Today's Mission Critical Campus Jobs

The roles that are growing in strategic importance

It takes more than a president to run a campus. As the task of operating an institution has grown increasingly complex, so have the jobs of some key, but sometimes overlooked, players. The Chronicle has identified 12 roles of growing importance to the strategic success and overall health of the contemporary institution of higher ed.

This report explores how these positions have traditionally functioned, why they've recently grown more essential, and how they're continuing to evolve to help their campuses meet the challenges of the future.
