The Paradox of the Presidency: The Difference a President Makes in Institutional Functioning at Three Community Colleges.

Levin, John S.

Canadian Journal of Higher Education, v22 n3 p28-45 1992

The president's impact was seen in public and government perceptions of the college, institutional decision making, preservation of college philosophy, and communication of institutional mission.
