Title

A national study on the community college presidency

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to add to the research base on the community college presidency by focusing on contemporary topics and challenges. The study involved a group of community college presidents from across the United States who were appointed to their positions during a 21 – month period from 1995 to 1997. The instrument used in this study was designed to obtain the following: previous positions held, presidents’ motivation to seek a presidency, the time it took to obtain a presidency, presidential search processes, and initial observations upon taking office. The presidents were also quizzed on the Carver Governance Model, as well as the current movement to transform community colleges from teacher – centered to learner - centered institutions. © 1999 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
