Board governance in the wake of a pandemic

The pandemic has left college boards facing stark and difficult choices. But the pressure is also creating opportunities for boards to evolve in ways that could be beneficial in the long term, Peter Eckel and Cathy A. Trower argue in Board Source. 

While the pandemic poses its own unique challenges, Eckel, a Penn GSE Higher Education administration expert, and Trower provide suggestions that aren’t limited to this specific situation.

Appreciate the complexity, and approach decision making differently.
