Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare how elected and appointed board trustees provide oversight for the community colleges they serve. The rationale for this study was that little examination of board governance processes at community colleges had occurred and, as a result, board members may lack the understanding necessary for effectively performing their governance responsibilities. Although there have been multiple studies examining the board-president relationship, little research has examined what differences between elected and state-appointed boards may exist, and if board members are prepared to understand and fulfill their responsibilities. The following questions guided the research: (1) To what extent do the roles and responsibilities of politically appointed trustees and locally elected trustees differ? (2) How prepared are state boards and elected boards for their oversight role and responsibilities? The goal of the research was to identify whether there were substantial differences between how state-appointed boards and elected boards approached their oversight responsibilities, to identify benefits or limitations for an institution between state board oversight and elected board oversight, and to better understand the importance of board preparation. The research design followed a qualitative case study methodology focusing on three community college boards in the same state -- two locally elected community college boards and the state board of a community college system. A collective case study provided a unique opportunity to compare if differences existed between locally elected and state-appointed boards. The research instruments utilized to gather data for this study were a questionnaire, interviews, board meeting observations and examinations of board minutes, orientation packets, and board policies. The themes that emerged from the study fell primarily into the following categories: professional experience, board preparation, roles and responsibilities, decision-making, and board relations. The study findings did not reveal there were strong and unique procedural differences between elected and state-appointed trustees, but it did confirm that board preparation is severely lacking for all boards, resulting in boards composed of well-intended individuals, but not necessarily equipped to serve effectively. For boards to operate at a high level of effectiveness in support of the college mission, the findings supported the following: boards undergo initial and ongoing training on their roles and responsibilities, employ a strong president who understands the importance of board preparation, and have a commitment to ongoing professional development regarding their governance roles. Lacking any of the above can greatly impact board effectiveness and has the potential to leave institutions vulnerable to poor oversight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governing boards of organizations have come under scrutiny in recent decades for financial problems, leadership scandals, and a variety of other uncomfortable reasons. Trustees might have prevented challenges and scandals if the appropriate board oversight were in place including the right board structures, practices, culture, governance, and communication processes. Colleges, and university boards in particular, operate in a unique space given their organizations' mission to educate the next generation of students, conduct groundbreaking research that promotes the development of new knowledge, and engage in civic activities among other endeavors. These organizations are held in high esteem because of the importance of their mission, despite reported poor decisions and scandals within the industry. Governing boards vary greatly in size, structure, culture, and effectiveness of operation. Their members make decisions about the direction of the institution, including changes in leadership, mission, purpose, or strategy. However, these decisions remain a mystery to most scholars and, certainly, to the general public who are the consumers of their educational services. With global disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of governing boards and their decision-making has become even more critical to institutions' long-term sustainability. This study utilized a qualitative multiple case study approach to examine how two different types of higher education governing boards (private and public) determine when to make decisions about significant changes within the organization. To develop an understanding of the operations of a governing board in relation to the change process and leadership change, in-depth interviews were conducted with governing board members from two different higher education institutions in the northeastern United States. The communication practices between the governing board and the president in particular were explored as a component of the decision-making process, in light of shifts in the educational landscape due to the pandemic. Through an analysis of governing boards' decision-making process, as well as their structure, culture, governance practices, performance, and relationship to the president of the organization, this study has identified factors that contribute to governing boards' decisions to make significant change.
