In higher education, institutional presidents require the support of their boards, yet the operations and perspectives of these boards often remain opaque. This presents a challenge for effective governance and collaboration within the sector.
Why it matters

A lack of transparency or understanding between these parties can impede effective governance and operational alignment, impacting overall institutional performance and stakeholder confidence.
Key insights

- Boards in the higher education sector are perceived as 'the big black box,' indicating a lack of transparency or understanding regarding their internal workings and decision-making processes.
- The relationship between presidents and boards is crucial for institutional success.
