VIDEO: Fulfilling the Trust: College Trustee Leadership in a New Era

National Association of Scholars

For decades, the position of university trustee was largely a public honorific. This is changing. As Republican governors recognize that their public colleges are financially mismanaged, academically corrupt, and increasingly ideologically captured, they’re asking their appointees to do something about it. In Fulfilling the Trust: College Trustee Leadership in a New Era, a new edited volume from AEI’s Conservative Education Reform Network and the Heritage Foundation, a group of eminent scholars provides a blueprint for trustees to effectively govern their institutions.

Join AEI’s Preston Cooper and a virtual panel of higher education experts, including NAS Director of Research David Randall, as they introduce the new volume and discuss the role of college trustees in shaping and reforming universities.
