[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Academic here: the best college administrators are not always the best scholars. Managerial skills and brilliant scholarship are not one and the same; often they don't co-exist. I can be as snobby about degrees as the next person, but for me the key to a great university president is not what they've published but how they handle students, faculty, parents, fundraising, community-building, etc[/quote] It’s true that the best university administrators may not be the best scholars. In fact, many scholars prefer not to be university administrators. But a college president has to have done true academic research and has established in academia to earn the respect of faculty and understand what faculty are going through. People like to say the most knowledgeable may not be the best teacher. But you also can’t teach when your knowledge is utterly lacking![/quote]
