News Byte: President Foley Recognized by City & State for Presiding Over the University鈥檚 Recent Honors
City & State New York named 黑料导航 President Hank Foley, Ph.D., to its list.
According to City & State New York, 鈥淟eading a college or university is not limited to such traditional responsibilities as carrying out an educational mission, overseeing faculty and staff, balancing budgets and serving as an institution鈥檚 public face. Today, the job increasingly involves navigating political battles. In an era of rising partisanship, higher education leaders must balance free speech and academic freedom with the sensitivities of students. They must determine how best to achieve student and faculty diversity. And are they positioning their institutions as engines of economic mobility, or saddling graduates with student loan debts?鈥�
For this year鈥檚 list, the magazine looked at academic leaders who are answering these questions. The list is not based on graduation rates, class size, or test scores. It recognizes those who are making a difference on and off campus 鈥渨hether it鈥檚 spurring job growth, advocating for policy changes or advising city and state government officials.鈥�
