University President's Crisis Handbook

The management of a large university is a huge undertaking. The complexity of their operations, the diversity of their stakeholders, and the breadth of their potential combine to make universities exciting and challenging places to lead. But what should one do if the university in question is in dire financial or operational straits? Can a university recover from devastating setbacks? In University President's Crisis Handbook , the President of the University of Idaho, C. Scott Green, with the help of Temple Kinyon deliver a unique perspective on how to manage universities through periods of turmoil and intense difficulty. In the book, you'll find in-depth managerial insights into the three strategic pillars that assisted Green as he shepherded the University of Idaho through years of deep deficits and the COVID-19 pandemic. You'll also discover guidance from leading industry experts that informed Green's approach to management.

It also describes the strategic touchstones that guided Green's managerial efforts, including student success, narrative control, and his pursuit of R1 Carnegie research classification and soaring grant awards. The book explores the impact that a tragic and outrageous crime against four of its students had on the university and its community, as well as the strategies used by the school and its faculty to safely reopen after the lengthy closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
