The landscape of higher education is increasingly shaped by crises. Encampments, sexual misconduct, campus violence, and natural disasters have been among the most recent crises facing colleges and universities. It is often up to executive leaders in higher education to navigate crises and make crucial decisions that impact constituents across the institution and community. The presenters will share results from their dissertation which responds to this question: How do leaders in higher education make decisions during a crisis? 

Learning Outcomes

2. Compare ways to address crises currently facing their institutions
