"Chemistry" Makes the Difference as a College Searches for a New President.

Heller, Scott

Chronicle of Higher Education, v31 n11 p1,28-31 Nov 13 1985

Oakland Community College allowed a "Chronicle" reporter to watch the college president selection process. Their experiences are described, and some lessons they learned are offered: the process is imperfect, consultants shape the process heavily, and "chemistry" makes the ultimate difference among the finalists.
