Why Research Universities Should Be Led by Top Scholars
I think I will take the contrarian view. Maybe looking backwards it might have made sense, but I'm not so sure looking forward. Experts (scientists) are not the best for dealing with complexity. Increasingly the issues facing higher education are complex not complicated. I will agree, however, that we don't need managers either.
How about leaders who sense that the world is changing, and have the guts to try bold new experiments in response.
