About the Webconference

Most colleges and universities share the same core priorities—financial sustainability, enrollment growth, and student success among them—but few are successful in aligning departmental incentives and evaluation with those priorities. The metrics we use as academic administrators (such as six-year graduation rates) are often both imprecise and lagging, making it difficult for the average department chair to understand the role their faculty play in advancing the institution’s efforts.

EABs Practice Manager, Colin Koproske, will be examining these challenges and will share how innovative provosts are developing new methods of engaging departmental leaders in several key areas, with a special focus on diversity and inclusion.
