No
Magic, Little Sleep, and Lots of Luck: Reflections from a Long-Serving
University President
By Stephen Joel Trachtenberg
Financial misdeeds, athletics scandals, and votes of "no confidence."
How does a president escape all of these and hold office for the long
haul? And why does one serve for an extensive term? The
soon-to-be president emeritus of The George Washington University
explores these questions as he looks back on his long tenure at the
institution.
A
Call to Action for Promoting Expanded Access
By James C. Renick

of Programs & Research and former university chancellor says
one-size-fits-all responses are not the answer to removing these
obstacles.
The
University as Public Square
By Elaine P. Maimon

education institutions should be characterized by a sense of
partnership, a sense of place, a sense of priority, and a sense of
citizenship. In short, the university should function as a public
square.
