One of the basic beliefs of trusteeship is that an individual board member has no individual authority to direct any employee of the college. It is also stated that the board only has one employee, the president (CEO) that they employ.
In your post, address the following:
- Why do you think this is important for a college to carry out its mission?
- Do you have any experience or do you know of an example when a member of the board tried to direct the president individually, or tried to direct a member of the staff?
- What was the situation?
- What was the outcome of the situation?
Reminder: Length does not equal strength. Effective posts are brief and to the point. Consider your post to be an executive brief and keep it under 500 words, if possible.
