| Summary: | The first of these speeches, "The Trustee: An Endangered Species," recounts current challenges facing community college trusteeship, including enrollment ceilings, faculty unionism, state super-boards, and financial disclosure laws. The traditional role of the trustee was not designed to meet these and other current threats to the community college and to local board control. Trustees are urged to become political activists, and initiate defensive action through the legislative and political process. The second speech, "The Challenge to Presidential Authority," urges community college presidents and trustees to team together as a political force to fight the enactment of a federal public employees collective bargaining law, which is presently under consideration by the Congress. The states should have the right to refrain from or to enact collective bargaining laws, and to experiment, amend, or rewrite such laws to meet their own needs. (BB) |
