austin American-Statesman,
Richard Vedder, a professor of eco-
nomics at Ohio University, talked
of how faculty costs would drop if
more professors simply taught more.
He analyzed teaching-load data from
the University of Texas at Austin and
found that only one-ffth of its profes-
sors taught the bulk of the students.
Professors dont have the same
discipline as other professionals,
and the slack is a major reason why
faculty costs are so high, Mr. Ved-
der wrote.
But such a one-size-fts-all ap-
proach to changing faculty work-
loads would be unwise, says Michael
Middaugh, who recently retired as
associate provost for institutional ef-
fectiveness at the University of Dela-
ware and served as director of the
Delaware Study.
You really need to look at the
institutions mission and what its
required to do as part of that mis-

Understanding Faculty Productiv-
ity: Standards and Benchmarks for
Colleges and Universities (Jossey-
Bass, 2001). Pushing professors at
research universities to trade their
research time in order to teach more,
for example, doesnt acknowledge a

teaching university and a research-

Realistic Teaching Loads

sity of Texas do give a nod to the
role that research plays in the lives
of some faculty members, by listing
the amount of grant money awarded
in the 2009-10 academic year. But
lawmakers tend to focus on teach-

Fred Curchack
Professor of art and perfor-
mance, U. of Texas at Dallas
What the universitys num-
bers show (2009-10 academic
year):
Total sections taught: 9
Total class enrollment: 77
(39 undergraduates,
38 graduate students)
Research grants: $0
Annual salary: $84,150
What the numbers dont
show:
Grading: Mr. Curchack taught
Essential Plays and Elements
of Art and Performance in the
spring term. For their fnal proj-
ects, many students turned in
original works, such as a screen-
play, movie, or a performance
of visual works of art, and then
wrote papers about their creative
process. Other students opted
to write a scholarly paper10
pages for undergraduates and
20 pages for graduate students.
Mr. Curchack, who taught 23
undergraduates and 13 graduate
data will undermine efforts to gain
a higher national research profle.
The university, just over four de-
cades old, began as a regionally ori-
ented research institution but has
gained prominence in some felds,
particularly for its research on space
science,behavioral and brain scienc-
es, and cybersecurity.
Mr. Aiken, the geosciences pro-
fessor at Dallas, says it angers him to
listen to lawmakers babble on about,
Why dont they teach 10 courses a
year? To him its clear that a teach-
ing load of that size would jeopardize
the universitys research reputation
and make securing external money
for research nearly impossible.
His own schedule often includes
time to uncover new sources of money,
including government agencies, com-
panies, and anywhere else I can fnd
it, he says. His research grants support
the four doctoral students, two masters
students, and two undergraduate stu-
dents who work in his lab. Writing
proposals, generating funding, thats
what I do, the professor says.
Another workload wrinkle that is
diffcult to factor into performance
measures is the amount of time pro-
fessors spend interacting with stu-
dents, particularly by e-mail. Alex-
ander Braun, an associate professor
of geosciences at Dallas, recently
taught an online course of 200 stu-
dents, who would e-mail him ques-
tions at all times of day and night.
I had about 600 e-mails over this
term, he says. For them its much
easier than approaching a professor
and talking to them after class.
Of the 600 e-mails, Mr. Braun
says, only two were related to the
material presented in his class,
Earthquakes and Volcanoes. The
others contained questions about
future quizzes and tests and about
grades that students had received.
Mr. Braun responded to them all.
There are many more than three
hours involved in teaching three
hours, the professor says.
The university systems data on
Mr. Braun, who started work half-
way through the academic year that
is measured by the numbers, shows
that he teaches four graduate stu-
dents. What the data dont count is
the number of hours he spends out-
side of the classroom guiding the re-
search of graduate students.
Mr. Braun, who is beginning
his second year at Dallas, says he
doesnt put much value on strict
schedules or tracking of time. Being
accessible to students, even if those
hours dont count as he and other
professors think they should, is what
he says matters.
My door is always open, which
can be distracting, Mr. Braun says.
But I see that as my job.

By Andrea Fuller
F
or-proft colleges, which
are facing scrutiny in Con-
gressional hearings and inves-
tigations by attorneys general, may
confront yet another challenge in the
end of the year-round Pell Grant pro-
gram. Students at proprietary insti-
tutions have been the heaviest users
of the recently scrapped program,
according to a Chronicle analysis
of data from the U.S. Department of
Education.
Starting July 1, students can no
longer take out a second Pell Grant
to help pay for summer classes.
Congress eliminated the two-year-
old program in its April budget deal
to help close a $20-billion shortfall
in the Pell program.
For-profts received almost 37
percent of the $1.6-billion dis-
bursed for second Pell Grants in
2009-10.
Nine of the 10 institutions receiving
the most aid in second Pell grants were
for-proft colleges, with the University
of Phoenix taking in the most money,
at $74.8-million. For-proft institutions
also were the most dependent on sec-
ond Pell grants as a portion of their to-
tal Pell dollars, comprising six of the
top 10 on that list.
Brian Moran, acting president of the
Association of Private Sector Colleges
and Universities, said the end of the
year-round Pell Grant will have a dis-
proportionate impact on our students.
Accelerated programs are what
students are demanding right now,
he added.
Congress created the year-round Pell
Grant program in the 2008 reauthori-
zation of the Higher Education Act
as a way to help students who wanted
to earn degrees faster. But President
Obama and Congress said that the
grants failed to make a meaningful im-
pact on students academic progress.
Summer enrollment increased by
only 1 percent in the frst year of the
new program, according to the Edu-
cation Department. And the admin-
istration determined that keeping the
maximum Pell award at $5,550 was
a bigger priority.
Significant Share
In the aggregate, students are not
particularly dependent on the sec-
ond grant. Colleges included in The
Chronicles analysis received a median
of $195,570 in funds for the program,
with 3.5 percent of their Pell dollars
coming from the second grants.
But the grants make up a signif-
cant share of some colleges Pell dol-
lars. The largest branch of Vatterott
College, a for-proft institution, re-
ceived $8.6-million from the year-
round Pell program, nearly 22 per-
cent of its total Pell dollars. Aaron
Lacey, the colleges vice president for
regulatory affairs and strategic devel-
opment, said the institution does not
design its programming with a sum-
mer break. He said the college has
informed all of its students about the
end of the program.
Many of them were upset, he
said.
Mr. Lacey said the college would
help students who are losing the mon-
ey to develop payment plans if they
do not already have them. He said the
number of students who decided to
drop out because of the change was
probably small, but the move could af-
fect the decisions of students who may
have considered enrolling.
Marc Jerome, executive vice presi-
dent at Monroe College, said roughly
70 percent to 80 percent of the for-
proft colleges students take advan-
tage of the summer semester, because
most urban or nontraditional students
dont want a couple months off. Mon-
roe received $9.4-million in second
Pell Grants, almost 24 percent of its
total Pell volume.
The summer session is criti-
cal for retention purposes, Mr. Je-
rome said, and the college plans
to provide more institutional aid
to students who will be losing the
grants.
Though most of the colleges af-
fected by the end of the grant pro-
gram are for-proft institutions, tradi-
tional colleges are not immune. The
University of Florida was the lone
four-year public institution among
the 10 that took in the most money
from second Pell Grants. Florida stu-
dents received $9.8-million, just over
20 percent of the institutions $48.4-
million in Pell grants.
Zina L. Evans, the universitys
vice president for enrollment man-
agement and associate provost, said
its summer program is quite popu-
larroughly 16,000 undergraduates
attend.
She said the university focuses on
providing access to low-income stu-
dents, and makes them aware of aid
options for the summer.
Students attending the frst sum-
mer session, which began in May,
received roughly $4-million in Pell
grants, but students for the second
session will be ineligible; the univer-
sity will have to provide institutional
aid to help them.
Were really sitting down right
now and trying to look at what are
our options, she said. We may
have to award more loans for stu-
dents who are interested in the sum-
mer because the Pell option will not
be there.

C
olleges have stumbled into
an age of accountability. The
government and the public
are ever more interested in holding
them responsible: for what students
learn when theyre on campus, for
how many of them leave with a de-
gree, and for the debt and job pros-
pects they face when its over.
The U.S. Department of Educa-
tion released its latest batch of con-
sumer information in late June, a
set of lists of colleges in each sector
with especially high or low prices or
large price increases.
Some of the fndings were ex-
pected: Sarah Lawrence College,
with the highest published tuition
and fees among private, nonprof-
it four-year institutions in 2009-10,
has already received more than its
fair share of ink for that dubious
designation. Pennsylvania (home
to almost two dozen of the public
four-year colleges with the highest
tuition and fees) has long asked in-
state students to shoulder more costs
than other states do. And California
State Universitys deep state budget
cuts and accompanying tuition hikes
have played out vividly in both pub-
lic protests and newspaper pages.
Other fndings are less intuitive:
Among private, nonproft four-years,
Bible colleges and other institutions
with strong religious connections ac-
count for a substantial portion of those
with the largest percentage increases in
net price, or total cost of attendance mi-
nus all federal, state, and institutional
grant aid. The same types of colleges
also make up a sizable portion of the
list of those with the lowest net prices (a
few actually make both lists). And art
colleges have some of the highest net
prices, but not big increases.
What to make of it all?
We hope this information will en-
courage schools to continue their ef-
forts to make the costs of college more
transparent so students make informed
decisions and arent saddled with un-
manageable debt, Arne Duncan, the
U.S. secretary of education, said in
a statement upon releasing the lists,
which the department is required to
create and post on its College Naviga-
tor Web site by the Higher Education
Opportunity Act of 2008.
They are, he said, a useful new
tool.
But some experts see limitations in
how much the lists will help consum-
ers or change colleges behavior. Data
elements related to colleges are just
notoriously hard to judge, said Da-
vid Hawkins, director of public policy
and research at the National Associa-
tion for College Admission Counsel-
ing. Congress wanted the lists to give
consumers clear information on costs,
he said, but whether theyre going to
be everything Congress thought they
would beIm skeptical.
For one thing, the data look at dif-
ferent years for different variables
because only published tuition and
fees (and not aid fgures) were avail-
able for 2009-10. In terms of net
price, they look only at frst-time,
full-time freshmen who received
grant or scholarship aid. Students
paying full price or receiving only
federal loans as aid arent captured.
Also, in an effort to compare only
like colleges, the department creat-
ed 54 different listscomprising six
variables (such as net price) and nine
sectors of higher education.
Its admittedly a lot to follow. This
defnition of net price is far from per-
fect, said Sean P. (Jack) Buckley,
commissioner of the National Center
for Education Statistics. But again, it
was spelled out in the law.
Colleges, he said, are always ask-
ing for measures that take aid into ac-
count, and the lists refect that. Those
that have the largest increases in net
price or tuition and fees will have to
submit a report to the department ex-
plaining the parts of their budgets
with the largest cost increases and of-
fering a plan to contain those costs.
Putting Pressure on Colleges
It could have been far worse for
colleges. Rep. Howard P. (Buck)
McKeon, a Republican of Califor-
nia, has long championed the idea
of holding colleges responsible for
their costs. Back in 2005, when Mr.
McKeon was chairman of the House
of Representatives higher-education
subcommittee, and his party was
leading efforts to draft legislation
to renew the Higher Education Act,
he suggested that the government
withhold federal fnancial aid from
colleges that had consistently large

Colleges Should Cultivate Leaders Within Their Own Ranks
The Chronicle of Higher Education | J uly 15, 2011 A29
COMMENTARY
A
mong the greatest strengths of the American higher-
education system are its openness to outsiders and
its relative lack of nepotism and cronyism. American
colleges hire faculty members and administrators
from other institutions often and to good effect.
But too much of a good thing can be bad: In recent
times, many colleges have relied excessively on hiring external
candidates to lead their institutions rather than adequately grooming
internal candidates for leadership positions.
American colleges lack stable leadership. Not only are most
presidents hired from outside, but they stay on the job for increasingly
brief periods, and the chief academic offcers serving under them
have even shorter tenures, as recent studies by the American Council
on Education have revealed. Access to academic-leadership positions
has become a game of musical chairs, in which the
same executives rotate from institution to institution,
for shorter and shorter stays, at ever-greater rates of
compensation. Some have such brief tenures that they
barely accomplish anything at all. Yet they receive
large salaries and abundant perks, which have expand-
ed in recent years to create an executive-compensation
bubble.
The well-paid and short-lived external-executive mod-
el works against the long-term interests of the institutions
themselves, and instead favors two groups: the adminis-
trators involved and the search frms that help them get
hired. Jumping from college to college in rapid succes-
sion usually results in signifcant increases in compensa-
tion for the candidates, while also helping them to avoid
the accumulation of adversaries that would be inevitable
with longer stays. Search frms, meanwhile, garner
profts by constantly putting forth outside candidates. To
keep the churn going, search frms, unsurprisingly, tend
to disfavor internal candidates.
The system is unhealthy because it fosters superfcial
improvements. Quality cannot be created overnight,
but the trappings of quality can, so transient executives
actively pursue them by undertaking projects that offer
quick, visible outcomes that are good for helping the
executives land their next jobs, rather than for building
quality from the ground up.
The pressure to show change may be one reason why
presidents replace their chief academic offcers more
often than in the past: Replacing subordinates is a way
to create the appearance of progress. Another way to
create the illusion of progress is for presidents to en-
gage in public-relations campaigns, in order to improve
the images of their institutions and elevate their rankings.
The short-term focus in academe today refects a mind-set similar
to the one troubling corporate America. In both cases, the transient-
leadership model has come with an executive-compensation bubble,
as the number of itinerant executives is limited, and universities and
companies compete for that small number while leaving untapped
their reservoirs of internal leadership. A common justifcation for hir-
ing highly paid executives is that they will help the institution obtain
more dollars and thus more prestige. Its a vicious circle: Money
begets prestige, and prestige begets money. But the pursuit of prestige
for its own sake is a dead end, since prestige alone cannot elevate the
spirit of the university or strengthen its mission.
We must go back to basics when it comes to academic leadership,
and that means universities must stop importing excessive numbers of
leaders and begin to produce more of their own by developing the ad-
ministrative abilities of the faculty. Cultivating the leadership poten-
tial of all faculty members would pay dividends by allowing colleges
to identify those who, with appropriate encouragement and coaching,
could serve as high-level administrators. Further, all faculty engaged
in administrative activitiesas principal administrators of grants,
directors of programs, and chairs or members of committeescould
proft from relevant training.
Succession-planning experts advocate dual-career ladders, allow-
ing people to move back and forth between faculty and administrative
positions. Yet there is very little back-and-forth movement of this kind
in academe. Administration has become a one-way track from which
one cannot take a break; a nonstop race with no opportunity for intel-
lectual renewal. That is a fatal shortcoming of the
present system, in which the same executives al-
ways occupy the top positionsthey simply move
from institution to institution without ever stepping
down from the merry-go-round. The result is intellectual poverty.
Some universities offer administrative training to their employees,
including relevant courses, personal-development plans, and coach-
ing. Those activities, however, tend to be addressed more to the
staff than to the faculty, whose administrative talents often remain
untapped. That could be remedied by offering budget and personnel
workshops for assistant professors, systematic exposure to important
committees for associate professors, and administrative internships
for full professors, in addition to intensive training for department
chairs.
While we certainly want to maintain the ability to hire external
administrators, we cannot continue to overlook internal talent. And
we certainly cannot continue to focus on short-term results while
many emerging economies around the world are devising ambitious
long-term strategies for their institutions of higher learning.
Transient administrators are fond of composing ambitious-looking
plans flled with glossy color photos to impress potential employers in
their perpetual search for high-level positions. But transient adminis-
trators cannot engage in real planning, which requires time, com-
mitment, and a level of thoughtfulness that their agitated lifestyles
simply do not allow. This is why we must build a model of sustainable
academic leadershipthe sooner the better.

Not only are most college presidents hired from the outside, they stay on the job
for increasingly brief periods. American colleges need more-stable leadership.

Commentary
I
ts early morning, and a vanload of students
from Peoria, Ill., is on the expressway, en route to a
Caterpillar factory. This is not surprising, consid-
ering that Caterpillar is headquartered in Peoria.
Except that this Cat factory is in Tianjin, a Chinese
city near Beijing, and these are community-college
students, most of whom have seldom been out of Illinois, let
alone the United States.
Too many community colleges, especially in old indus-
trial areas like Peoria, are content to train their students for
specifc jobs. But what these Peoria students are getting is an
education in the global economy, which
is where theyll spend their lives. Most
will stay close to home after graduation,
so what they learn in Tianjin benefts
Peoria and its economy, too.
Its not exactly a new idea: Most major universities and
business schools stress globalization and train their elite
students to command that future.
But this is different. The community college, Illinois Cen-
tral College, is in East Peoria, above the Illinois River. Most
ICC students come from the Peoria area and intend to stay
there. Some will go on for a bachelors or masters degree,
at Bradley University or the University of Illinois. Others,
through choice or force of fnances, will take their two-year
associate degree and go to work for a local company.
That is, these are non-elite students at a non-elite college
from a Midwestern city whose name is nearly a synonym for
ordinariness, an old industrial town that, like so many others,
is struggling to survive in the global era.
If Peoria is going to make it in this new economy, it needs
leadership both from high-powered M.B.A.s and from people
like these ICC students, local kids who are getting on-the-
ground education in globalization and will use that education
at all levels in the companies that hire them.
I was invited to see this program in action; what I actu-
ally saw were lives changing. On our frst night in Beijing,
I walked with two students to the Forbidden City. As we
strolled along the walls beneath the swirling towers, one stu-
dent, from a town about 500,000 times smaller than Beijing,
said in awe, I never dreamed Id ever be here.
That young mans life will never be the same, and Peoria
knows the value of this. To cope globally, the town is focus-
ing on high-level manufacturing, exporting, and logistics. It
knows it needs all the assets it can get, and sees the commu-
nity college as one of them.
Three years ago, when I was writing a book on globaliza-
tion and the Midwest, I went to Peoria and was urged to go
to Illinois Central College. I visited the president, John S.
Erwin, and found him jet-lagged after a
trip to China.
What was a Peoria community-college
president doing in China? Mr. Erwin
explained that Caterpillar had contracted
with the college to set up training courses for the companys
dealers and distributors, frst in the United States and then
overseas. That led to a permanent relationship with two
Chinese colleges, in Shenzhen and Xiamen, that use the ICC
course to train Chinese distributors.
This led in turn to an exchange program, now in its ffth
year, in which ICC students, enrolled in the colleges inter-
national-business program, spend three months in China,
mostly at Shenzhen Polytechnic, a large three-year school in
Shenzhen, a boomtown next door to Hong Kong.
About fve to 10 ICC students are chosen competitively for
the program: Our group had seven studentsfour men and
three women. The students live in college dorms and study
in classes, taught in both English and Chinese, with students
from other countries, including Russiaanother personal
window onto the wider world.
After a quick orientation in Shenzhen, the students spent a
fast week traveling to cities like Beijing, Tianjin, and Fuzhou.
Some of this, including a visit to the Great Wall, was tourism.
But most was business-related.
We visited the Caterpillar Electric Power Division plant
in the free-trade zone at Tianjin and spent another day in the
textile center of Changle at Fujian Jinjiang Technology Com-
pany, a highly automated mill spinning polymer pellets into
different grades of nylon thread, mostly for sportswear. The
company calls itself young but full of ambitiona good
description of post-Mao China itself. Its workers, mostly peas-
ants whove migrated to Changle solely to earn money, work
seven-day weeks, live in housing on the factory grounds, and
send most of their earnings to families back home.
In the evening, Wu Daobin, its chief executive, hosted a
Chinese feast with dozens of dishes and endless rounds of
baijiu, the potent Chinese liquorhard on the liver but, for
the students, another lesson in how modern China mixes
business with pleasure.
The students were grabbing the Chinese experience with
both hands. On the bus, instead of playing computer games
on iPhones, they whipped out pens and notebooks and
practiced their Chinese calligraphy or quizzed each other on
vocabulary. Then it was back to Shenzhen for three months of
study and interning, most recently in a local offce of Bosch,
the German conglomerate, which had bought a sprinkler
company owned by a former mayor of Peoria.
The leader of the students was Matt Fuller, a young Peoria
man who was in the frst ICC class to go to Shenzhen. He
now is fuent in Mandarin, is about to get his masters degree,
and talks about working full time in China.
Most of these young people are the frst in their families
to go to college, and few have had the chance to travel. Now
Illinois Central College has thrown them into the eye of the
global economy, teaching them that they have to be smart
and worldly and multilingual. This is my idea of a global
educationfor the students and for Peoria. Not all cities will
know how to gain access to that global economy, but a good
start would be to ensure that their community colleges, like
Illinois Central, are preparing students to compete in it.

Academic Survey Centers
Face Challenges
To the Editor:
With retrenchment in American
higher education, academic survey
centers face real challenges. Several
have closed in recent years, including
a venerable survey center at the Uni-
versity of California at Berkeley.
Currently more than 100 survey re-
search centers, laboratories, and insti-
tutes are housed within major universi-
ties in the United States. Some date to
the post-World War II era, when quan-
titative social research began its ascen-
dance. They proliferated during the
1980s, enabled by desktop computers
and telephone-survey methodologies.
These centers are almost uniquely
American; few exist in other coun-
tries. They form the backbone of aca-
demic social-science data collection in
our nation. In fact, the former director
of one of these centers, Robert Groves,
now directs the U.S. Census Bureau.
The rise of Internet survey-data col-
lection has led some administrators
to perceive a decreasing demand for
highly trained survey methodologists
and applied-research centers. These
centers also face increased competi-
tion from large, for-proft survey ven-
dors who can offer dramatic econo-
mies of scale and who have commod-
itized certain types of social-science
data collection.
On some campuses, competition for
indirect cost recoveries may discour-
age faculty members from collaborat-
ing with their own research centers.
Newer, multimode survey methods
combining Internet, phone, and/or
postal modes of sampling and data
collection pose organizational chal-
lenges for units that were built around
more traditional methods.
Academic survey centers are ad-
dressing the new challenges through
the Association of Academic Survey
Research Organizations, formed in
2008 to promote excellence and integ-
rity in survey research.
A recent association membership
survey found that member research
centers collectively exceeded $100-mil-
lion in operating budgets in 2010. Of
this, 95 percent was research funding.
In the past fscal year alone, sur-
vey centers belonging to the associa-
tion conducted almost 2,300 research
projects, collected more than 2.2 mil-
lion completed questionnaires using
telephone, face-to-face, mail, and Web
survey methodologies, and employed
about 5,300 individuals.
Academic survey centers continue
to evolve, and many thrive. They have
reorganized themselves to handle mul-
tiple data-collection modes; they em-
ploy qualitative methodologies in sup-
port of their quantitative work; and
they are remarkably adept at design-
ing and executing highly customized
research protocols.
They support the research needs of
diverse sectors, including state and
local governments and not-for-proft
and private organizations. Survey cen-
ters contribute to the service mission
of their universities by undertaking
applied research for nonuniversity cli-
ents. They are asked to do so because
of their superior research integrity,
neutrality, and credibility.
Survey centers also have expanded
their educational and training roles.
They serve as incubators for research
innovation and interdisciplinary col-
laboration. Recent years have seen the
emergence of certifcate and degree-
granting academic programs in survey
methods, with survey research centers
serving as active partners or leaders.
Academic departments are often
ill-equipped to prepare high-quality
scientifc research proposals, and they
rely on survey centers for support. Sur-
vey-center staff members understand
the increasingly complex regulatory
environment throughout our country.
At many schools, academic survey-
center staff members serve on or chair
Institutional Review Boards.
Academic survey centers must be
nimble and adaptable to address the
demands of their new economic and
competitive environments. Their fu-
ture nonetheless appears bright, given
the burgeoning demand for high-qual-
ity, survey-based information and the
unique resources these centers offer to
their communities, campuses, and our
national research infrastructure.

ADVICE
T
V`ZVadd`at the poster advertising a summer camp
at top right. It was designed by the computer depart-
ment of an American university. (Im hiding the name
to protect the innocent.) Do you think this poster
communicates how much fun the camp will be? Does
it convey the excitement of creating animated movies,
designing virtual worlds? Look at the main message at the top. Do you
think that kids in middle school are that worried about preparing for
the future? Especially during summer vacation? Will the poster grab
the attention of its intended audience, or even their parents?
The answer to all of those questions? Unlikely. Yet posters like
this are created every day at colleges across the country. The pro-
grams, classes, or special lectures they announce are often fascinating,
but who would know that? Summer outreach programs, like the tech
camp in the poster, usually involve months of hard
work to organize. Yet the same level of detail is not
reected in the marketing. Can you imagine Apple
introducing a new iPad, or Nike launching a new
shoe design, with an ad like this? Apple and Nike
know that to get people excited about a product or
program, they must rst understand how to capture
the target audiences attention and pique its curiosity.
That need is acute in science-pipeline recruit-
ment at the K-12 and college levels. In particular, the
often-misunderstood feld of computer science is a
good example of a group in need of a good public-relations campaign.
For at least a couple of decades, colleges have made signicant efforts
to increase the number of students majoring in computer science and
to broaden participation in the eld by attracting more women and
minorities. Yet compared with a decade ago, enrollments in computer
science have dropped more than 40 percent. And far fewer women
than men pursue computer-science degrees.
That is not simply disappointing. It has serious implications for U.S.
national and economic security. While the impact on Americas com-
puter industry may be obvious, the dearth of computer professionals
has alarming consequences for all elds of science, technology, and in-
dustry that rely on computer technologiesand name one that doesnt.
But what does a poster have to do with all this? A lot, actually. Im-
age is important. As long as teenagers believe that computer science
is boring, difcult, and antisocial, they wont choose it as a career. But
existing stereotypes can be challenged by changing the emphasisby
introducing computer professionals as the lively, interesting people
that most of them are, by demonstrating that computer science is an
exciting eld that has a major impact on just about every aspect of
human life, and by communicating all of that to young people using
language and images that resonate with them.
WGBH, in Boston, and the Association for Computing Machinery,
with support from the National Science Foundation, recently joined
forces to transform the image of computing among one of the most
underrepresented demographic groups in computer science: young
women. Working with marketing professionals, the New Image for
Computing team is creating a set of messages to resonate with teenage
girls and to portray computing in a positive way. Those messages, and
the resources and Web site developed around them (see www.dotdiva.
org), will be available for use by any group or institution interested in
encouraging collegebound high-school girls to consider computer sci-
ence as an undergraduate major and career choice.
The concept: The program was conceived as a mini Be All You
Can Be campaign for computer science. That iconic message helped
remake the U.S. Army in 1979 and for the next 20 yearsan unheard
of lifespan for an advertising slogan. Be All You Can Be succeeded
in attracting new recruits, including some top high-school graduates.
Instead of centering on the Army as the previous messaging cam-
paign had (This Is the Army), Be All You Can Be appealed to its
audiences dreams and aspirations. Dropouts and degree holders alike,
it turned out, wanted to be all they could be.
Clearly, no college has the advertising budget of the U.S. Army.
But imagine if all stakeholdersincluding college groups, corporate
human-resource departments, professional membership organizations,
high-school teachers, guidance counselors, computing profession-
alsbanded together to change the conversation about computing. To
de-emphasize the geek factor. To demystify the feld. To stress the ap-
plications of computing rather than the need for algorithmic logic. The
resulting effort might be more powerful than any advertising campaign.
The process: Finding the right messages for New Image for Comput- Finding the right messages for New Image for Comput Finding the right messages for New Image for Comput
ing meant conducting some deep research on collegebound high-school
girls. Working with two professional marketing rms from New York,
the group created a national online survey. One thousand girls responded.
The questions were wide-ranging: What careers interested them?
What elements of a career were most important? What existing
opinions did they have of computer science? The researchers also held
several in-person focus groups to ask the girls questions and learn more
about their behaviors and interests: What do they read? What do they
watch on television? What Web sites do they visit? What electives do
they take? What worries them most? Who are their role models?
From the outset, the researchers ran into challenges that forced them
to reconsider what they thought they knew about their target audience.
Even in selecting an ofcial title for the initiative, the
New Image for Computing team got it wrong. Using its
initial research, the team had winnowed the title ideas
down to three: Break Code, Dot Diva, and Hit Start.
Everybody on the team loved Break Code, especially
the more than two dozen computing professionals who
served as advisers to the project.
Which title did the girls like? Dot Diva, of course. To
them, the word diva was neither negative nor frivo-
lousrather, it suggested maturity and sophistication,
a good thing among aspirational young women. They
thought it connected technology with fashionable things, and they felt that
the idea of a computer diva was cool. There was also the added benet that
Dot Diva, unlike Break Code or Hit Start, gave the project a personality.
The next challenge was defning a Dot Diva, which required an in-
depth process to develop and test the initiatives main messages. Once
again, the newly named Dot Diva team turned to its research, particularly
those answers that revealed which characteristics of a career were most
important to collegebound girls. Using several of the key themes that
emerged, the team tested several slogans. Ultimately, the project tag
linechosen by the girls, largely because it used the word we and em-
phasized the importance of making a difference in the worldbecame:
Were young women with the power and passion to make a difference.
We believe in the potential of computing to build a better world.
The look and feel of the project was as important as the words used
in the messages. No detail was too small for the Dot Diva team to test
on the target audiencebackground color, typeface choice, typeface
color, layout. Visual appeal is crucial not only to grab your audiences
attention, but also, in the case of computer science, to help break down
stereotypes and negative opinions.
Lessons learned: There is an old advertising adage: Kodak sells
lm, but it doesnt advertise lmit advertises memories. Programs
and institutions seeking to recast and reinvigorate their images would
do well to remember that while they are providing an education, they
are also offering young people the means to explore their interests and
make a difference in the world. Dot Diva is selling computer science,
but its not advertising computer science. Its advertising an exciting
future of collaborative work and passionate commitment to making
the world a better place. Why? First, because its true, and second,
because our research told us that is what matters to our audience.
Its lesson No. 1 from the Dot Diva experience: Whether your proj-
ect is small or large, know your audience. And you dont need to hire
a marketing rm from Manhattan. For the price of a round of snacks,
you can convene a couple of focus groups and gather a wealth of data.
Lesson No. 2: Test every communication document, whether print
or online, with your target audience. Then redesign and test, test again.
Lesson No. 3: Assume nothing. One of the classic missteps in trying
to attract students to computer science lies in the fact that people in
the eld are often the ones who design and write the communication
brochures and recruitment pamphlets. They often assume, misguided-
ly, that the messages that resonate with them will also appeal to their
target audience. That is rarely the case.
And so we return to that Tech Camp poster. After running it
through the Dot Diva lter, the team created a couple of alternatives.
The winning design, at right, which is informed by extensive research
into the target audience, gets it right.

ometimes you are the problem.
Personal conficts with students or colleagues have eroded
the confdence of many a probationary faculty member and
graduate student. In last months column, I offered a set of
people problems in which you, the assistant professor or
graduate student, were most likely blameless. Knowing that
you are not at fault in a particular confict can be the frst step toward a
solution, even if it is simply to stop beating yourself up in needless guilt.
Of course its hard to resist blaming someone else. Admitting that a
personal or personnel dispute is your fault is diffcultand near impossible
for some people.
We live in a world where it is standard political discourse to lay 100
percent of the blame for any crisis or problem on the
opposing party. Or, as a recent popular psychology
book put it: Mistakes were made, but not by me.
But there is obvious virtue and not-so-obvious practi-
cal value in fessing up: It is easier to fx yourself than
to motivate other people to change their characters.
I offer myself as a case study. My frst semester on the tenure track was
an unhappy one. Adjusting to a new culture, misfring on a research project,
developing challenging new courses, and, above all, experiencing a shaky
start to my classroom rhythm left me rattled and uncertain. The student
evaluations of my teaching, while not horrible, were certainly not positive.
The No. 1 complaint: I was condescending.
My instant reaction was resentment. I complained to my mentors about
being misunderstood. Both of them, senior professors, heard me out and
then replied, Maybe the students are right. I paused to consider the pos-
sibility. I learned then that useful mentors are not relentless cheerleaders
but rather truth-tellerseven when their candor hurts. Maybe I was being
condescending to overcompensate for the insecurity I felt as a new faculty
member.
When I next taught, I tried to remember that the classroom is not meant
to be a stage for the instructors showboating. The goal of instruction is not
to boast about how much we know but to teach as well as we can. Accepting
that I was the one at fault helped me to begin fxing the problem.
Here are some examples of other people problems that are actually
person problemsthe culprit being you.
You have not paid your dues but act like you have. An assistant profes-
sor railed to his cohort of disgruntled juniors that a power block of senior
scholars was thwarting him at every turn when all he wanted to do was to
make necessary (and sweeping) revisions in the undergraduate curricu-
lum. One of his friends, a particularly insightful tenure tracker, pointed
out, Youve only been here two months and you want to change some
major stuff; how do you think that comes off to people whove been here 20
years?
If colleagues in your department are fghting you, it might be because
you have not established credibility or shown that you have taken the time
to thoroughly investigate a matter before preaching revolution.
The issue is not change itself, in many cases, but rather the manner and
the timing of your advocacy. I noticed that factor early in my own career
when I served on a committee studying a part of our departments graduate
curriculum. I diffdently suggested a major innovation and was pleasantly
surprised when the faculty accepted it with little disagreement. The crucial
context: I was able to document that the consequences of the change were
ones I had thoroughly explored and that, all along the way, I had consulted
with and incorporated the advice of key groups that would be affected by
the change.
So ask yourself: Am I riling people up before they have any reason to
trust my word on a topic?
You are overly suspicious. Even paranoids have enemies, or so the old
saying goes. And certainly you may encounter people who actively seek
to thwart your tenure-and-promotion bid. But during the doctoral and
tenure-track years, most young scholars face few outright enemies who plot
their downfall. To the contrary, you may do more damage to yourself by
assuming villainy in others, since nothing is as likely to create an enemy as
treating someone like one.
One assistant professor was given some bad advice by a full professor
about a research project, and it ended in failure. From that moment on, the
junior scholar saw the senior professor through a dark-tinted lens. Every
comment, change in facial expression, and memo on any topic was inter-
preted as yet another element of a conspiracy to sink the young scholars
career. Yet from the point of view of his colleagues, the assistant professor
was wildly misconstruing innocent events and remarks. The senior scholar
was not the most brilliant researcher, but neither was he malevolent, and the
conspiracy theorizing just made its spinner look silly.
Dont assume malicious intent behind the unhelpful words and actions
of someone when plain old incompetence or indifference are more likely
sources.
You are acting selfshly. A department chair described a particularly
ruthless approach to time management by one assistant professor who an-
nounced that she could not attend faculty meetings because they fell on her
self-appointed research days.
Furthermore, the service work she did agree to was done badly and
tardily, seemingly to ward off being bothered by any future service assign-
ments at all. She may have saved herself some time, but the resentment she
incurred would defnitely come back to haunt her when the people who
were taking up her slack and cleaning up her messes would vote on her
tenure bid.
Being a good colleague means understanding that
we all need to sacrifce a little for each other. Fac-
ulty autonomy does not translate as everyone always
getting to do what they want when they want. Collegi-
ality is not just about civility but showing that you are
interested in being a permanent part of a team. When negotiating service
obligations, dont put yourself frst in every way. The more you think about
being helpful, within reason, and still being able to accomplish your own
teaching and research goals and meet your departments expectations, the
more people will see you as someone they want to keep around.
You complain too much. Years ago I conducted an ethnographic study
of a police department. I found the offcers to be brave, conscientious,
astute about the absurdities and stresses in the legal system, and often quite
witty about their own situation. They also complaineda lot. In every work
environment I have encountered or participated in, from video-game store
clerk to junior reporter, I found that employee complaints are common. In
my book on my police study, I posited a grand theory of whining: Orga-
nizational culture is successful when complaints are allowed adequately to
vent steam. In contrast, when nobody is doing anything but complaining,
dysfunction rules.
For junior faculty members, complaining to each other is a sine qua
non of the tenure track. But there is a big difference between essentially
good-natured airing of grievances over the occasional lunch and a nonstop
barrage of negativity.
A colleague in the sciences, now tenured, described how he had gotten
into a rut of ranting, so much so that he nearly established a reputation
in his department of fundamental dissatisfaction. In the words of a senior
faculty member, You really dont want to be here, do you?
If you have a legitimate complaint, thats one thing. But the reason
people might have a problem with you is that you come off as narcissistic
and whiny. In the end, people assume you are the problem, not what you
are complaining about. And if you seem to be someone who complains
about anything, then increasingly people will ignore your arguments about
everything.
You are a jerk. Only once in my academic career have I come across
someone who admitted, in so many words, that he was a bad person. A
troublemaker and bully, he acknowledged, in a moment of candor after
a few drinks, that he enjoyed being mean to junior faculty members. He
justifed his conduct by citing how badly he had been treated on the tenure
track. Such Richard III-like admissions are obviously raremuch more so
than the actual number of people who treat others badly but justify their
conduct as necessary and motivated by good intentions.
Self-awareness is not just a laudable character trait; it is an invaluable
political skill. In the world of tenure and promotion, you are the crucial
independent variable. Moreover, as you may have already learned, to your
dismay, people who have a problem with something you are doing may
never tell you why they are mad at you.
Self-diagnosis may be the only path to a solution. Are you arrogant and
brusque with students? Overbearing to your teaching assistants? Conniving
and back-stabbing to your colleagues because you enjoy playing the villain?
There is no downside to brutal self-assessment, to seeking professional help
when needed, or to avenging your own past suffering by helping others.
Admitting to ourselves that we areat least in partto blame for a
diffculty we face is hard, but it is necessary for getting on with life and
careers. It is also a sign that you have developed two key components of the
tenure-worthy: maturity and responsibility.

The Daniel Patrick Moynihan Prize
of the
American Academy
of Political and Social
Science
2012 Call for
Nominations
The American Academy of Political
and Social Science invites nomina-
tions for the 2012 Daniel Patrick
Moynihan Prize. The Moynihan
Prize recognizes public offcials and
scholars who champion the use of
informed judgement to improve
public policy. The Prize is intended
to honor those who, like the late Senator, have promoted the use of sound
analysis and social science research in policy-making, while contributing to
the civility of public discourse.
Candidates for the Prize should include those whose careers have made
substantial contributions to the many areas of public policy to which
Daniel Patrick Moynihan was deeply committed, including: the alleviation
of poverty, the health of populations, the design of the built environment
and public works, the improvement of race and ethnic relations, and the
conservation of natural resources. They may also include those whose
careers have exhibited a dedication to strengthening the use of statistical
evidence and quality data in the policy process.
Candidates must be willing to accept the award in person at a ceremony to
be held in late spring 2012.
Nominations must be submitted by September 16, 2011, and may be
considered over a three-year period. Please submit nominations, along
with a supporting letter, to:

Q
uick, when I say leader, what comes to
mind? The question is prompted by a story
a colleague shared about her universitys
recent search during which one candidate for
a senior leadership position had an amazing
day on the campus and then went down in
fames in the fnal hour.
As is the case in many senior searches, candidates came
to the campus on separate visits and spent their day meeting
and meeting and meeting. At the end of the day, members
of the campus community were invited to a large room with
theater-style seating to hear the candidate speak. The format
was to be the same for each meeting. The search chair would
introduce the candidate, who would then speak for 20 min-
utes, and the audience would be invited to ask questions for
the remainder of the hour.
Candidate No. 1, a man, visited the campus frst. He was in-
troduced as Dr. Candidate, he spoke, and then took questions.
Candidate No. 2, also a man, came to the campus second.
He was introduced as Dr. Candidate, he spoke, and then
took questions.
Candidate No. 3, a woman, visited last. The search-com-
mittee chair approached the podium to introduce the candi-
date, but this time, he said to the audience, While I would
normally introduce todays guest as Dr. Candidate, she
specifcally asked me to introduce her as frst name, so let
me introduce you to frst name last name. This prompted
smiles from some and raised eyebrows from others. And then
it was time for her talk. Did Candidate No. 3 stand up and
begin with her prepared remarks? No, she asked everyone to
move chairs into a circle so we can really talk. Ten chairs in
a circle might not be hard. Fifty plus? Awkward.
Candidate No. 3 was clearly trying to demonstrate her com-
mitment to inclusion and show that she is a good listener, and
her supporters argued that she would introduce a consensus-
style form of leadership that would bring the campus together.
While not disputing that she was the most accomplished
scholar, her opponents criticized her for failing to behave like
a leader. Some even criticized her for acting like a girl.
Clearly, many people have views about how a leader is
expected to behave, and candidates take a risk when acting
outside of expected norms. What do you think? Are we hold-
ing on to old mental models of leadership?
Response: I dont buy the assertion that we are holding
on to old models of leadership. Institutions generally go to
great lengths to ensure that the playing feld is level so that
the candidates can be judged fairly. The person described as
No. 3 should have acquiesced to the procedures set forth by
the committee. Candidates can show their leadership qualities
within a Q&A session and without causing turmoil by chang-
ing arrangement of the room. Im also wondering: Would the
reaction to No. 3 be any different if she were a he?
Response: Candidate No. 3s behaviorespecially asking
50 people to move their chairs into a circleclearly demon-
strated a tone-deafness to her audiences needs and expecta-
tions. As such, it probably was an accurate refection of her
leadership style and skills, or lack thereof.

What Does a Leader Look Like?
By Isaac Sweeney
L
ast week, I was offered a tenure-track position.
Come August, I will offcially be an assistant
professor of English at Richard Bland College,
a two-year campus in Virginia that is associated
with the College of William & Mary.
Im still reeling.
Its been a strange path to the tenure track, in my opinion.
If youve been following my posts, you probably agree. I
know there are many, many people still searching for tenure-
track work. I cant offer tons of advice, but I can offer a few
hints, which I will try to do in the coming weeks.
In The Chronicles Forums and article comments, one
piece of advice comes up again and again. Apparently, theres
an unwritten rule that, in academe, youre not supposed to
voice your opinions if you see something wrong with higher
education. Administrators dont seem to like it when you do
that as a job candidate. Other faculty members dont seem
to like it. Everybody just wants to do their job, get paid, go
home, and eventually retire fat and happy.
Of course, thats only true for some people in academe. But
it has been the advice Ive received the most, in some form
or another, since I started posting in this blog (STFU, stop
whining, if you dont like it, then leave, etc.).
But I dont like to keep quiet. I believe that pointing out
inadequacies can lead to changes for the better. Theres a line
between being a jerk and offering constructive criticism, of
course. In writing about adjuncts for this blog and in other
places, I cant say for sure if Ive crossed that line; I dont think
I have.
I can say that, when I visited Richard Bland College for my
interview, the faculty members I met seemed pleased with
what I had written about adjunct issues. Maybe not because of
what I said, or even how I said it, but pleased that I had said
it. Some even shared stories with me of their own previous
adjunct experiences.
So my frst word of advice about fnding a tenure-track job is
this: Be brave, especially if youre a writer or in some other area
where you can have a voice. Speak out constructively. Its true that
it may not always work out for you, and its true that you will meet
some naysayers along the way. But its also true that you may be
just what someone is looking for. Whatever you do, dont keep
silent.
Response: In my experience, if the institution/organization
isnt open to hearing the voices of those who speak out con-
structively, it probably isnt a place where I will be satisfed to
spend the majority of my waking hours.
Response: Congratulations. This is something I have been
blogging about, saying, and doing for the past two years (I
know, not very long, but what can I say? It took me a while). I
hope others will see this and understand that it isnt impos-
sible to speak out, speak up, and be a tenure-track professor.
Keep it up!
Response: The key to what you said is be constructive.
Many people are not aware, or skillful, at giving constructive
criticism.
Response: It is also true that in a competitive market, there
is often more than one qualifed candidate. You need some-
one to say, I really want to work with that guy/gal. Bland
is not going to distinguish you. And anything that would
make you stand out positively is going to be a big negative for
someone. Without the risk, there may not be a reward.
Isaac Sweeney is an adjunct in the English department at
Blue Ridge Community College, in Virginia, and is also a
freelance writer and editor.

Announcement of Faculty Searches
Transformation from Vocational to a New Liberal Arts College
Xing Wei College is a private selective admissions college accredited by the Ministry of Education and
located in the College Science and Technology Park, Shanghai Nanhui, China, in proximity to eight
other colleges and universities. The Colleges purposes are twofold: (1) to provide an American style
(English speaking) campus environment with progressive learning methods and (2) through its general
education curriculum to open transfer access to high quality universities in the U.S. In September,
2012 the college will be transformed from a vocational college to the rst Chinese American liberal
arts college with major courses of study leading to college diplomas in Arts and Sciences, Business and
Computer Studies. College Web site: xingweicollege.org.
Faculty Searches for 2012-13
Xing Wei College announces openings for our founding faculty in the following disciplines:
Accounting and Business Director of English as a Second Language Center
Biology and Environmental Science English as a Second Language (2 positions)
College Counselor (bi-lingual) Mathematics and Statistics
Computer Sciences Psychology
English Composition and Literature Philosophy and Ethics
Physical Sciences
Faculty Qualications
The Motto of Xing Wei College is: Freedom to Explore; Passion to Achieve; Conscience to do Good.
The faculty who will launch the new college must believe in this motto. They must show evidence of
commitment to a liberal arts education through team and interdisciplinary teaching, learning communities,
project-based learning and the development throughout the curriculum of independent and critical
thinking skills, writing and speaking skills, and a student-centered passion for discovery and innovation.
The minimum academic preparation for all positions is a masters degree in the discipline and a doctoral
degree is highly desired. Successful candidates will be individuals who are willing to fully engage in
the formation of the new college, working enthusiastically with one another and students in a high
energy level collaborative academic culture. Teaching loads will be less than at most colleges; however,
extracurricular activities and learning projects will require more involvement than the typical faculty
load. Most new faculty will live in the campus faculty housing and participate in the Residence College
program. English is the instructional language.
Salary and Benets
The salary range for nine-month appointments is between $54,000 and $65,000. Benets include free
on-campus housing in newly decorated and fully furnished apartments and a minimum health insurance
plan which faculty can supplement for more comprehensive coverage for themselves and/or additional
family members. There is no college provided retirement plan. The salaries are very high compared to
other colleges in China and the faculty can expect to save enough, due to housing provided and the
low-cost of living, to contribute to their own retirement fund.
Application Process
These searches are being conducted by Consulting Services for Higher Education LLC (www.consulthed.com).
Documents to be submitted by e-mail include copies of university transcripts, rsum of teaching and other
professional and/or volunteer experience, a personal statement related to the position announcement, and

be consulted for the nalists before they come to Shanghai for interviews. The college in China will accept
no inquiries. Send application materials and inquiries to info@consulthed.com by August 20, 2011.

PROVOST/VICE PRESIDENT
FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
Fairfield, Connecticut
Sacred Heart University (SHU) seeks an inspiring, visionary and transformational leader to serve as
provost/vice president for academic affairs of a vibrant academic community that has experienced
extraordinary growth and success over the past several decades. Founded in 1963, SHU is a co-
educational, independent, comprehensive institution of higher learning rooted in the liberal arts and the
Catholic Intellectual Tradition (CIT). Since its inception, the University has grown from a small
commuter campus to a leading regional institution with an international presence. Today, enrollment
reaches over 6,000 students, making SHU the second-largest Catholic university in New England.
Recognized among The Princeton Reviews Best 373 Colleges and Best 301 Business Schools, with
a top-tier ranking in U.S. News & World Report for the past seven years, SHU is considered an
international leader in Catholic higher education. This is an exceptional opportunity for a new provost
with a passion for academic excellence to guide an institutions continued growth and development and
chart a defined course for the coming era.
Inspired by the ecumenical spirit of the Second Vatican Council, SHU was the first Catholic university
in America designed to be led and staffed by lay people. In March 2011, the University named Dr. John
J. Petillo, former dean of the John F. Welch College of Business and past chancellor of Seton Hall
University, as the institutions sixth president. Under Dr. Petillos leadership, SHU continues to remain
committed to the principles of personal attention and customized learning for the individual student.
Sacred Heart Universitys academic programs are designed to develop men and women
knowledgeable of self, rooted in faith, educated in mind and compassionate in heart. The University
comprises five distinct colleges: the College of Arts & Sciences, the NCATE-accredited Farrington
College of Education, the College of Health Professions, the AACSB-accredited John F. Welch College
of Business and University College, the institutions link to the regions adult and corporate
communities. Together, the schools offer more than 50 degree programs at the associates, bachelors,
masters and doctoral levels. The institutions 4,200 undergraduate and 2,000 graduate students
benefit from a 15:1 student-to-faculty ratio, an average class size of 22 and a financial aid commitment
of more than $36 million annually, which allows more than 90% of full-time undergraduates to receive
financial aid. In 2007, the University launched its new undergraduate Core Curriculum, which includes
SHUs academic signature, the Common Core: The Human Journey. This rigorous curriculum
immerses students in a coherent and integrated understanding of the arts and sciences and the
Catholic Intellectual Tradition and has been recognized by the Association of American Colleges and
Universities as a national model of values education.
Sacred Heart University seeks in its next provost a strong academic leader with an innovative,
entrepreneurial spirit, proven management skills and expertise in the strategic advancement of a
mission-driven institution. Financial acumen and demonstrated success helping to guide a complex
organization through growth and change are also required. The candidate must be a leader who fully
embraces the preservation, transmission and development of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition and
must be an articulate spokesperson for the value of the liberal arts and SHUs distinctive mission. An
earned doctorate and an outstanding record of teaching and scholarship are required. As the chief
academic officer of the University, the provost must have earned promotion to full professor in an
academic department through substantial peer-reviewed publication. The provost must be able to
articulate a clear academic vision and strategy for the University, promote academic rigor and drive the
development of new academic programs, foster a collegial and collaborative ethos that capitalizes on
the richness of the SHU community and encourage a continued commitment to academic excellence.
