Abstract
Takeaways
The progress—and setbacks—of eight institutions that served as test cases have yielded a set of lessons about board oversight of educational quality from which others can benefit:
1 Ensure a sufficient institutional-assessment capacity.
2 Start with what you already have.
3 Make academic quality a priority of the boad and institutional leaders.
4 Attach the effort to other activities.
5 Educate the board on education.
6 Find the right focus.
7 Allow for targeted deeper dives.
8 Develop new board processes and use time differently.
9 Deepen the engagement of the board with faculty.
