Capitalizing on the imminent wave of college
presidents' retirements and the resulting opportunity to ensure a more
inclusive pool of leadership talent, a group of leading higher education
associations are partnering to lead The Spectrum Initiative:
Advancing Diversity in the College Presidency.
The goal of this multi-year national agenda is to diversify and
broaden executive leadership talent in higher education through
programmatic and research initiatives involving, among others,
institutional boards of trustees, executive search firms, campus search
communities, current presidents, and aspiring leaders.
Goals and Objectives
To broaden and strengthen the leadership pipeline for women and
racial/ethnic minority administrators and prepare them for senior
leadership positions in higher education.
To ensure that the presidential search and selection process is
widely inclusive.
To promote on-campus leadership development, mentoring, and
succession planning.
