About this title

Synopsis

In The Effective Administrator, Donald E. Walker, president of Southeastern Massachusetts University, argues for a "democratic, pluralistic" model for the university, and throughout the book he explores the implications of this model, a frankly political one, for administrative policies, procedures, and, especially, style. He contends that administrators who fully understand this model and carry out its imperatives will enjoy the moral authority that is indispensable to academic leadership.
