A November 2, 2005 article from The Associated Press examines a recent trend in higher education: more colleges are selecting presidents with a background in finance or business, rather than academics. Limited resources and the current economy have made the ability to develop and maintain a balanced budget a key skill for college presidents. New presidents whose former employment was not in the field of education may find they need to work harder to gain the trust of faculty members, who are concerned with retaining their academic freedom.
