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 launch The Spectrum Initiative: Advancing Diversity in
the College Presidency.
This multi-year national agenda is designed 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.
