The seventh chapter of the 2021-2022
President to President thought leadership series is now available online. In “
The Cost of Higher Education’s Pursuit of Status,” University of Mary Washington President Troy D. Paino, J.D., Ph.D., examines higher education’s obsession with the attainment of status. He details some of the consequences of prioritizing status above other values, describes the benefits of changing this way of thinking, and shares ideas for shifting focus to other priorities.
This year's
President to President series, titled “
The Vitality and Power of Higher Education,” showcases insights from renowned college and university presidents. These higher education experts provide a firsthand look at some of the innovative ways campuses are overcoming challenges and thriving despite difficult circumstances. We hope you enjoy reading a thought-provoking new chapter each month and look forward to continuing to share fresh perspectives and creative ideas with you.
